Artist Spotlight: Shaun Wiah
Shaun Anthony Wiah (pronounced wee-uh) better known by his stage name "Shaun Wiah," was born on May 27, 1993 in Philadelphia, PA. At the age of 6, Shaun’s single mother moved him and his two older siblings to Winston-Salem, NC for a new way of life. While living in Cleveland Avenue Projects, Shaun's love for hip-hop was cultivated from his bedroom window by listening to people free-styling and forming intense cyphers. Shaun performed his first rhyme at a Winston-Salem State University basketball game during half time at 9 years old. The roaring response he received from the crowd marked his potential for fame.
In 2006, after rapping for local artist, Moneybagz Murdah, at a barbershop, Shaun landed a recording session with (two time NC Music Award winning artist and producer) Ricky Ruckus at Southside Studios within 24 hours. Soon after, he became affiliated with Gutta Gang/AOG Entertainment. Shaun formed a young music powerhouse group called “Yung N Reck” comprised of his talented friends, including highly anticipated artist Lito Bandz. The crew teamed up with local producer/engineer Blazahe and recorded a mixtape entitled "2 Kool 4 Skool" which Shaun co-wrote and executively produced. Except for a few singles, the compilation was never released due to distribution conflicts. After lack of group effort, Shaun decided to focus on his solo career and his education.
Soon after, Shaun graduated “Class of 2011” from Mount Tabor High School. Not willing to trade creative freedom for local production companies’ or independent labels’ expensive perks, Shaun chose to fund and to navigate his own music career. He is currently preparing for his official release, after which he will become a major force in the music industry. The artist formally known as "Shaun Wizz" plans to catapult his career in the year 2012 with clever lines and witty flows that are sure to be unforgettable. Look for rapper "Shaun Wiah" to soon become one of the biggest names in the game and to hold the title "Leader of the New School."

Nike Air Yeezy 2 – New Purple Colorway
The purple colorway seen here seems a little bit unexpected and therefore we can also not confirm at this point if it is real. We have to say though that it looks very real in terms of materials and quality, at least what you can tell from the images. Also we like the idea of a dust bag coming with the sneakers. In terms of colors these definitely seem to have been inspired a little bit by Kobe’s footwear.
The Nike Air Yeezy 2 should release in the next month, only then we can confirm if these are part of the drop or not.
