Raised by his mother and father in the tough streets of Capital Heights Maryland he was determined to not be another statistic of gang violence and drug influence so he chose to take a different path. He began using music as away to express himself, listening to artist like Tupac, Nas, Biggie Smalls and Rakim.He developed his own style and word play,and become one of the most talented artist on the rise. Feeling the need to branch out and spread his music Shame began doing local shows, battle rapping and using local college radios as a way to have his music touch listeners. When asking this artist, to define what music means to you? This is what was said:
“Music to me is my sanctuary. Another way for me to touch others’ lives through my own personal experiences, but still making good music with a meaning. I’m just trying to be one of the new school artist, coming up to help bring the essence back into hip hop…..that’s my goal! Hip Hop Isn’t Dead!
Maryland is where it all began, now bringing his talents to the dirty south (Raleigh, NC). Strictly focused on his music, Shame plans to conquer the world throughout his music. The flow of his music, from hip-hop to R&B shows the flexibility of this upcoming artist.
With inspirations from KRS one, Nas, Rakim , Tupac and many more other artist of the old school, you can tell that his music has definitely taken a moment to relate back to its hip-hop generation. As hip-hop still remains, change is always relevant, take a listen to Shame, as he begins his music journey, and becomes apart of the music movement.
