The S.O.N. EP is the first entry in Shawn Lov's catalogue since 2007's "Waiting For A Ghost" LP which received critical praise in Rolling Stone magazine and various international press. The S.O.N. is a mature, minimalistic, and deliberate collection of songs which were written, performed, produced, and recorded entirely by Shawn Lov.

Beats are strictly creative breaks and boom bap- reminiscent of the days of the SP1200 and MPC60. Topics vary but are grounded by Shawns reflection of a forgotten sound, and his own search for identity as a white artist whose world view was nurtured by black music and black culture. The S.O.N. EP is the eleventh official collection of music by Underground Hip-Hop mainstay- The Lov Doctor, The Great Cipher Destroyer and the S.O.N.: Shawn Lov.

Also look for "Future Left Behind" The LP on NuffSaid Records this summer, featuring Sadat X, Custodian of Records, Prowla, MC Que, Truth or Square, Nic&Jaq, and many more!

A very conscious and witty effort. I must admit that I preferred this EP to the Blackout one. Favourite joints: "My Planet", "Hip 'Em", "All I Know" and "On Our Way".
