Aaron Ebony Glenn McNeal, (Born July 21, 1989), better known by his stage name ShawdyBlak, is a rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, entrepreneur, and Dj. He was born in Denver, Colorado, but spent half his childhood growing up in Cobb County, Georgia. Moving frequently between the states is what molded him into the unique individual he is today, hence, creating his unique "Dirty-West" style. Shawdy was first introduced to his love for music at a young age by his father. Growing up, Shawdy’s only passions were music and football. He idolized and was influenced by people such as Deion Sanders, Outkast, Kanye, Nelly, Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, 2Chainz, Jeezy, T.I., B.O.B.,and Pastor Troy. ShawdyBlak is lyrically known for his versatile “smooth, laid-back”, but at the same time, “crunk and aggressive”,”flavor-filled melodic rhyming”.Some might consider his music "extraordinarily negative”, but it derives from the pain, the struggles, and the trials and tribulations thru-out his life. It is all around "Blunt”, both straightforward and 420 friendly. Shawdy has been an avowed cannabis smoker, and embraces it as one of the trademarks of his image. ShawdyBlak will “tell it like it is”. The controversy in his lyrics will make you think about what’s going on around you… If you can get with Colorado’s Amendment 64 campaign, let Shawdy’s music be your tour guide.
