Tha Shadoz – Intoxicated
Tha Shadoz grew up within a musical background. Their mother, aunt, and grandmother were all singers and that rubbed off on them since a child. They began their musical journey by admiring Michael Jackson, specifically the song Thriller. That began their musical journey into a path they would soon call a career. After Michael Jackson, they were shown the latest R&B and House music of that time by their father. They were introduced to Boyz to Men, Jodeci, and Keith Sweat among others. At this point in their young lives, Tha Shadoz thought they were singers which their parents quickly explained to them the talent of singing has passed them by. So Tha Shadoz was introduced to Hip Hop and the various Hip Hop artists of that time.
From the ages of 11 and 9 years old, Tha Shadoz would study every Hip Hop song on the radio by taping each radio show. They quickly became fans of late greats such as Biggie Smalls and 2Pac; and other artists like Kris Kross, KRS One, Public Enemy, Run DMC, and Bone Thugs. In addition to becoming fans of these Hip Hop artists, they studied their musical styles for years. At those young ages their late Uncle Alvin Frazier helped to push their musical skills to another level. He taught and challenged them to create lyrics that moved people. In addition, he challenged Tha Shadoz to look at their priestly history within the Scriptures, and when they did, they knew that they had self-worth within a world full of different prejudices and hardships.
