Shast

Independent Underground West Coast Hip Hop!! Shast is resident alien to the city of Seattle in the state of emergency, I meant the state of Washington (not D.C., for you geopgraphical experts out there!) I have a three year old baby boy wich is typically the reason that I can get up every morning. He is my life right now, quickly becoming a part of this music thing we call Hip Hop. Generation Next Yall! Hey G! Other then that I am constantly in the Fallout Shelter creating new music. Like most artists I have been a hermit for the duration of that time period. But that is all about to change with my debut album release "THINKIN' CHAIR" through Fallout Shelter Procutions coming soon, and upcoming shows with several other independent artists like myself such as The Thurd III, The Movement, Elite One, and SuNspot Jonz, Eligh, and Aesop from the Living Legends. Peace to the 209/206, surrounding areas, and the whole west coast. LOOK OUT FOR SHASTS NEW DEBUT FULL LENGTH LP "SHAST -4- PREZ!" TO BE RELEASED THROUGH FALLOUT SHELTER PRODUCTIONS EARLY 2005!! ############# :Collaborations: ############# I am always looking for new artists/producers to work with, typically in the West Coast region, if you like what you hear, whether its beats or lyrics and would like to try to form any sort of collaboration or if you have no means of gettin your lyrics pressed to beats and mastered and would like Fallout Shelter Productions to possibly produce you or your crew, Email me at shastfospros@earthlink.net or click on the link at the bottom of my page where it says email this artist to arrange an introductory production meeting. -Shast- -Fallout Shelter Productions 2005-

Fallout Shelter Productions is typically only two people, Shast(myself,emcee/producer) and Jake Ruse(the homie,emcee/producer). Technically started back in 97-98, but we will call it 2002. Fallout Shelter was started from scratch, I used Kazaa to download the demo versions of thousands of dollars of software, then I used a password/serial cracker to turn them into the full versions, hence saving so far about two grand in pro audio alone. Now the Fallout Shelter is growing at an unstoppable rate. After literally years of building, beats, lyrics, ideas, artwork, etc. Now in late 2004/early 2005 Shast is ready to release his full length debut album "Shast -4- Prez!" thru Fallout Shelter Productions in early 2005. LOOK FOR IT!!!

I dont have any special moments/things happen yet I guess, but one is coming up, I managed to get the chance to perform with a few members of the Living Legends, thats gunna be in early 2005 and should be dope.
