"Stress (Radio Edit)" Zu ft. Killa Sha Dir: Daisu Saikoro Nagasawa "Stress...(More)

"Stress (Radio Edit)" Zu ft. Killa Sha Dir: Daisu Saikoro Nagasawa "Stress (Radio Edit)" The music video, shot at Sputnik in Brooklyn, is a representation of the underground effort to pull Rap/Hip Hop back from the stronghold that pop/club hip hop has on the masses. Songs like A Bay Bay and Lipstick are catchy tunes but the lyrical quality of songs like Stress have been lost. Help return Rap / Hip Hop to quality and it's roots. Zu Zubair Haque, who is of Pakistani decent, has seemed to accomplish a lot in his short time with music. Born and raised in Flushing, Queens, Zu took the raw style of street music and began to develop a style of his own. His music first hit the airways in fall of 2006, where 90.3 True Skool Radio hosted by the legendary Afrika Bambaattaa broadcasted "Anti-Friendly." At the same time, he appeared on DJ Emmo's "Crunchtime" mixtape. With production by Big Diz, Zu began collaborating with various people, those of which include Queenbridge's own Killa Sha. In April 2007, both took the stage in a performance. What soon followed was the release of "Stronghold", featuring Killa Sha, on DJ Emmo's Thundaground Army Vol.1. Recently the two have made guest appearances on WNYU's 89.1FM Halftime Radio Show, hosted by the world renowned DJ Eclipse. 
 All this is only a small part of what Zu has in store for us. Set to drop later this year, his "Demon the Dark Sense" mixtape includes a combination of hard hitting lyrics over loops. Its theme is a personal outlook on everyday events, conflicting issues in society, as well as a gritty outlook on the streets, all presented in a raw modern poetic sense. He also plans to work on more collaborations with well respected artists. Expect to see more of Zu, and hear his music on full rotation. Killa Sha Born and raised in the notorious and historical Queensbridge Houses of New York City, Sha-Lumi has had a front row seat to the evolution of hip hop since day one. While being inspired by some of hip hops most influencial pioneers, including Marley Marl, MC Shan, and Biz Markie, Sha has maintained to create a flavor of his very own. Sha first began his career in hip hop as a dj and producer for a group called The Super Kids. The group consisted of himself, Craig G., and Tragedy. Their only release was a 12 single on Nia Records in 1986 called The Tragedy (Dont Do It). Unfortunately, the group later separated. Never being one to slouch, Sha kept focused and began to dj for the infamous Mobb Deep. This was when the world tours began!!! Little did everyone know that on the side Sha was honing his rhyme skills. As time went by, with the skills rapidly improving, Sha formed the group Killa Kidz. The group consisted of himself, Psycho Child (a.k.a. Mr. Challish), Mr. Ruck, and Baby Sham. Their only release was a 12 single on Young Life Records in 1996 called 96 Phenomenon. Mr. Challish and Mr. Ruck were also featured on Nas Q.B.s Finest gold compilation album and Baby Sham went on to join Busta Rhymes Flipmode Squad. In the midst of shopping the Killa Kidz material to various record labels Sha was reunited with his old protg, Tragedy. This reunion proved to be crucial since Sha was to be featured on 5 songs on Tragedys Against All Odds LP. If he didnt have enough on his plate already with the rapping, djing, and producing, in 2000 Killa Sha joined forces with famed NYC radio personality Stretch Armstrong to host The Extra Large Radio Show on Hot 97 (W.Q.H.T.). He also went on to host shows worldwide with Stretch in Japan, Austria, France, and Germany. Over the past few years Sha has been aggressively building his collection of solo material. He has blazed tracks produced by the likes of Alchemist, Marley Marl, Ayatollah, and Sha Money XL, for starters. He also has done freestyles for mixtape djs such as Kay Slay, Green Lantern, Whoo Kid, Camilo, DJ Peter Parker, and Cut Master C, to name a few. All of this has been great preparation for his solo album which is slated for a 2004 release on Diva Don Records in conjunction with Marley Marl. If thats not enough you can always catch him on his radio show "LUMINATI RADIO" on futureflavasonline.com every Friday night from 10pm-Midnight.
