Album Notes

This is soul music. Shawn Matthew is a veteran vocalist and writer, with a message.
From smooth to bangin' Shawn Matthew is not playing! Christ is the foundation, and making you move is the motivation.
"The Gift" is his debut CD, and it is a soundtrack to life. This is where hip hop meets gospel, soul meets destiny and life's questions find answers. More than just a singer, Shawn Matthew is an emcee, songwriter, and a producer. Born and raised in Rochester, NY and now residing in Jacksonville, Florida. This is an artist on a mission. With God as his guide and the Soul Squad at his back, Shawn Matthew is at the frontline of change in this world of greed and pain. Shawn's target listener is 15-35, but really has something for everybody.
The lead single "Charisma", is in hip hop tradition driven by horns and a hard drum track, with a message that tells you that you are on this earth for a purpose. The hook is so catchy, you'll be singing it after the first time you hear it. The kids love to "Get Crunk", and Ya Moms can't help but love the song "Prayer". You can put this CD on and just let it play.
Shawn Matthew has performed on shows with Trinitee 5:7, Michelle Williams, Lisa McClendon, and many others. His debut CD features Pettidee, DJ (formerly of CampQuest) and reggae sensation Andrew Carty.
From hip hop to neo-soul Shawn Matthew is one to watch. If you ever have a chance to see his live show, do not miss it.

Be on the look out for the sophmore release. Mid 2006

Shawn Matthew will also be featured on the new PHAAT Church compilation. Scheduled for release January 2006.

This cd is a new dimension to what we know as gospel music or even holy hip hop. It flows from the beginning to the end, and it has some definite highlight joints. CHARISMA and SHO' NUFF are two of the bangers, but the whole cd is HEAT!!!
