Eleven years ago, a young, uncertain version of myself was given a chance with Def Jam Recordings. I released my first project under their banner, Shyne Coldchain Vol 2, a year later. I wasn't sure what to expect from the world of music, but I was acutely aware of what I needed: a change in my environment and a clear understanding of myself. Ten years and seven projects later, I found that clarity. Now, I'm sharing with you my latest Def Jam release, Dark Times. 5.24.24
