Mixing melody, story telling and lyricism into arrogant "shit talking", Sham1016 is making his ranks to be the next to watch out of South Central. The Inglewood born, South Central bred rapper is establishing his self amongst the top class of artists from Los Angeles with a distinct voice, delivery, and taste for expensive fashion. While maintaining a degree of mystique, Sham1016's charisma makes its way to the forefront with every song and feature. Attaching the numbers, 1016, of his grandmother's 90th street apartment as a sign of humility, Sham1016 doesn't forget where he comes from. Rising from the harsh realities of his Vermont Avenue South Central home, in the form of losing his early inspirations due to the streets, prison and gang banging Sham1016 is set on making his own path through music.
