Sha Stimuli – My Soul to Keep (Digital Remaster)

Brooklyn’s own Sha Stimuli stands as one of New York’s most gifted lyricists, a wordsmith whose depth and authenticity set him apart in the crowded landscape of Hip-Hop. Originally signed to Virgin Records, Sha was poised for a major debut. However, rather than fall victim to industry politics, he chose to take control of his artistic vision, forging a path on his own terms.

Originally released in 2008 on Chambermusik Records, Sha’s critically acclaimed debut album My Soul to Keep returns, now digitally remastered to bring out every nuanced bar and beat with enhanced clarity. Widely regarded as a Hip-Hop classic, this project features hard-hitting collaborations with Freeway, Young Chris, and Torae, while production credits boast an all-star lineup, including the legendary Just Blaze, Lord Digga, Chopz, J. Cardim, DJ Victorious, and G-Clef da Mad Komposa.

This definitive edition highlights Sha Stimuli’s unparalleled lyricism and storytelling, making it a must-have for longtime fans and new listeners alike. My Soul to Keep remains a timeless reflection of Sha’s journey, standing tall as a true testament to the power of independence and artistic integrity in Hip-Hop. The 2024 digitally remastered release maintains the spirit of the original 2008 release while offering a fresh, polished listening experience.
