He originally started doing music as a means to escape from the many trials and turmoil he was going through. Ever since he was a child music has always been a part of his family’s life. He is a byproduct of this family gift. His family heavily influenced his decision to pursue music professionally.

Another fellow artist, Tru was quoted telling him, “They can’t deny you”. He also writes his own songs. He has done shows in Florida, North Carolina, and Georgia since signing with Thorough Entertainment in 2022.

He is fiercely independent and bold. He’s found a way to please both the hip hop crowd and the smooth listening crowd with a much wider audience through his savvy sounds. He admires Tank and Musiq Soulchild. Runs and rifts flow from him like butter. He listens to a lot of Gospel and Worship music. He’s currently working on his album and the songs have a grown and sexy feel.

Tru, Lil Choew, and Lady Hustle are his labelmates. He aspires to one day win Awards for his music. He opened up for Fredo Bang in Jacksonville on April 14th. He has 2 singles out “Gifted” and “Low End Baby” which are both causing a buzz.

Thorough Entertainment’s motto is “We’re not just blessed we’re big blessed 4ever”. Brace yourself for the next up. Get ready for O’reezy.

Copywrite - "I Have Weed About To Drop" (Freestyle) (prod. by Copywrite) (Cuts by DJ Swab)

"I've always been a high tolerance smoker and I've always wanted to create my own perfect strain that did what I wish other strains could. 

Let me introduce you to my own weed strain. It's called "Copywrite78". It's been cultivated by the good folks at steel city home grown out of Canada. I told them I wanted a high power indica that is potent enough to give someone who is prescribed adderall couch lock. That's what we've got. The ultimate "get-you-dumb-high" strain that you don't really have to use too much to get blitzed- unless you like to be dumb high like me. Then roll up and let my strain work. 

I was so happy at the results of the strain (I won't  name the cross strains just yet. I don't want anyone to copy my shit just yet.) that I decided to write a love song to my new favorite strain. I produced the beat for this song also, so this is the most Copywrite song ever when you consider it's by me, produced by me and inspired by my very own strain titled, "Copywrite78". Huge shout out to my man DJ SWAB for killing the cuts on this so with no further ado; Steel City Homegrown in conjunction with the high exalted proudly present in part with Man Bites Dog Records, my love song to my own strain. 

I call it "I have weed about to drop freestyle'' is the actual title. Roll up." - Copywrite

Limited Edition 7 inch Lathe with "I have weed about to drop freestyle" on Side A & Jeah 2 on Side B - 20 copies for-- $20--- 20 - 4- 20 on Man Bites Dog Records Bandcamp.

Truss One-produced single "Regrets", featuring a guest verse from New York emcee The Musalini. (of 9th Wonder's Jamala Records). Today (4/24/2023), on this final week of National Poetry Month, Sh8kes shared the song's official music video via YouTube.

"This poem came from a place of failure, pain and self awareness. I went through so many things during 2022, I began to question if what I was doing was the right thing. I never wanted to give up, but questioned if I needed to switch my focus to something else. I found myself reevaluating the people around me that have been in my life for 20 plus years. It seemed like I gave so much of me, but never got the same in return.” - Sh8kes

Copywrite - Want To Three For (Instrumental)

Veteran Ohio emcee & producer Copywrite, hits us with the latest instrumental "Want To Three For" off his new beat tape "Ya Garbage Kid" out now on Bandcamp via Man Bites Dog Records. Check out his thoughts on the instrumental below. 

"This beat is an ode to one of my favorite beats, groups and producers all in one. Can you guess why? You'll have to because I'm not telling. This beat has a few different parts that hype me up and a few parts that make me laugh for inside reasons. I wonder if the chic moaning will recognize her voice? Doubt it. There are plenty of beats on #YGK that I could have picked for the single to this thing but this had a lot going on and a fun but evil energy which sums me up in a nutshell. So here it is; the second single off of my debut instrumental album called "Ya Garbage Kid". I hope you have as much fun listening to it as I did making it. Of course I was on copious amounts of weed when I was making that so you have an uphill battle. At any rate, Enjoy!" - Copywrite
