Sheba Shane

Sheba Shane is a product of Louisville, KY. Born in the same streets that raised Muhammad Ali she would go on to attend his alma mater, Central High School which lies in the heart of the city.

"I always had a way with words. Probably because I like to talk slick and no one was really speaking on topics that I felt needed to be addressed and just flat out weren't telling men how it is. So I just decided to do it myself."

After graduating from Central, she went on to Hampton University to major in Broadcast Journalism. While attending college Sheba decided to take her love of language to the next level.

"It started as poetry at first. No flow, just words on paper. But as I started getting into it, I started to evolve and write to beats, and record. That’s when the swag came in, the confidence. Because of course I'm confident in conversation, there is a comfort level there. Once I reached that with rap, it was over."

Sheba has been featured on several mixtapes and compilations, including The Cunninlynguist’s KYliens and Major Dreamz: The Rise of an Independent Empire. She has been the opening act for such talented performers as Devin the Dude, Young Bleed, Project Pat and The Nappy Roots.

Sheba Shane’s first official solo release, a mixtape entitled “Sheba, Baby Vol. 1” was released Fall of 2010 to great reviews. Her track "Oh Yeah" from that album was placed on Sh!ts Beautiful, a free compilation mixtape presented by The Nappy Roots and AllHipHop.com.
