The day is here! The
Underrated Treasures Blogfest is being hosted by Alex Cavanaugh,
Tell the world about a little-known band or artist, book, movie or TV show.
As to my underrated treasure - Shinehead is an artist who
was somewhat popular in the 80's. He's Jamaican by birth, but has lived in the United
States for most of his life. He's quite talented—raps, sings (very well) and
deejays, but never made it big over the duration of his career. Not sure what
he's doing with himself now, but here are a couple of my favourites from him.
Which band or artist is listed among your obscure treasures?

Have fun on the hop and do have a look in the side bar.
My tour and hop are mighty lonely!
Wow, cool artist. Also, I just love the idea of making a book for the ISWSG.
ReplyDeleteYou've been on my mind, Clarissa. Thanks for dropping in.
DeleteI think that book will be a source of encouragement to many.
Never heard of him. Sounds like he diversified though, which probably kept him going.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in my blogfest!
Yes, this guy did a range of songs that showcased his talent.
DeleteHappy to be part of the blogfest.
The first video is wild. Looks like he had fun making it.
ReplyDeleteHi, J.L. I've never heard of this artist before. Thanks for sharing about him for the Underrated Treasures Blogfest.
ReplyDeleteI confess to disliking most, but not all rap, so it's no surprise that I've not heard of your underrated treasure. But then, that's the point! :) X

I don't know this one. I'm not a fan of most rap though I appreciate the talent of the genre.
ReplyDeleteHmm. I've not heard of him. Thank you for the recommendation, and I hope you have a wonderful week. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know him! Great voice. Love his take on Sting's song and the message in the second is most excellent.

ReplyDeleteHe's got a fun sound. I started dancing at my desk.
