Song:
Inviting E Da Sanga on board, Shady Nate kicks the soul vibe up a few notches with his newest single, "Planes, Trains and Automobiles." He tells a story about having to live life as a hustler in order to get where he wants to be, rapping, "As long as you never tell it /Shady gonna sell it /hide it real good so the dogs can't smell it." The track's ethereal electric piano chords overlay a grooving, multilayered percussion section, creating a sort of uplifting, hopeful vibe that corresponds nicely to the refrain, "I'm about to escalate, so watch me elevate." Check out Shady Nate's story on his latest album, Gasman Unleashed, out now everywhere via Clear Label Records.

Background:
Shady Nate is no stranger to struggle and adversity. Born and raised in West Oakland's Acorn housing projects, Shady Nate learned from a young age to hustle and grind to get anywhere. His rapping career began at the age of five when he started writing his thoughts and daily experiences in a journal. These entries gradually developed into the lyrics that he spits today. In 2004 Shady Nate launched Livewire Records and subsequently recorded and released a full-length mixtape with Nas' tour DJ, Oakland native DJ Fresh. The buzz only got bigger when Nate released The Bofessional, which is regarded as his best mixtape to date. Riding high on his growing popularity, Shady Nate released The Gasman Unleashed in June 2009, and the album was quickly dubbed a west coast classic. The Gasman Unleashed is available now via Clear Label Records.
