Read moreBrooklyn veteran spit kicker Shabaam Sahdeeq has returned with his fifth studio album, Keepers Of The Lost Art. The relentless lyricist delivers a body of work that puts his lyrical aptitude at the forefront, while placing an emphasis on top shelf production and cuts, courtesy of Ran Reed, Lewis Parker, DJ Dister, DJ Ready Cee and DJ Skizz, to name a few. What originally started as 40 tracks, Keepers Of The Lost Art was eventually boiled down to 20, reflecting S-Dub’s most comprehensive long play release to date. The LP details his motivation to stay in the game and fight for the culture with bars as tough as the mic in his hand. The production runs the gamut from laid back as exemplified by the nostalgic piano chords on the Lewis Parker produced “Walk with the Light,” to electrifying, as demonstrated by the DJ Skizz produced street banger “That Dope,” which boasts features from Brooklyn’s premiere panderer Wais P, and the lyrically sharp Sha Stimuli.

Now cherished for showcasing acts such as Mos Def and Talib Kweli, the label was adamant in representing all of their artists, including the diamond-in-the-rough Shabaam Sahdeeq. Although the legendary label is a relic of the past, the “Arabian Nights” emcee hasn’t let that stop his ability to spit a few bars on the independent scene. Shot in a bright and fluid style on location throughout Kings County, “Stop It” has Sahdeeq calling out those who are only in the game to chase fame. “Stop It” is one of the many bangers featured on Alterbeats’ recently released sophomore album ‘Class Struggle,’ which is now available for purchase via iTunes and Fat Beats.
