Forever The Artist von J Shiltz

 

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.

The Latest featuring Rel McCoy by J Shiltz

 

Alive and well from the underground, Sauga City's Master of Ceremonies J Shiltz returns with "The Latest" - the first single from his new album, "Forever The Artist," produced entirely by Charisma of legendary Scarborough hip-hop collective Monolith. "The Latest" features Charisma's instantly appealing production and Shiltz's precise lyricism, tied together by a Rel McCoy chorus that will have you wondering how it's possible for Rel's trademark soulful vocals to blend so seamlessly with this absolute heater of a track (rest assured, Rel pulls it off without a hitch, even managing to squeeze in a few bars himself). After years of independent releases, Shiltz has finally found a place to hang his proverbial hat at the iconic URBNET Records (which celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2024), and he sounds right at home with the label's backing. Stay tuned for more new music from J Shiltz leading up to the release of "Forever The Artist," due in the summer of 2024.
