Shingie-Lee

Shingie-Lee is by all means an anomaly to the underground rap scene. His appreciation for the genre and eagerness to push it forward through experimentation, is evident throughout his discography. With just a quick listen to some of his self produced abstract beats, mixed with witty and sometimes deeply personal lyrics (Shingie-Lee: Essentials), it's easy to see that Shingie-Lee is the sub genre's poster child.
