Video: Astro - "He Fell Off"

Even with a massive spotlight on him as part of the reality TV talent show crowd, the now 16 year old rapper Astro (Astronomical Kid) shined against full grown adults with his stage presence and star power. Though he didn't win the show, he made his mark early on and has recently been prepping his upcoming mixtape "Deadbeats and Lazy Lyrics" to help build his true school cred even more. I have to give him major props for not going the "techno dance" route with his new found fame and paying homage to the lyricists and beats from the Golden Era. Here's hoping he can keep carrying the torch for the true school in the years to come.
