LIL SHAUN
62
he's so St. Louis, but far from being a Lunatic. Shaun "Lil' Shaun" Lewis is a straight-from-the-
streets rapper who grew up running through the back roads of University City. although he grew
up getting dirty while entertaining, his sound is unlike the Midwest Swing that you've grown
accustomed to.
Lil' Shaun, who also goes under the moniker Deuce Sheezy has a hard-core flow reminiscent
of a young T.i. "i just want to show the world the St. Louis that i see". and with tracks filled with
raw lyrics and bass-heavy beats, this 20-something rapper is determined to paint a not-so-pretty
portrait, introducing the world to the fast-life of the streets of St. Louis.
"i recorded my first song under Bulletproof Records when i was 11 or 12. i wrote my own verse and
everything," he proudly reflects. "i even started helping other guys write their songs." and with a
strong musical foundation, it seemed that he found his calling.
of course street life and fast money has its consequences, and after serving four years on drug
charges, Lil' Shaun thought he left rap behind him and was willing to focus on making a living as
a personal trainer. however, as he returned to his youthful dwellings, he learned that his team at
Street Gang entertainment kept grinding to keep the dream alive--even in the absence of their
Captain.
With the endorsement of heavy-hitters such as Tony "T-Luv" Davis, Lil' Sean is already been
revered as the one of the kings of the underground. "Stay Gettin' Money" is his latest single under
Bulletproof Records. as he continues his hustle spitting precision flows that fall from the dome
seamlessly, Lil' Shaun is constantly evolving into who he's destined to become--a voice for the
other side of the city.
