For Shelah uniqueness has been something he’s epitomized since birth. He came into this world in 1971 born Patrick Kieth Deans in East Meadow, New York, and yes, he says his middle name really is spelled that way. Growing up in Hempstead, NY, Shelah spent his formative years listening to WBLS and KISS FM during the Red Alert / Mr. Magic days. For a fix of the underground he turned to Jeff Foss on WRHU and Stretch and Bobbito on WNYU. Now Shelah has taken up residence in Sweden and he’s pursuing a career in music overseas. Recently he released an album titled This Is No Illusion (Con or Artist), and this week he’s sitting down with me to talk about the Swedish Hip-Hop scene, what he’s bringing to it, and the culture shock he experienced moving from Hempstead, NY, to Malmo, Sweden.
