Shyheim the Rugged Child: The Journey of a Wu-tang Affiliate | SWAY'S UNIVERSE

[@q-dawwg626]

Growing up in Staten Island and being from Parkhill and having to go to IS 49 in Stapleton and watching Shyheim in school rhyming and telling EVERYONE he's going to make it.... and he did. So dope at 14 yrs old far beyond his years. Still listening to his music to this day. His 2nd album Lost Generation was a classic to me personally. Shy was dope and still dope

[@b.e.5194]

Shyheim was a big inspiration being from staten island. Was a good time for the island.

[@survivalmode7032]

[@ethershakur4768]

You better believe it

[@mikerap240]

I grew up on shyheim, and I could always feel the pain in his lyrics. Being in jail with his pops talking about how they"hugged with our eyes" lyrics hit deep. Wise one since an adolescent. Peace God

[@philipmeyer8801]

"On n on Shy"....on n on !! That joint was fire. Stayed on repeat

[@philipmeyer8801]

Shyheim Droppin science n jewels

[@91Definite]

“Pardon the Noise” that song was epic 💯

[@di-shawniesmall6036]

I love that song true hip hop never dies

[@AzAkh60]

His first two albums were real underrated. At such a young age was better than quite a lot of older rappers.

[@DateMike22]

Shyheim was so damn nice back in the day. I was 7 when AKA The Rugged Child dropped. That album was mad underrated. I'm glad to see Shy still doing his thang and bringin' awareness to mental health issues. Salute brutha ✊🏼.

[@ethershakur4768]

He still nice

[@antronjohn]

This probably the best induction from sway. This my top five induction. Much Respect Shyheim

[@ethershakur4768]

[@bxboro4662]

Shyheim was the voice of my generation. Young shorties growing up in the hood around grown men.

Shyhiem was the connection between the Wu-Tang Clan and Gladiator Posse Wu-Tang

[@doseofreality420marianetti2]

Mook and Protect Ya Neck Records have been doing s student showcase but they have a bunch of wack Mumble rappers, trappers and drill rappers, all music that has nothing to do with Wu-Tang

[@jamaal8786]

[@themercyshow1418]

Shyheim definitely a legend @sway what’s good get king just from shoalin up there too. He is a legend too from them times let’s give them flowers out broski. 💯💯🫡💨

[@erwinrogers9470]

Great interview

[@doseofreality420marianetti2]

Shyhiem is right, rza and the show doing this competition should have been just Staten Island rappers. Or rappers actually affiliated with the Wu. I mean there's a lot of people that have not only made music with the Wu but rep it to the fullest who might not officially be signed or co-signed by Deck or Popa Wu. Like the one chic Nefertiti, she was making music with Killah Priest so someone like her deserved to be in the competition

[@braikingboss9137]

Furious anger 🔥🔥🔥

[@rondelllee8936]

How did I miss this ???

[@titomorales4066]

Lots of blessings to you shyheim so you could bless other ❤

[@zoomanx9661]

Welcome back Shyhiem

[@---l---]
