The beginning of his mix tape projects began with the official, “Streetz Gon Burn” series 1-3, which went back to an era when hip hop meant an infinite horizon of possibilities rather than the staleness of predictability. His accomplishments and highlights in his music career includes his mix tape "L.O.L" which has received critical acclaim in the hip-hop community with stand out tracks like “Let Go” and “Sent to Me”.

He has been nominated for "Making the Most Buzz" for the Long Island Music Awards. Another one of Gemstar’s endeavors has been an international tour with Universal recording artist, Marpo, in the Czech Republic. On this tour, he accompanied his fellow rap artists, Hard Target and Kensta Lopez to introduce Czech Republic to their unique American hip hop sound. “Big Boi” which is an exclusive and special collaboration between the Czech rap star and Gemstar is iconic because of its ability to bridge two worlds that live and breathe hip hop in different languages. Recent projects as a member of rap trilogy, Carrie White, have been a continuation of the fuel driving the fire of hip hop music with blazing tracks like “Somethings Gotta Change” with Hard Target as well as, “What Things Could Be Different” and “Walk Away.” This is the life and the drive of a hip hop artist, one who delivers for the people with his roots in the blazing truth of the meaning of life.
