	Shaya - "It's Like That" Produced by 9th Wonder	01.27.2009


	"Summertime, unwind, just let your body recline, we keep it all in line, it's like that."

The Song: In case you're wondering what it's like, Shaya is more than obliged to fill you in. "It's Like That" is a smooth, chill groove that gives you the image of cruising through Cali in your '78 Cadillac convertible with the top down, moving your head to the R&B-charged beat. The track is produced by none other than 9th Wonder, formerly of Little Brother, who has worked with artists such as Mary J. Blige, Erykah Badu, Mos Def, and Jay-Z. 9th cites his production influences to legends such as J-Dilla and DJ Premier, and often uses artists like Curtis Mayfield and Al Green for samples in his beats. He most certainly takes a page out of his own book on this one, weaving the sounds of a way-back-when R&B classic with the bass and drums of a modern hip-hop joint. Shaya complements the theme well, delivering a sexy message of love much like Mr. Green would have, but uses his unmistakable west-coast flow to relay his feelings of romance. When he says, "However, I want to grow old together, walk in the rainiest weather and write you love letters," there's no denying how he feels about this girl; it's like that.

Shaya's lyricism, determination, and charismatic personality caught the attention of many industry leaders but personal obstacles often prevented him from taking his craft to the next level. He did, however, perform regularly and opened up for Bay Area luminaries such as the Hieroglyphics and the Living Legends. Shaya is currently under the mentorship of iD, the same A&R guru who introduced the world to Little Brother. Now, backed with the support of Interdependent Media, home to Canibus, K'naan, Tanya Morgan, *JDavey, and other artists, Shaya and iD are proud to finally release the fulfillment of the potential that others in the industry have always seen in Shaya with Fallen Awake. The album features production from Jake One (50 Cent, Freeway) and The ARE (Lords of the Underground, K-Otix)*. Under the manifesto of resurrecting “thinking man’s music,” Shaya considers Fallen Awake* to be not only an open-palm to his listeners, but a chance to lay to rest the pains of his own life.
