Welcome to the Official Channel of Thugshade.

Built from shadows, rhyme battles, street lessons and complicated relationships, Thugshade is a rapper with a dark, aggressive and highly personal identity.

Influenced by Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Eminem, Charlie Brown Jr. and the emotional intensity of Linkin Park, he respects the roots of rap while creating his own sound — a mix of gangsta rap, hip-hop, boom bap, drill, speed flow, dark melodic R&B and alternative rock energy.

His music speaks about pain, resilience, faith, survival, scars, choices and the strength to keep moving when life gets heavy.

Thugshade doesn’t just rap what he lived.
He raps what people feel but can’t always say.
