The Song:
Shaya comes through once again, this time with a brand new joint just in time for you and your soul mate to wind down from a Valentine's Day weekend. Succeeding where many other love songs fail, "Open Up," featuring Eyezon, is full of inspired sweet-talk that comes off as sincere rather than contrived. Matched with a soulful beat and a smooth-as-can-be chorus, "Open Up" is sure to set the mood you'll be looking for. Stay on the lookout for Shaya's upcoming mixtape In Case You Forgot.

The Background:
Prior to signing with Interdependent Media, Shaya spent nearly ten years hitting the pavement in his native Bay Area slanging handmade CD's and mixtapes at shows and on street corners. 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, J*Davey, 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.
