Ari David Starace[3][4] (born July 27, 1994), professionally known as Y2K, is an American record producer and songwriter.[5] He is best known for producing 'Lalala' alongside Canadian rapper bbno$. As of September 11, 2020, he has over 7.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify.[6]
Billy the Kid Casino, my thought, was to be a nostalgic place. It was nothing more than a smokey dive. The food was good: green chile cheeseburger and quesadillas with. Cleopatra Slot Machine. The Cleopatra slot is a game that is created and designed by big gaming developers IGT (International Gaming Technology). The company is known for creating and distributing software for both online and land-based casinos across the globe.
Influences[edit]
Y2K was introduced to music at an early age; his mother owned a music store in Arizona,[3] which he has said was where his interest in music began.[3] From there he began listening to Gorillaz, and Tears for Fears, which he has mentioned were his earliest influences in music.[3] As he got older, he began listening to bands such as My Chemical Romance, and Say Anything.[3]
According to Y2K, his introduction to music production was from California rapper, Lil B, who introduced him to Clams Casino.[3] Following this, Y2K began to work on music, making remixes exclusively for a few years before making the decision to start producing for others, such as bbno$, Yung Gravy and lil aaron.

History Of Cripple Creek
Cripple Creek is the home of Colorado’s last gold rush. Gold was not discovered in the town until 1890, but in 1891 the town’s Independence mine became one of the largest gold strikes in history. The gold boom brought thousands of prospectors to the area. When the gold rush ended, Cripple Creek became a ghost town.
The town remained small and sleepy until casinos emerged after gambling became legal in Colorado. In 1990, the town had only 600 residents. After gambling became legal in 1991, the town began to refurbish older buildings for use as casinos. And, in 1995 gold was found again. Cripple Creek now produces over 250,000 ounces a gold each year, making it the largest existing mining operation in the US.
