Hip-hop music was revered as an artistically authentic expression of life, grounded in stories of trial and triumph told through the spoken word. The Camden rapper King Shinobe bridges the gap between old school and new school hip-hop by focusing on what is most meaningful about music. He believes that people should have the freedom to express themselves honestly rather than focus on the superficial aspects of music. Rapping with an East Coast lyrical flow and hypnotic trap sounds from Atlanta are the bases for his work. In his high-energy performances, King Shinobe delivers boundless cinematic vibes and booming rap.
