Pizza Rap 2005

A remix of the Shire Crew hit College radio single. This track's master was lost from the original recordings. So the crew got together and updated it for 2005!
Daddy Shaun- A.K.A. Shadowhawk, Shaun once focused more on behind the scenes work. Well versed in concert promotion, appearing on previous Shire albums, and ghost-writing for Roby G's first solo album "Crossin' Tha Bridge", Shaun became a full-time member of the Shire Crew in 1998. Shaun put aside his long-delayed solo project "Super Sexy Swinging Shauns" to focus solely on the Shire Crew. Fro- A founding member on the Crew, Daddy Fro produced and penned songs for the first Shire Crew album, and appeared solo on tracks on the debut album. Fro later appeared with Mista Big on the "Big Fro" albums. Fro returned to the group after being asked to re-record his parts on the Pizza Rap by Shaun. Influences; Pop music, and early Rap. Killer Kandyman- K.K., as his friends call him, took time off from the group to go on a mission for the Church of Latter Day Saints (all rumors that he had been imprisoned for shooting a cab driver in the face were FALSE). He returned from his journey with lots of new experiences and subjects to rhyme about. Mista Big- The style of the Gangsta Rap of the mid 90's are the chief influence of Mista Big. Big also brings R&B stylings to the music. Co-founded the rap group "Big Fro" during one of the Shire Crew's famed lengthy hiatuses. Johnny Wong- A member since 2000, Johnny Wong appears on nearly every song on Devastated Lives. His standout rhymes have propelled him to being a major member of the group. He takes his Buddhist spirituality as seriously as he does his infamous practical jokes. JD Calu- The legendary beat-creating, weird-voiced, human beat-boxin' rapper of Shire! JD has been a longtime member of the group, but was sidetracked by a lengthy illness (which inspired the title of his 2000 solo album "So ill I'm ILL!"). Now he's back, his throat has healed and yes ladies, he's still single... and has been for a while now... Bobo Fett- The newest member of the Shire Crew, the group met him in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart in the Shire, struck up a conversation, and a week and a half later he had earned his way into the group! Bobo always has a 40 on-hand, as well as some hot rhymes. Vladamir Kickitt- Originally hailing from Holland, Vladamir moved to the Shire in the late 90's, struck up a friendship with Killer Kandyman and Daddy Shaun, and the rest is history. Vladamir is a veritable urban legend in the Shire, after an incident involving him, Scat2Nite and some women from the local commuity college. The Mole- Named for his mole-like nose, The Mole is a recent addition to the Crew. A Shire resident, The Mole began writing poetry when his girlfriend Rose broke up with him. Johnny Wong found him at an open mic poetry night, and convinced the group to give him a shot. Johnny's claim that he was "really good" was accurate, and he's become a good friend, as well as a regularly appearing member. Chief Bustum Capp- The most mysterious member of the group, "Chief" was discovered by Daddy Shaun at a local hotel, after his girlfriend of seven years left Bustum Capp with nothing more than the shoes on his feet. Shaun immediately began working on demos for a Bustum Capp album, which turned into a full-time position in the Shire Crew. A very quiet, personal man, Chief is a strong supporter of environmental causes. Jamaican Jimbo- The man who keeps the crew together. Jimbo gave many members their first taste of Reggae, and always serves as a songwriter and aid in the Shire Crew's path. A strongly opinioned man, and a close friend. Frodo- A master MC, Frodo has owned the microphone as far back as the original version of "Pizza Rap". Taking his name from the classic Lord of the Rings Character, Frodo was a founding member of the crew who has been absent from recording for the last few Shire albums. He returned to the recording world as producer of Daddy Shaun's solo album. Frodo's hobbies include street racing, he's a cook, and he collects rare watches. Scat2Nite- Now a part-time member of the Crew, Scat2Nite has been behind the Shire Crew turntables for years. As soon as new lyrics begin being tossed around, the crew passes 'em on to Scat. Scat2Nite is currently living in Portland, excluding him from the Shire Crew's numerous live shows, but he still remains a vital part of the group, and the piece of its history. Roby G- THRILLED IN ACTION!
