Marley Marl's Legendize "The MC Shan Episode" (Podcast)


MC Shan, Shawn Moltke, is one of the freshest, most intelligent and coolest rap stylists and innovators to "rock the mic viciously".... His professional character is partly one of pure virtuosity, and partly one of exciting showmanship.

In his early years, he unleashed a torrential outpouring of fresh def jams, including "The Marley Scratch," "The Bridge," and the preachy but funny anti-crack rap, "Jane, Stop This Crazy Thing," all produced by man Homeboy, and blood cousin Marlon "Marley Marl" Williams. - Press Kit.
