Sauga City-raised and Toronto-based hip-hop artist J Shiltz releases his new album, "Forever The Artist," via URBNET Records. After over 15 years of independent releases, this is J Shiltz's first label-backed album. Produced entirely by Charisma aka Skizzz of the legendary Scarborough hip-hop crew Monolith, the album combines contemporary sounds with a golden era influence. Even with a heavy boom bap influence, Charisma's production versatility allows J Shiltz to explore a range of themes, from braggadocious highs to neurotic lows, and sentimental reflections while putting unique lyrical style on full display.
"Forever The Artist" features cuts with longtime friends and collaborators such as Dan-e-o, Rel McCoy, Stonam (formerly Royce Birth and one half of The Outsiders with J Shiltz), and Sum-01, while ZForbes, Notlam, Pam Levi, and Estella Joan Angel provide harmonies and hooks. MadeByAbra's signature claymation artwork accompanies the album, singles, and a limited edition vinyl available exclusively at www.URBNET.com
In J Shiltz's words: "Dope beats and dope rhymes - that’s always been the mission" and with "Forever The Artist" the mission is accomplished.
