Back in the January of 2007 we got word of a talented new artist from the Bay Area. Rarely do you get the chance to see an artist come out out of the blue with a well polished debut album that instantly starts gathering a momentum and fan base; back in 2007 that is exactly what Shame did.
Bay Area artist Shame’s debut album California was released online for free download and quickly caught our attention. 19 tracks of real talk, all but one produced by Shame himself, enabled Shame to showcase his ability and pleased those that wanted a break from the then buzzing Hyphy scene.
Although the influence of the Bay Area’s then current sound is unmistakably noticable in Shame’s music, his deep lyrics and sharp delivery created a fresh, unique sound.
If you missed California, which featured an appearance from XL Middleton, when we released it back in 2007 then ensure you get it today via the newly created fixed page for the project below.
