"Breath Of Fresh Air", "Perseverance", "Determination", "Poetic". There are many catch phrases and adjectives that can be used to describe Shadcore. His voice alone demands respect. It is deep, powerful and most of all confident. Not one to follow the status quo or replicate someone else's formula, Shadcore has always stood apart from the rest. The first thing that gets most people's attention when they hear his music is the absence of profanity. He is a firm believer in Jesus Christ and he feels that artists should be more responsible when it comes to the foul language that kids are subject to hearing on these records.
He onced entered a rap contest for a $100 grand prize. He said he needed the money to pay his light bill so he signed up on that premise. In his freestyle he rapped, "I came out here to get yall crazy hyped...because my son needs pampers and baby wipes!!" The crowd went bananas and out of 32 emcees, Shadcore won the money and did just what he said he was going to do with the money; he paid the light bill and bought pampers and wipes!
A year later he entered another rap contest. This time the grand prize was a brand new car. Contestants were to submit a 45 second jingle about a Kia "Rio" and the winner would walk (or should I say drive) away with a brand new Kia. Well out of thousands of entrants guess who drove off the lot with the new car? You guessed it, SHADCORE!!!!!
Since then he has gone on to become the runner-up in VH1's Freestyle59 competition in 2005 and he was a Top 5 Finalist the following year in the same competition. Shadcore is a, "... family man pushing a family van" as he so eloquently puts it. Happily married for 9 years and the father of three he says a full-time career doing music and writing would just be the icing on the cake. And he doesn't plan to stop flowing anytime soon.
Today is Tuesday, July 21, 2009 and the time has come. I am working on a complete album that will be released this year called "From The Throne".

...and im still here... but now im sicker than ever... blade from the dark gettin bigger and better... while they bailin out the rap game, I still remain... so when its all over, my name still reigns... supreme from the east coast straight to the west... you rappers all garbage im the only one left... yaint goin nowhere, never was never will... like E.P.M.D. in eighty-eight, man you gots to chill... S.H.A.D.C.O.R.E. said it best, its in my system... guilty to the fullest while your still just a victim... my pens ink sinks deep, to deep for you to reach... test me and theyll find you on a far away beach, in a far away sleep... its still King you betta get it mai... still ridin Caddys and im still writin hitters mai... tell the truth what you doin really... nothin not a damn thang... you caint really do it... stop frontin like you can mai... im a Rottweiler dog im a Lion im a nightmare... B.R.U.T.A.L. all my life while you caint spend the night there... your just another episode lost in the keys... I wrote these words for more than emcees... and I wrote these words for more than just friends... there in the beginning but gone at the end... and the end will come for me and you too... if you never knew nothing just know its so true... its more than just words... more than just songs... more than just thoughts... real for so long...
S.H.A.D.C.O.R.E., Atlanta is waiting patient for your arrival. I caint wait to see you mai. Makes me think:
Its dangerous, how deep the game is... Not made for, with sticky fingers in a winters cold... Southside wanted to make em bounce, so did I... Until I found out there was traitors and they told the lie... To my heart, to my mind, to my soul and child... I dont wanna get piece no more, I want the whole pie... Since the year two thousand and three... Ive been a stranger in the dark and you dont wanna start with me... The funk is filled with blunts and with bags of weed... Just to slow you down, while I in-crease the speed... They only wanna see us all, dead and gone... While strong keeps it movin, on and on... But what about the weak ones, they very weak ones... The every other weak funds, never deep ones... They be the ones out there you unaware of... They be the ones out there that wanna share love... That I dont wanna share no more... Got the picture off the album, I dont care no more... Its all about K.I.N.G. and S.H.A.D.C.O.R.E and all the stories thats told... And what we livin like at the end of the road... I pray to you God that you will watch our backs... But theres somethin on the track, thats making me act... You want none of my react, read these words real slow... Theres something in your mailbox thats ready to blow... Go through your window at night with the mask on, turn your gas on... Nah its just another rap song... Never more ass wrong... Never gonna last long... Never shoulda made it this far, get your ass gone...
