  • Limited Edition T-shirt (Cardinal red shirt w gun metal ink)
    T-Shirt/Apparel + Digital Album

    This is actually my favorite color combination. The picture is a little deceiving. The shirt's more like a brick red. The "gun metal" ink looks super sick too. It has a slight sparkle which actually makes it look like grip tape on a skateboard or black/grey sand paper. It really pops.

    Includes unlimited streaming of the album via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    Sold Out

  • T-Shirt/Apparel + Digital Album

    Silver & Black for all the Raider fans out there. ***make sure to wash inside out cuz for some reason the bright silver ink fades after washer quicker than the other inks. Actually ends up with a cool slightly aged look, but just not as bright.***

about

Shames Worthy talks about his desire to travel overseas and bring his music all around the world.

lyrics

Yeah people the illEagle did it again!
I put the pen to a paper now we making it blend.
What we creating is separating the men from the boys
who playin' with toys and afraid of the deep end.
I leap in, toss caution to the wind.
Often causin' a splash, either sink or swim.
Then creep in to the dreams of those who sleepin'.
Shake them up to wake them up. You gotta peep him!
Never overseasoned. Just overseas in 
some distant land. They coming to greet him
and givin' him "the royal treatment" just from what he speakin'.
Not even preachin' but still he reachin'
out for the stars. Comin' down with a cloud.
After my set I'll prolly be around in the crowd.
Interacting with people is where I gotta be
cuz if they show me love I give it back properly

Yea I'm coming to a city near you.
So bring a friend. Better yet, bring two.
Hopefully y'all can all swing through.
Just make some noise
when I say "I can't hear you!"
Cuz I'm coming to a city near you.
So bring a friend. Better yet, bring two.
Hopefully y'all can all swing through.
Just make some noise
when I say "I can't hear you!"

International if I ain't embraced in the states.
I couldn't hate but neither could I wait.
I knew my audience was "somewhere out there."
That's Fievel-type survival with savoir-faire.
I say a little prayer cuz its needed.
Even when I lose I refuse to be defeated.
Keep improvin' and keep it movin'. Beat it!
Can't stop, won't stop 'til the job's completed.
I go where I'm needed. Do whatever I can
whether its lending a hand or taking a stand.
A one man wolf-pack "making the band."
Cali Quake tastemaker forsaking the bland.
Against the grain. I am what I am dude
I'm knowin' what I can't, I'll show 'em what I CAN do.
Heavyset yet ready. Yep, he already ran through
another stage. Next page, brand new.

Yea I'm coming to a city near you.
So bring a friend. Better yet, bring two.
Hopefully y'all can all swing through.
Just make some noise
when I say "I can't hear you!"
Cuz I'm coming to a city near you.
So bring a friend. Better yet, bring two.
Hopefully y'all can all swing through.
Just make some noise
when I say "I can't hear you!"

Come spit with me cuz come can't stand to sit with me.
Transport or passport. Who wanna trip with me?
I'm rippin' the beat, kickin' the snare,
jackin' its hat, tramplin' the sample & then crack it with a bat.
Red dots on the spots I've been like paint splattered on a map.
When you havin' me back?
Just tell me the when, the where, the how...
The present's a gift, the time is now...
That's by design. I'm at my prime.
But then again, you'll find I only get better with time.
Raisin' the bar and stayin' above the line.
Its the only thing I'm really good at. I love to rhyme.
Keep on writing songs 'til my voice is gone.
Then I'll make more beats so my sound lives on.
All my REAL heads know where to go --the front row.
Wanna know why? Then come to my next show.

Yea I'm coming to a city near you.
So bring a friend. Better yet, bring two.
Hopefully y'all can all swing through.
Just make some noise
when I say "I can't hear you!"
Cuz I'm coming to a city near you.
So bring a friend. Better yet, bring two.
Hopefully y'all can all swing through.
Just make some noise
when I say "I can't hear you!"
