Shayde Est.1988

Shayde (pronounced as shade) is a Washington D.C native, born and raised. He is a prolific artist and writes his own lyrics. He aspires to reach minds and to bring out the greatness in others as he defines what he see's going on in the world today. His metaphorical content underlines the facts about race, life, culture and truth in general. Shayde is not like the average artist, he delivers a humble minded in all cases good or bad. He keeps in mind that people aren't always adherent to particular truths when one may not research or do diligence in studying topics such as religion, culture and knowing who and what we are in this world so he brings it to you in an unorthodox musical format. His conscious style relates both to the streets and the geeks. He does his best to bring you the best of both worlds in order to bridge the gap of lyricism and style of today's standard of music. Now just sit back, smoke a blunt, pour up, or if you don't do any of that lay back and listen to his tracks you may be surprised at what you learn. Enjoy
