Shortlord - „Heavensent“
He is called SHORTLORD and has his album „ HEAVENSENT “ on lockdown.
Shortlord was born as a son of a Kreolin and an US soldier into French Guiana. He came durin
early years to germany and grew up on an Army base near Franfurt. Surrounded by the Gis ,he
made fast experience with rap music. Already with 13 he written his first own texts.
Early the father has left the family and Shortlord spent his childhood only with his mother in scanty
relations.The times were hard and his mother had problems to take this. The result was a bad drug
addiction (Mother) and as a consequence from it, Shortlord found himself at a childrens home.
There he was confronted with racism and many other problems and had to recognice early what
signifies „struggle“,and that one must fight through in life.The home experience stamped him.
He committed criminal offences to deflect himself from his pain, as well as to be able to perform
himself things which seemed for the middle class citizen normal.
Besides, he started to deal with Turntablism, then changed to the dancing and became finally a MC.
Fortunately , he found GOD. With the strenght which the faith gave him he tried to free himself of
his negative surroundings and ended up being musician.
After various small publications, the first bigger result appeared for Shortlord at the age of 18 years.
In 1998 he received a golden record that sold 400,00 times worlwide. In addition (Shortlord:)“ Nana
did not do the music dat appeald to me, but I was young and needed the money.
A high videorotation for the title“The Fight“ helped Shortlord in 2000 with his group The prophets
empire“ to his first charts success in germany. In 2002 Shortlord published an EP called „ Da
crusade“ and in the time from 2002-2006 he appeared on various mixtapes and compilations.
The work on the longplayer „Heavensent“ lasted about 1 year.
„Heavensent“ was produced by himself and is mixture of Hiphop and Carribean elements.
Some songs is socially critical some tune more club type of stuff.
„Ways of mankind“ , „Mother Earth“ and „Dominique“ are Shortlords hit canditates,
There are features of Daddy Freddy (England), Nneka (Nigeria) etc. who gives to the album still a
nice extra taste.
“ HEAVENSENT “ is published on the 1st January, 2007 with CHOSENFEWRECORDS in the
distribution by ROUGHTRADE .
