Brooklyn-born and Virginia-based rapper Shawn Kaine is making waves again with the recent release of his new single BlockWork. Kaine delivers as he takes his fans on a two-minute audio experience of bars, energy, and vivid storytelling. The track features a boom-bat style instrumental reminiscent of classic Hip-Hop. It was during the rapper’s adolescence that his passion for music began, through listening to legends like Biggie Smalls. A mere product of his environment, the young artist would find solace in the streets and music. Kaine would also see a heavy influence from the 2000 Mixtape where he drew inspiration for his lyrical style. His combination of traditional rap and more melodic modern flows is the reason he’s broken through as one of Virginia’s most promising artists. Stream BlockWork by Shawn Kaine on Spotify below.
