Undead Headcheck (feat. Cadence)
Shaboi
This year Halloween fell on a weekend, it's Shaboi and Cadence trick-or-treatin'. I seen a dope-head in the street freakin', clothes all ripped and his breath was reekin.' I said, "Hey homeboy, head for shelter," he turned around lookin' like helter skelter. He was on some of that walking undead shit, he looked me dead in the face and he said this: "I used to be a dope rapper just like you, then I got shot by a rival crew. I was belly in the ground and the dirt hadn't settled, before i went down to hell and made a deal with the devil. Covered in blood i crept out of the crypt, feelin' like I had a new sixteen to rip, and I mean to get my revenge on the haters, who shot me the one dude's name was Cadence." I looked at Josh and he looked at me, and both took off runnin' down the street, tryin' to get away from the undead dude, who was tryin' to turn our grey matter into head food. Hell nah, I aint goin' out like that - I stopped in my tracks and I turned right back, and I asked Josh are we mice or men? I killed him once and I'll do it again. Here comes a freaky zombie man now - I hit him in his undead face like "pow!" I ain't ever had no hesitation, Z-O-M-B decapitation. That right there is a demonstration, of why y'all shouldn't never fuck with Cadence, and how he made the whole damn rap game hopeless when he spit his dopest Halloween opus.

Ten finely crafted songs paying homage to the ghouliest of seasons, Halloween. This debut from Shaboi is best enjoyed during the span of October. Put this one heavily on repeat and you can thank yourself later.

This album is best experienced through headphones or in a hearse.

Thanks to all my friends willing to sully their reputation by participating in this outlandish album. Shorty Tall Small for co-writing one of the best tracks and creating incredible artwork for the CD. Matt Elam for allowing me to include "Undead Headcheck" which he lyricized in about an hour last year with no preparation! Keith Parish and Ashley Fisher, two exceptionally talented musicians who added 300% polish to their respective songs. Karla for being the ultimate teammate and ego booster. And fore-mostly Michael Eades who is gracious enough to host/post the songs, not to mention wrangle the packaging and keep my asp in gear to finish a Halloween album before Thanksgiving.

Please mark this album as gapless.
