Poised to be next on the list of Toronto's many hot new musical exports, Shaun Boothe separated himself from the pack with his critically acclaimed Unauthorized Biography Series. Inspired by Nas’ tribute to Rakim, Boothe’s Bio Series videos summerize the lives and legacies of a wide variety of cultural icons in rhyme form. Getting blog love from Kanye west and tweets from Diddy himself, Boothe’s 6th icon to get the biography treatment for his ‘Huster’s Edition’, it’s clear that he’s getting the attention of the right people.

With a small handful of singles floating around the net, the time has finally come for the release of a full body of work.
