Canada is in the spotlight right now with the likes of Drake leading the way along with The Weeknd but when you shift the illumination just a bit, you have the likes of ShaqIsDope. SID is looking to continue building his name and build a resume of his own that will garner him the notoriety he wants and deserves. If you are unfamiliar with the Toronto native, he has a project already under his belt in ‘Early Beginning: The Shaquille Baptiste Story’. Following up his breakout mixtape, Shaq is back with his long awaited ‘Black Frames’ project which is 12 songs in length; perfect for those who have a short attention span like myself. Leading up to the new body of work, SID unleashed a few tracks to warm up his fans and the casual listener with; ‘Stay Focused‘, ‘Innocent Youth‘, ‘Still Open‘ and of course ‘Black Frames’ & ‘The Weapon’. Each song presenting us with who SID really is as a man who is trying to maintain his moral integrity in a world full of temptation.
