When you mix rewind-quality lyricism, clever wordplay, diverse content and a little southern seasoning what do you get? The Shaw Shanks provide the answer to that question with their debut CD, “WORDPLAY”, which hit the streets August 9, 2005, and is available for purchase at www.vakseen.com This independent release includes the soulful, harmonic and soon-to-be radio hit “What a Crock!”, and the orchestra-influenced single “Off Glass” which was featured on the Kid Antrim Music Compilation released in 2004. Other highlights include the mixtape smash “Get Hi” and the infectious ode to the ladies “Weak”. The Shaw Shanks sound like no other artist out today, using their individuality and obvious hip hop scholarship to lure in pure hip hop heads, and the average radio listener alike. Just like Outkast, Wu-Tang, and The Roots, they are trend setters in their genre, proving them to be any record label’s dream.
