This debut mixtape from Ypsilanti, MI's own Shane "Sharod" Collins is what we've been missing. Along with 2025's trend that "real hip-hop is back"; this punching, poignant, and personal EP is just a result of the same happenings. While being made over a few years in collaboration with Ann Arbor's Clarence Collins III being the featured producer, the Dilla to the SV, cementing intelf in hip-hop tradition is the main goal when these two get together. Through this short run time of 35 minutes you will be exposed to the environment, the landscape, the humanity of the area in which this sonically represents. Even the title- what do you feel when you hear "Knees on Concrete"?

I never studied music. I only love music. Listen albums, not tracks. Listen with intention and reflection. Peace.
