In session
Having worked with producers from all over the world, RAB Artist has been featured in the papers and on national radio.
He says: "When I was younger, I used to write maybe two verses a day - and learn them. I've got boxes and boxes and boxes; I've got over a million lyrics."
But it hasn't been an easy journey for Shane; two of his brothers and his step dad died of heart attacks - and he says every one of his lyrics means something personal to him, citing their loss as a huge influence on his continued musical journey.
When he appeared at the Malvern Cube for our recording session, he'd only just returned from a 30-location video shoot in Cornwall: "The visuals are insane!" - so keep watching out for his music videos online.
"An incredible vocal performance from one of the greatest rappers in the Midlands right now!” - Andrew Marston.
