A Conversation with Shon P an up and coming Rapper

Sharing with our readers our recent interview with an up and coming rapper Shon P who is working on his first EP.

Twist Online : Please introduce yourself to our readers.
Shon P :Introducing yourself is always hard, I always get nervous like I’m at an AA meeting, but I’m Shon Pennerman but you can call me Shon P.
I grew up in the Bacardi Road area of New Providence, Bahamas. And graduated from C.V. Bethel before going on to COB to study Music.

Twist Online : Who or what inspired you to get into music industry?
Shon P : Music was never encouraged in my household as a viable career, but I’ve always loved it especially rap. As a kid I would listen and memorize every verse of a rap song and then alter it to fit my own style.

Twist Online : Tell us about your recent release ‘Bang’?
Shon P : Bang is a hustlers song. It’s not about gang or gun violence as the name may make it seems. It’s a hustlers anthem lashing out at all the nay sayers. It takes a turn to single out rappers locally and internationally who don’t take the craft seriously as Rap and music is my hustle my dream.
