Who's Hard
Big Shug is a core member of the Gangstarr Foundation. Growing up in Mattapan, a.k.a. Murderpan wasn't always easy. It wasn't until Shug did a bid in Wolepole prison that Guru inspired him to get serious about the rap game. Big Shug has appeared on most Gangstarr albums and has toured the world many times with them. He is best known for being part of the Militia. The Militia consists of Big Shug, Freddie Foxxx, and Guru. Shug has been signed to a couple of labels but his long awaited solo album, Who's Hard?, is finally coming out through Sure Shot Recordings. The legendary beatsmith DJ Premier handles most of the production, as well as The Alchemist and others. The first single 'Tha Way It Iz' is now the number one independent single on both college charts. In addition to 20 all new tracks, and cameos by the likes of Guru & Freddie Foxxx, there is also a bonus DVD, which features footage of Shug performing live on tour, and also rare glimpses of Primo working his magic in the studio. A must have for die-hard Gangstarr fans everywhere. 2005.
