Shaquan- KING(JeeJuh Contest)

A 12-track album about the unconscious mind of Shaquan who struggles to find who he truly is as a person. As he reaches his highs and lows, he displays his emotions and various moods through complex lyrics and dynamic rhyme schemes.

Album Thank You’s

I would like to begin this list of thank-yous by stating the obvious and thanking God. I thank God for blessing me with talent and gift to make music, my existence, and my safety through the guidance of God. I would also like to state the obvious again by thanking my lovely mother Sandra Adams. Without you pushing me to be successful, I would never had ended up in this position in the first place. Now that the obvious is out of the way, I would definitely like to give a BIG THANKS to Kiara Mudd aka Vitamin K. You were pretty much around through the entire length of the album creation, and I learned a lot from you being around as I made this project. Of course I appreciate the amazing beats that you allowed me to use, but that’s only a tiny fraction of why I appreciated you helping me. I thank you for helping me countless amount of times in production and mixing, and just giving off positive energy whenever you were in the studio. You always provided ideas to me whenever my mind came to a complete stop(which happened many times), and that helped me push through to get this album finished. Your positivity and assistance definitely shaped the outcome of this album, and for that I thank you sincerely. Next I would like to thank my boy Akili for being there throughout this process as well. Whenever you were around to hear my mixes, or engineer my sessions, you always had that unique insight that no one else could give and it was always useful. I was always able to tell if I really wrecked a verse or made a good mixing decision by your initial reactions. I also thank you for helping me out with your harmonies man, that really added another dimension to a couple of tracks on this album. I truly appreciate you wanting me to succeed with this process and being one of the only people to truly understand my vision for this album.  My next thank you definitely has to go to my music tech professor Cesar Alvarez. Over the last three semesters you have helped me transform into a diverse, lyrical, and confident artist. I don’t think that I would have reached this point without taking your classes and having you push me to take control of my career and perfect my craft. You always offered to help me, and your mixing critiques really helped to polish up this album. I thank you not only for making me challenge myself as an artist, but I thank you for not just looking at me as your student… but as a fellow artist that you want to see succeed. I would also like to thank the sick fellow-emcee Notebook for giving me some dope tracks to destroy and giving me a lethal feature on the album as well. It’s always been a pleasure working with you, we gotta keep making shit man. Next I would like to thank the homie Junior for always giving me raw unfiltered feedback no matter what. I truly appreciate you sitting in on some of my mixing sessions and giving me tips on what to add and what to drop out. And a big thank you for telling me that my hook “wasn’t crazy enough” and adding that dope ass harmony  to give it that edge. Next I would like to thank my boy Jordan Milne aka KSG for telling me in the beginning to just do what I felt was right with this project, because at the end of the day, people were gonna feel it. Next I would like to thank Brian Battersby for giving me insight on the album from a different perspective. You really helped me look at my songs from a different angle so that when I do a future project, I will have another way of attacking my songs. I am also very grateful for your guitar portion on my track, you didn’t have to take time out of your album making process to come help me so I appreciate that a lot. This list is getting lengthy, but I’m not done yet so we gonna keep it goin. I can’t do this list without thanking Tori Gandy for giving me advice about everything involving music. If I ever had a question about a mix you were always there to help me out and break things down. I am also very grateful for you getting me to realize how important it’s gonna be to market this album correct me, and you made me realize have to take the right steps to make sure everything goes right. Last but not least I would like to thank my entire CAT 410 class for supporting me and giving me endless amount of ways to polish this album up nicely. I feed off of all you guys energy, seeing how dedicated and focused all of you were to complete albums as well. To anyone I forgot, which I know I had to forget a couple of people, don’t strangle me, shoot me, stab me, or do any other violent act towards me. With that being said, I would like to thank EVERYONE. If you know me, don’t know me, like me, hate me, whatever, I thank you. Of course I will go back and edit in anyone who I may have forgotten, but I don’t know how long that’s gonna take. Awake At Noon was a success thanks to all of you, now its time to take it to the next level.
