City Shawn

December 19, 2016
San Jose’s very own @CityShawn has been making waves for several years now with quality projects one after another. His lead single, “Let’s Go” produced by @BxxGvtti hits #1 this week. The track is the perfect hustler’s anthem, and simultaneously motivates and entertains us as City knows how to do. Check out the record and music video below, which is directed by Tyler Acosta.

City Shawn may be a new name to some, but he is the hip-hop champion of the South Bay. Having released a handful of projects over the last two years, Shawn has been steadily building an organic following. With the release of his recent Merry Thanksgiving EP, he is putting more of himself and his life out there.
Today, City Shawn is releasing a new visual for his lead single from the Merry Thanksgiving EP entitled "Let's Go".

"Let's Go", produced by Boo Gatti, is an anthem for those on their grind. The Tyler Acosta directed crisp visual shows Shawn in various areas of his hometown of San Jose. In discussing "Let's Go", Shawn shared,
My message behind "Let's Go" is really just to go and create opportunity and don't depend on anybody to better your situation but yourself.

City Shawn IS San Jose.

Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely folks out the 408 who get busy… but City got the city on his back pretty much unanimously. No small feat when you consider San Jo is one of the biggest cities in all of California.

Why is City the premier act out the Southbay? In part it’s due to versatility. He’s got cuts for the hip hop heads, blaps for the streets, and the one time he dabbled in a Mustard-esque sound on some fluke shyt, it was pure flames (“Outta There“). Where Shawn really shines tho is his voice. Bruh is blessed with a national mic voice and by extension, a presence that commands records from start to finish. Big Dawg City can just straight-forward tell it how it is without havin to hitchu wit like 9 metaphors to get 1 idea across. It’s a trait that has garnered him Dom Kennedy comparisons on more than a few occasions. To top it all off, City is armed with a secret weapon in San Jose based producer Cisco, who may or may not be one of the most slept on producers in the Bay Area.

“Forever 2” is City’s recent project effort, 10 tracks in length and boasting features from the like of Mozzy, Rexx Life Raj, Show Banga, Chippass, and G Maly. Standout tracks include “Money Don’t Sleep“, the dab friendly “Drug Money“, “Keep Goin“, “You Already Know“, “FIU“, and “Gawd Like“.

With CoSigns from lifestyle brand Breezy Excursion, tastemaker collective Young California, and blogs like HotNewHipHop, DJBooth, and yours truly at Free Bread, City Shawn is certainly a Bay Area talent to keep your eye on. - FreeBread International

City Shawn has released his latest project, Forever 2. The San Jose native has become known for dropping multiple dope projects per year, and this year is no exception as he already released Smoker No Joker earlier this year, now he hits us with more flame. He taps one of Cali’s biggest street artist, Mozzy for the intro on the project, which also features Show Banga, Chipass (of NHT Boyz), G Maly & Rexx Life Raj. The project also boasts production from Cardo, Vybe and City’s go-to-guy, Cisco aka Cortez, who continues to be one of the Bay’s best under-the-radar producers. Check out the project which you can stream above, and support on iTunes. - StrongArm
