About me

Kobi Shahan Sha, better known by his stage name Sh8s™, is an East London Hip hop MC. A well known and respected figure in the urban music scene, his lyrical ability has made him a marvel to the Bangladeshi community World Wide.

Sh8s™ was the founder and lead member of the 2005 Asian Invasian™ underground hip hop group, one of the first groups formed in the Bethnal Green area at the time, consisting of 10 members, recording songs that include 'Whatcha Gonna Do' and 'Taking You Down'. The group took the UK Asian underground scene by storm. Despite being short lived, the echoes that it has left behind have helped to shape the Asian music scene of today.

In 2007 he began to pursue solo projects recording songs that include 'Tales Of A Sinful World' and 'Corrupted Bengal', digging deeper and harder into the roots of subjects covering poverty, inequality, freedom and liberation, educating himself in the history of mankind and about the heritage passed down to him by his fore-fathers.

During 2008 Sh8s™ took a revolutionary step, getting together with a group of collectives to form Deshi Movement™. Taking pride in being a third generation British Bangladeshi, he started amalgamating both languages to create bilingual songs depicting the struggles and hardships faced by the young generation growing up in today's British society. He has gained a lot of success with songs such as 'Keep It Pushin' and 'Untouchables'.

2009 was the year of Konk Bak Recordz™, an independent record label, established solely by Sh8s™ as a base from where he could branch out his music as a solo artist, taking a giant leap to break through to the commercial market. Still in the early stages of creation we can only imagine what this young innovator has in store for the future.
