On July 26th, Shawn Chrystopher released his mixtape lovestory. which you can download for free below. Coming from Inglewood, CA, he has worked with Big Sean, Mike Posner, XV, Owl City, and more. Since 2008 he has released multiple free mixtapes and he is scheduled to release his debut album this year. The following description from Facebook summarizes Shawn's thoughts on music:
"There are plenty of things that bother Shawn Chrystopher about the music business. The lack of true artist development by labels, the rush of one-hit wonders diluting the world of Hip-Hop, the reoccurring philosophies of money over art that overwhelm the radio station. But the one thought that ruffles the feathers of the artist who has crafted his every step toward success is the assumption that true MC’s are not thinking class musicians."
On lovestory. Shawn worked with Phil Adé, Dom Kennedy, Mann, Stunnaman, GLC, and Kris Kasanova. Overall, the mixtape (produced by Timbaland) reminds me of Kanye's 808s and Heartbreaks both from the samples and the lyrics. The music video below for "One of My Homies" is from lovestory.
