| Additional Information |
"He's a great poet, great writer, great performance artist... Shihan's the shit!" - Russell Simmons
"Everybody knows how Shihan gets down... People should definitely listen up!... I like his style - he reminds me a little bit of me." - Mos Def
Poet / Hip-hop artist extraordinaire Shihan has been featured on multiple episodes of HBO's Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry and also serves as Talent Coordinator for the show. He was recently featured at the HBO Comedy Arts Festival, The Essense Music Festival (in which he opened for Alicia Keys) and the Soul Beach Music Festival (in which he opened for Musiq Soulchild.) Shihan has been co-hosting Da' Poetry Lounge, the nation's largest open mic in Hollywood for the past 7 years and is currently touring as a cast member in the Def Poetry Jam 3.0 International Tour. This very busy man is also the official producer of Word Fest at the next Pan African Film Festival (the world's largest and most prestigious black film festival), and is currently working with rap legend KRS-One on soon-to-be-released tracks.
Groove Gravy Records is proud to present Shihan?s official commercial debut "The Poet." The album consists of material recorded over the past 3 years. 15 tracks moving from traditional hip-hop to acapela poetry, with 4 brand new gems, produced by Jazzelicious, including a collaboration with legendary electronica chameleon Ursula Rucker. His ability to transcend cultural and generational boundaries has made Shihan a unique lyrical talent. It's hip-hop the way only a few can deliver - intelligent, free flowing, funky as can be, and with plenty of substance and style.
