Wooooo, Esso went in! He decided to rap over Wale‘s Pretty Girls but he uh, murdered it we can say! In my opinion it’s… Esso > Wale on this song. Pretty Girl is off Esso’s next project, The Anti-Socialite.

Shaun Boothe is hip-hop in 3D

Shaun brings the 3rd dimension back to what has to long been 1 dimensional rap music.

In a rap world of super-gangsters and pimps, preachers and revolutionaries, Shaun¹s music is alien. Running the range of social commentary through to ballads about phone sex there is multiple dimensions
to his artistry.

Discontent with the current state of what he sees as ³1 dimensional² rap music, Shaun Boothe always brings the 3rd dimension out. When attacking a concept/subject he shows all the angles.

They often say there are 3 sides to the story; one side, the other side and the truth. Shaun is an artist whose music speaks to that 3rd angle, the one that encompasses the two, the dimension often overlooked in a rap world of
gangsters and preachers, the truth.

Shaun is the real world. His music encompasses hope and fame as well as honest heartache and pain.

He has a certain raw vulnerability in his music while still maintaining a strong degree of hip-hop culture¹s superman complex.

Download Shaun Boothe’s new single entitled “Poor Boy” below!
