Chicago has a history of producing upper echelon and game-changing artists — from Kanye, Common, and Lupe Fiasco to the genre-shifting architects of the city’s drill sound, like Chief Keef and Lil Durk.
From this environment, 26-year-old Prince Shun has been steadily building his buzz, opening up or working with acts like Drake, Nicki Minaj, Kirko Bangz, Lil Durk, and the late King Von, G Herbo, Young Thug, and many more. In recent years, he’s found himself at the table, fielding lucrative offers from major label record deals, having accumulated millions of streams, as a solo artist and ghostwriter — though he’s humbly mum about the names for whom he’s helped pen jams.
With a bright future in the industry, the young star stays true to the city that bred him; understanding poverty, he is continually giving back — from food drives to donations to education. His heart is full of compassion.
Boasting a network of 5 million, his latest project, No Handouts, is a testament to the hard work put in, coming from the bottom on his own volition and (most importantly) on his terms.
Stream Prince Shun’s latest single, “From the Bottom,” off his forthcoming LP, below.
