GOLDEN ERA

Shyne-ing?

How many have heard Total's Joint "Sitting Home" featuring the newest Bad Boy Shyne? If you have then you know what I'm talking about when I say that this cat sounds identical to the late GREAT, Notorious B.I.G. Don't get it twisted, I'm talking about the same throaty voice that made B.I.G. so distinctive from the others. To compare him to the Notorious lyrically would be NUTZ. Personally, I can't wait to hear more of him.
