Songwriter, Producer, Artist, Shysti has been creating and producing music for years. After co-producing and featuring on the song Latin Kings by the pioneer of Latin/Chicano Rap, Kid Frost, Shysti went on to produce and feature on songs and albums with many Chicano Rap, Urban Latino artists. Shysti is also the founder and organizer of Latin Rap Conference and Latin Rhythm Conference. His debut album, Border Music, was released in 2002 and was only recently re-released for digital platforms in 2020. Border Music is a Chicano Rap love letter to South San Diego, where Shysti learned Chicano activism and pride, as well as the street lessons of gangs and drug wars. The album pays homage to all the facets of life on the border, with poetry and harsh realism. The song Traffico, purposely spelled this way, tells of the drug trade and all the different cities and towns that are connected through contraband. As tribute to the Chicano icon, the song Hermano Cesar recounts the accomplishments of Cesar Chavez and No U Don't playfully uses names of characters from the Mexican card game Loteria to tell a story. In 2006, Shysti recorded the album The Traffic, but it was never released. A few songs were used on different compilation projects and featured in films and TV shows. Basketball Wives, for instance, frequently used the songs Move, Lil Mama, and Rock Wit Me. In 2020, Shysti finally released that lost album.
