WAITING FOR A GHOST IS HERE!!! ORDER AT www.CHECKOUTWAX.com VINYL or CD... The Story of Waiting For a Ghost the album: After ten years as an independent artist and a promising major label record deal that went sour, New Jersey native Shawn Lov hooked up with Melbourne based label Nuff Said for his 2004 album The Blackout of 1977. He now returns on the same label with the best album of his 15-year career. With an incredibly deft display of lyricism, Shawn Lov has crafted a poignant and personal set of songs that encapsulate his long career as an undaunted underdog. In particular, he discusses the recent death of his cousin and how it has affected him artistically and personally. He is one of rawest, most impassioned rappers in the underground, and although he asks not be compared to the great white hope of hip hop, likening him to Eminem is not a long stretch. With rich, sample heavy production from Melbourne's Prowla, Methodz, Tony D and Fatha Ramzee, Waiting for a Ghost is Shawn Lov's most fully realised album, both lyrically and musically
In 1994, at 16, Shawn Lov released his first album "Speak of the Devil" and ever since has been building a solid fan base through the internet and live shows. Lov made his first national appearance on "Amateur Night at the Apollo" in 1996 where he performed on the same evening as the legendary Big Pun and Ol' Dirty Bastard. Following that success, Shawn Lov graced the stage to showcase his skills on the nationally syndicated "Jenny Jones Show" in 1998. Riding on his underground popularity and prepared to release a new album, Lov hooked up with New Jersey based hip-hop producer Tony D, the producer behind New Jersey based hip-hop acts such as Y-Z and Poor Righteous Teachers who have recorded classics such as "Rock Dis Funky Joint" and "Tower with the Power." Lov's second album "The G.O.D" spawned catchy tracks like "The Lov Dr." which was later worked into a music video and was featured on networks such as Black Entertainment Television. Shawn Lov's following 2 albums proved to be underground classics but his creative flow did not stop there. Lov published his first book "A Brief History of Rhyme and Bass: Growing Up With Hip Hop." Half the true story of the evolution of hip hop and its artists, the other side of the book is a sometimes painfully honest autobiography- life lessons learned the hard way that only true hip hop fans could identify with. Enter the new chapter of Shawn Lov's career. Having joined the NuffSaid team in 2003, the release of "The Blackout of 1977" and with more albums to come, there is no doubt that the true hip-hop community can look forward to classic material that matches the long lost releases of years past.
