The Brooklyn rapper known as Shiest
City has released his official debut single, “So Loud.” The track
has been proudly published on the Boyzrecord independent music label
without the direction of the corporate music industry. Stylish,
thumping and full of rhythm and groove, “So Loud” is a track
which is already winning Shiest City fans from coast to coast.
Shiest City cites as main artistic
influences Jay Z, Jadakiss, Fabolous, Vybz Kartel, Tupac Shakur and
the Notorious B.I.G. While he shares many qualities of these, his own
sound is definitely unique, blending the island undertones of
dancehall music with the old-school East Coast sound from which both
hip hop and Shiest himself originally sprouted.
The rap artist has also been described
as a lyricist who carefully sculpts his lines and rhymes into phrases
which both achieve the sound he's looking for and carry the precise
meaning he's aiming to communicate. His songs are more urban poetry
than pop hip hop. They're often narrative. “So Loud” is an
example of both his skill at turning phrases and his talent for
storytelling.
“The concept for 'So Loud' is based
around a good girl gone bad,” writes Shiest City. “Many girls
have a fantasy of a thug who can satisfy her through words and
physically at the same time. When a woman finds herself in her ideal
sexual fantasy, she tends to let herself go and not care if someone
in the next room or the neighbors down the block hear her screams;
she is just trapped in the moment. This isn't a love story, just a
casual encounter between two adults.”
An active live performer, Shiest City
can frequently be found engaging in public freestyle battles at
venues such as in Flatbush, Webster Hall, and on “The Star and Buc
Wild Show” from New York City's WWPR 105.1 FM.
Much of Shiest City's musical,
professional and personal character can be gleaned from hearing him
speak about what he terms the “New York Mentality,” which he
likens to a “Darwinian intellectual growth and artistry that only
an East Coast rapper can understand.”
“We improve because we are forced
to,” Shiest City has said of this. “It is with this mentality
that New York has become great, and it is with this mentality that it
will continue to be great. This mentality pervades every man, woman,
and child in this city … Growing up in Flatbush gave me a musical
education more than any school could.”
“So Loud” from Shiest City on the
Boyzrecord label is available online worldwide now. Get in early,
hip-hop fans.
