Shaka J was born with a thirst for creativity and a way with words. At age 17, he and collaborator, KG, formed the Kash Boys and burst onto the Australian hip-hop scene to rave reviews. Through his work in the Kash Boys, Shaka J has opened for internationally renowned hip-hop/R&B acts. After some time away from the industry, Shaka made a triumphant return in 2019, when he released his first solo album, Ragged Saint. Shaka has remained very active since dropping Ragged Saint, and continues to build upon his impressive catalogue. Shaka J is passionate about lyrical content and technical dexterity. He possesses the ability to produce heart-wrenching tracks grounded in real-life experiences, right next to boastful, ‘punch-line rap’ over bass-drenched beats. At the core remains an appetite for delivering a powerful message to the listener. With years worth of performance experience and unmatched lyrical prowess, Shaka J is set to remain a constant in the hip-hop scene in Canberra, and more broadly, Australia.
