Shah

Shah is a Paterson, New Jersey native.   Born Shaheem Brown, everyone better knows him as Shah which is short for his first name Shaheem which means intelligent. Shah grew up in the drug infested heroin capital on the east coast also known as Paterson. Despite his environment Shahs' upbringing was what you would call Hood Rich! Shahs' father was a hood legend in football and his mother was a hood legend and big time drug dealer. Not only did his parent keep him in the best of private education, they also always kept him draped in the latest fashion and expensive jewelry! At the age of seven Shahs' father was gunned down and shot 14 times, an act of drug violence. Feeling alone and abandoned he grew an infinity for writing music. Songwriting was his first passion giving him an outlet to express himself. Throughout the years Shah put his talent or producing, songwriting and rapping to the backseat for the role of managing artist. After years helping cultivating others craft , his business partner and best friend Terrence Thomas persistently encouraged Shah to pursue his own music career!  Shahs' first attempt at rapping he creates the hit single ' Not A Rapper ' which is a catchy synopsis of his experiences and who is his as an Artist!
