Hip-Hop street legend Shabaam began creating Hip-Hop music at the age of 15. Through rap street battles, hip-hop mix tape appearances & numerous DVD features, Shabaam became a hip-hop street legend over night.

As an artist on the roster of Rawkus Records, he solidified his spot as a key player in the Hip-Hop game & helped begin a movement that hasn''t slowed down since. Shabaam worked on the Polyrhythm Addicts album and stunned the Hip-Hop community with lyrics that dominated The Sound Bombing & Lyricist Lounge series. Some of his most popular features include “Simon Says” along side fellow hip-hop and rap artists Pharoahe Monch, Busta Rhymes, Lady Luck, Redman & Method Man.

He also appeared on 12 inches that include "5 Star Generals" featuring hip-hop artist Eminem, “Concrete" featuring west coast rap legend Xzibit, "WWIII" with Pharoahe Monch, and "One Four Love Part 1" from Hip-Hop for Respect w/ Talib Kweli, Rah Digga, Sporty Thieves, Mos Def, Common, Pharoahe Monch, & Posdnous. Shabaam has also been blessed with beats from many prominent and well respected hip-hop producers including the Alchemist, Hi-Tek, Ayatollah, & DJ Spinna.

A short stint in prison gave Shabaam some time to reflect on his career & gear up for the future. Depending on his skills rather than the marketability jail currently has on the industry, has earned Shabaam much respect amongst his peers. He says “I don''t need to be behind bars, because I''m already behind bars lyrically.”

Shabaam Sahdeeq's newest release, ‘Strategize’ coming out on Draft Records this summer, already holds weight in this industry & has every one watching for his next move. He will soon follow up with his next album ‘The Out Come’, also on Draft Records, this fall. ‘The Out Come’ will tell the story we''ve all been waiting to hear - HIS VICTORY.
