Music Career
After being discovered by RunDMC and the late Jam Master Jay, Fredro Starr released six albums with Onyx, which included the cousin and fellow group member Sticky Fingaz. He also contributed to the Sunset Park, Light It Up, and Save the Last Dance movie soundtracks.
Onyx split with Def Jam Recordings after their 1998 release Shut 'Em Down, and temporarily broke up, during which time Starr released his first solo album, Firestarr, in 2001. Onyx reunited the next year and released Bacdafucup Part II, and Starr's next album, Don't Get Mad Get Money, arrived in 2003. He formed a new group called Yung Onyx in 2006. As of 2011, he and Layzie Bone of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony are planning to release a joint EP entitled FireSquad, which is set to be released late 2011/ early 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or career:
“But listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire
Opens its eight bells out, skulls’ mouths which will not tire
To tell how there is no music or movement which secures
Escape from the weekday time. Which deadens and endures.”
—Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
