Shames, born James Dennis Caswell has entered the building!!!! Born in Quincy Mass, October 27th 1977 this Boston Native's music is no less than a product of his environment in other words the story of his life!!! Growing up around music had given him an outlet to escape the many hardships in his and his family's life!!!! There had been a constant battle between being abused and abusing himself but Shames was able to find his peace in music!!! In 1986 Shames heard the Fat boys for the first time and it took him by storm Curtis Blow was soon to follow along with the Beastie Boys, and Eric B and Rakim, the list went on and on untill in 1989 he decided to write his first rhyme!!!! But being white and rhyming at the time didn't exactly mix so he heard claims of trying to be black or to stick to country and metal what us white people listen too!!!! But that only strived him to work harder knowing that he had to bring twice the skill that someone normally would in order to get noticed and being proud of his Irish heritage it wasn't to hard to convince people that he wasn't trying to be black!!! Still the chance of acceptance was as good as none untill in 1991 Shames moved to Germany and the tables had turned, where he lived no one really had an idea what hiphop was but at the same time they were amazed by it so Shames' built skill had people freaked out and a year after that House of Pain came out making it alot easier for white people to get noticed!!! He started to make a name for himself and hooked up with an artist named Rush aka Reef Liquid to become a part of a crew named Ideal Idea, not long after Shames joined the crew Ideal Idea split up, which than brought him to a Heavy Metal crew he joined called Mental Ground Zero!!!! In 1994 preforming at a Metal jam Organized by a Crew named Resistance is Futile he met AD Booze from that same crew and would go on to form Lethally Boozed which from 1996 to 2002 hit Wiesbaden like Muhammed Ali along with Chillatwill which both Shames and AD Booze joined in 2001!!!! Lethally Boozed was known for it's hard, abstract, and lethal drunken lyrics!!!! Shames had colabs with Nominee(Chillatwill the Con), Niggamaya(Chillatwill the Con), Blabbwona(CCCore Tryflyn), Calvary Crew, Straight (Amniesia CrewFFM), Haage Kanaage, Eloquent(Polare Dichtung), Krispy Kris, MaroOne(VOT), Brahim(VOT), VOT and Separate(who was a sell out)!! Shames has along with the Chillatwill Crew opened up for acts such as J-Live, Masta Ace, Curse top known German Hiphop artist, Square One and Tryflyn!!!! Unfortunately Lethally Boozed split and Shames and Ad had a Fall out but fortunately at the same time Shames found Islam Alhamdoulillah and met his Brother from another Mother MaroOne one of Wiesbadens best producers!!!!! Shames than continued to write, record, and flow in a way that inspiried other MC's due to his personal, lyrical, political and religous lyrics and versitile flows Inshallah there will be more to come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PEACE SHAMES
