D-Shade never had any difficulty bridging the gap between hip hop and punk, playing to audiences on both sides of the fence and repping his sound to the fullest. From the Payin' Rent EP to his new album release ready to drop summer of 2007 with icm records, this mc has built a solid reputation for being able to rock the stage anytime, anyplace, for just about anybody. And with just about anybody he's shared stages with Eminem, Gangstarr, EPMD, Beatnuts, KRS One, Common, Pharcyde, Onyx, Ice T, House of Pain, Gravediggaz, Maestro Fresh Wes, Rahzel, Herbaliser, Public Enemy, Schooly D, IAM, Backstreet Boys, Ben Harper, Bad Brains, SNFU, Lagwagon, Strung Out, Good Riddance, Judy Mowatt, Doughboys, Bran Van 3000 and DJ Q-bert. How's that for history?
