Bio

Shadadrian Dijunè Johnson (born April 23, 1986), better known by his stage name Lone Star, is a hip hop artist, songwriter, and executive producer from Austin, Texas.  He is currently unsigned, but has created his own brand called OMG.

Lone Star started rapping at 8 years old, freestyling in cyphers with older kids around the neighborhood. It was not until 2008, deployed in Iraq with the US Air Force, he taught himself to write and structure songs. He quickly be came popular in Italy with singles like "From the Top", "Twerk", and "Texas".  Best known for lyrical and witty punchlines, Lone Star's ability to change cadences, versatility, and exuberant personility captivates crowds.  "I don't listen to mainstream or radio because it's saturated with fads as far as the sounds and content.  Everyone sounds the same these days.  Its only a few artists that I respect lIke J Cole, Kendrick Lamar and KRIT.  These artist respect rap as an art form and stay true to themselves.", says the Texas artist when asked about mainstream music and radio. 

Lone Star is currently working on Kush Dreams Codeine Nightmares due to release in the end of year.  The project features songs like "Parkin' Lot Pimpin" with well known Houston artist Killa Kyleon that pays tribute to the Texas Slab Culture. With features from D Rob, an Atlanta rapper who assists on tracks like "Fam Good" and "My Life", the Austin rapper tells his story . "I wanted to make a full body of work that you can vibe to. I also wanted to bring that sound that Texas is known for back.", says the Texas artist .
