An original member of the legendary San Francisco group Bored Stiff, Big Shawn is equally respected for both his rapping and his production. With an extensive discography including 5 Bored Stiff albums, a plethora of solo albums and instrumental albums, and a variety of different side group projects, not to mention production scattered across other albums, chances are that if it’s hip-hop and it’s from San Francisco, it’s somehow been influenced by Big Shawn. Em Dub of Thizzler On The Roof got a chance to chop it up with Big Shawn about how he got into hip-hop, the origins of Bored Stiff, his group Sound Earth, what’s coming up, his advice for independent artists and more.
