Scottish Rapper Shogun Tells his story

[@Bluesea1690]

Boy is very down to earth hope he goes far. Looks like he hasnt forgot where hes came from. All the best in the future

[@Captainraskett1989]

I'm from England, deepest Dorset and I've been listening to shogun since vulcan, only shogun fans will know what that is, I understand him word for word one talented young man 👌🏻🙏 top lyricist 🤙🏻

[@Simon-ir1xj]

What a moment that was, legendary.

[@vDLNOnConsole]

vulcan has to be one of the hardest tunes i have ever heard, glad to see hes back on the straight and narrow, his times due to come.

@Davieboymwell Jawz he could change it to "Here we fuckin go"

[@mramcmahonmaths]

As a teacher, I love how he mixes between his youthful scheme chat and with his intelligence of ‘personification’, ‘irony being the black sheep as only white artist’ etc when explaining himself. Clever boy hidden behind his scheme bravado. ‘Heavy!’

[@ryanelewis1379]

Correct, he is got some intelligence

[@rjflores438]

This guy is a very talented rapper,Listening to Vulcan alone you can tell he is a talented spitter. he’s only 23 and will evolve as an artist. He will be the first Scottish rapper to break properly in the uk scene, first only artists in London were taken seriously, then rappers from manny like bugzy, aitch and meekz came through now you’ve got rappers from Birmingham like most, jaykae and millionz coming through, there always has to be one guy to break down the doors for other rappers from their neck of the woods!

[@deeray4637]

Bro, Birmingham man came through way before the Manchester guys. Jaykae was around like 10 odd years ago

[@dogsearth1246]

One of the best lyricists in the world, so much respect to this young man and what he's done for the music scene here. All sorts of respect to you Shogun, you'll make it massive one day mate

[@dogsearth1246]

@OFN-1989 mate listen to his tunes with an open mind, read lyrics where you can if you can't understand- Vulcan on its own is a piece of lyrical ingenuity and lyrically is one of the best pieces of rap music to come from the UK.

[@dogsearth1246]

There aren't many out there but there's a lyrical video for Vulcan here which gets a good portion of the lyrics correct (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqm7YYiui9Wjj68) and there are some lyrics in the comments of his twelve 50 freestyles, the word play, symbolism and metaphor is ridiculous

[@mcnoface8000]

Mmm possibly or it could be the other way round would he be as famous as hi is if he was from England

[@georgecroney6168]

It's cause he's so lyrical the vast majority of people haven't got a clue what has on about. Always has been the plight of lyrical rappers. To an average rap fan someone lyrical is like you sitting in a uni lecture for aeronautical engineering or something you've probably never even heard half of the words they're using you'd just walk out and never go back.

Shogun needs to promote his KZbin channel. 1000 subscribers and 4000 views are all it takes to start monetising his uploads, so he can earn from his music in the pandemic.

It's 30k subscribers before you can make any money

[@thoomer3880]

The only advice I would have is to do some hollywooding to further your career. It's all good keeping it real for the troops, but when it comes down to it, agents, labels, and the money people in general, need things to be a certain way for them to get behind someone. Look at Gucci Mane, went to jail, came out a different man, more mature and business-minded, now he gets all the sponsorships etc he wouldn't have before, because he's backable, dependable ( I know you said at the start you have been working towards this mindset anyway). I hope you start getting some good money and doing what you love on a higher level soon my man

im british and when i first heard scottish grime, shogun - vulcan the first time it was hard to understand but sounded fucking sick. then after so many times of listening to the track u ur ears start to adjust and be able to understand words and what hes saying. so for them to say slow down is a wrong thing when if u know that ur a professional listener u would know.
