Shakespeare

by
Andy
Peloquin

While
he
may
not
be
as
widely
known
as
the
British
author
with
whom
he
shares
a
name,
the
 Brooklyn‐born
hip
hop
singer,
song
writer,
and
M.C.
is
a
rising
star
to
keep
an
eye
on.
New
York
 is
known
for
producing
greats,
and
The
Incomparable
Shakespeare
is
no
exception!
 Born
and
raised
in
the
Big
Apple,
this
young
artist
has
music
in
his
blood.
From
a
young
age,
he
 spent
hours
listening
to
music,
singing
tunes
on
the
street,
and
creating
complicated
lyrics
in
his
 head.
While
he
penned
his
first
album
years
later,
Shakespeare
has
been
a
singer
and
 songwriter
in
his
own
right
for
years
now.
 The
young
rapper
brings
a
sincere,
direct
spirit
to
his
music,
and
his
audience
loves
him
for
the
 vulnerability
he
infuses
into
his
music.
His
unique
fashion
sense
makes
him
stand
out
from
the
 crowd,
and
he
has
received
high
praise
for
his
music
and
lyrics
from
journalists
and
music
 critiques
alike.
 He
has
been
called
"Mozart
meets
Humphrey
Bogart
meets
Slick
Rick",
and
his
smooth
rhymes
 and
hit
singles
have
put
him
on
the
verge
of
breaking
into
the
big
leagues.
He
has
gained
 recognition
from
national
and
international
companies,
with
greats
like
Rick
Ross,
Pill,
and
Wale
 applauding
his
talent.
 His
appearance
on
RapFix
Live
showed
his
mad
skills
with
freestyle
rhymes,
and
the
crowd
 showed
him
crazy
love
when
his
turn
in
the
rap
 contest
ended.
He
is
featured
in
a
National
Ecko
TV
 campaign,
which
can
be
seen
in
Macy
stores
around
 the
world,
MTV
Sukerfree,
Rapsheet,
and
Complex
 Magazine.
 With
his
mad
skills
and
the
increased
interest
of
 America
in
his
slick
rhymes,
this
young
artist
has
a
 bright
future
ahead
of
him!
