[citation needed] Hip-Hop legend and pioneer KRS-One has requested for Anwar to perform alongside him on stage, as well as Lil' Kim, whom he has opened for at NYC’s B.B.
In his own brash words he has said, "I was born that way", but in all actuality the Superstar moniker comes from his mentor, Mos Def.
Mos Def declares, "Anwar is a Superstar due in part to the way people naturally gravitate to him and hang on his every word whether he’s on or off the stage."
Anwar incorporates his diverse musical taste into the words he chooses and tracks he selects to express his thoughts.
Anwar’s writing talent was noticed early on when he became a published poet as a teenager.
