Dubcnn linked up with industry veteran Stan Sheppard, who most of you should recognize as DJ Quik‘s former manager with his Sheppard Lane label. However, there might be a lot that you don’t know about Stan Sheppard yet!
In this exclusive interview, he tells us about his 35 years in the music industry, starting off with the Jackson Family and Motown, to later making the transition over to Rap Music, through DJ Battlecat and DJ Quik. He tells us about his time with Quik, what went wrong, and where he would have liked to take Quik’s career if things had worked out.
Throughout the years, Stan Sheppard has collected over 10 Platinum and Gold plaques and is still hungry for more. He’s formed a new label called Peaceful/Tonestruck Ent and is currently working on two big projects: “Bangin’: Pain, Pride & Destruction“, which will raise funds for the Unity One foundation, and the “Dr. Martin Luther King Duets Album”, for which he got the legendary Sly Stone to come out of retirement and record a new song with Snoop Dogg. Stan Sheppard is also putting out Battlecat’s upcoming album, as well as ‘Cat’s artist Glocc Sinatra.
