In 2010, most predicted that 2011 would be the year of new rap faces, a rebirth of the genre fueled by the underground. No doubt “I AM SHING”, Shing Shing Regime’s debut mixtape, will fulfill plenty of hip-hop appetites. This is one of the most important Hip-Hop releases in Canadian music history. Salute Truth, Cee Self 7, Symmetry and Future Buddha DJ Akiin have compiled a 22 track release that displays the Regime’s significant lyrical talents and beat choice. Every person I play this for is taken back by the depth of the lyrics and the unique “future-vintage” sound of the album. This hasn’t left my whip’s CD Player and is on full repeat in Steel City’s barbershops. Features production by Cee Self 7, DJ Akiin, SUP∆83, Eso Tahreek, Bronze Nazareth, Tejani and Focus. A #StealthMovementz Product Release. Get this album now: http://bit.ly/f4ZNbo
