He just spent the past 10 years in jail and now HE%u2019S BACK. WE ALL SHOULD BE APPLAUDING HIM AND SUPPORTING HIM TO THE FULLEST. Clean out your ears and put this song on REPEAT. THIS TRACK IS FIRE AND LET%u2019S US KNOW HE%u2019S BACK FOR GOOD. This is the perfect time for Shyne to comeback given the state hip-hop is currently in. Shyne is a true cat who spits the truth and one of the most respected emcees in the game. This hard hitting gutter beat produced by Chicago Producer LP completely connects with Shyne%u2019s tone and voice. The two are a perfect blend. His automatic flow and precise timing is what makes this track reassure us that Shyne is back on his grind and ready to stir up the music industry. DOWNLAD SHYNE- MESSIAH NOW!!! THE WAIT WAS WORTH IT!!

"I used to love it. I used to get it after doing local small club shows, or after just going out on the town with some friends. But since I stopped eating pork about a year ago, I can no longer enjoy the treat. I didn't stop eating swine for religious reasons or anything, I just found out about what it takes to kill a pig and after that I didn't want to eat them anymore for a few weeks. After I had stopped for a few weeks, I went over to this chick's house and she made some polish sausage for me. I swear after two bites of it I threw up all over her swanky Hollywood kitchen counter. Pretty nasty. I even had difficulties watching the pig scenes in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. Those nasty little motherfuckers. "

As a 22 year old I respect him a lot. I've been keeping up with this cat since 2006 and overall I truly like his music as far as a producing goes but not so much with his lyrical skills. Its okay though because we can only own so many talents. That latin funk and soul in hip hop definately is working him. "The Sign of The Cruz"...whats the delay? I've been waiting for this since 2007. I can't wait to see what recipes Omar Cruz & Rome have cooked up. Big ups to both of you on the grind...just keep on keeping on. -Miggie
