SHELLSHOCK!!!
Baton Rouge native rapper Shell Shock began his musical journey while attending high school. Reading music, playing instruments, and blending sound became a second nature to this former drum major. During his five year tour in the U.S. military after graduating, he served in two operations: Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, hence the artist name “Shell Shock†emerged.
Born Victor Jerome Ennis, this artist takes great pride in his knowledge of the streets and his ability to overcome the pitfalls of the thug life. Influences of the streets were combated by the strong spiritual upbringing from his family. His struggle to find a common ground led him to the studio.
He has been recording since 2004, yet mounting lyrical content for a lifetime. Outside the recording booth, Shell Shock stays actively involved in the music business by assisting in the production of his own music and local artists in the Dayton Ohio area. He has also opened for shows featuring Juvenile, Uptown Project Records, Young Joc and performed for Source Magazines’ “Unsigned Hype Tourâ€. He has gained recognition for his rousing MC skills as an official hype man for Worldwide CoreDJs’ DJ Skno and the State-famous DJ Opzzy. His music has been featured on the widely-viewed Trill Promotions website as well as being featured on Mr. Hanky presents..."Training Day".
The raw and real lyrics that he spits capture the melting pot of crime, drugs, alcohol, women, family, self-improvement, and spirituality. The connection between them all produces a musical crash he eloquently presents to his listeners.
Shell Shock is not a rapper who will soon be forgotten. His passion for music and drive for success lays the ground work for his continuous progression in the entertainment industry.
