Most industry" heads will tell you, any rapper with dreams of being successful needs a hometown hit, but in order to obtain success on a national scale, a rapper needs to think beyond his block.

That's quite a dilemma right? Not for Shake.

While the A-Side to his single ("Hater") will have folks from East to West clowning rap's current roster, the B-Side ("Kings County") gives Brooklyn an anthem that they haven't seen since Smif n Wesson's "Bucktown".

Brooklyn has a long standing tradition for greatness, whether it was the Brooklyn Dodgers, Mike Tyson, a Spike Lee joint or the legacy of Christopher Wallace.

Brooklyn has always produced a certain magic. Just when the magic seems to have passed away, retired, or gotten jerked by Don King, enters Franklin Rossman aka. Shakespeare, and all the 24-year old wants is for the world to "feel" him.
 

"When writing a song, I try to find ideas that everyone experiences at some level", answers Shake when asked about his creative process. "Everybody experiences death, love, hate, and betrayal", he adds. Not only is Shakespeare willing to relate to his audience, he is also willing to show them a vulnerability within himself that most rappers would never own up to.


On his lead single, "Hater", Shakespeare admits to being a player hater, showing distaste for everything from trucker caps, to "rappers with a clothing line".

On the Moss produced track Shake challenges the notion that all rappers must fit into a cookie-cutter, fitted-cap mold, while using a melodic flow with more substance than Boston George; which is why Complex Magazine chose to run the verse in its inaugural "Dial-A-Freestyle" section
