The mixtape is sure to be regarded as a cinematic and musical saga that fearlessly melds together an entertaining compilation of classic hip-hop beats as well as new records to include the recently leaked single "Paper Bag." The controversial track is one that E-Shy knows will be a catalyst for conversation and dispute among many groups. "Paper Bag is sure to spark some controversy with women's organizations for its reference to placing a paper bag over the heads of females with attractive bodies and less then attractive facial features,” says E-Shy. "There are times when I like to write about things that people think about on a daily basis but are too afraid to say. This record just so happens to be a manifestation of one of those times” says the rarely apologetic MC.
With the industry co-sign of hip hop veteran, DJ Kayslay, the “Why So Serious” mixtape is sure to extend the buzz created by the April 2008 issue of The Source Magazine in which E-Shy was featured in the highly coveted Unsigned Hype column where he was described as being, “a dope lyricist with an infectious flow who also happens to be white.”
As E-Shy explains, "Why So Serious is in a sense a tribute to the Joker in the Batman film, The Dark Knight and the character's interpretation of the Chaos Theory, his art of disruption. Hip-hop has become watered down and way too serious from my perspective. Things need to lighten up a bit and the entertaining side of the art-form needs to make a comeback. I have nothing but respect for Kayslay and his history in the game and hope that this mixtape is enjoyed by all who get a chance to hear it in its entirety, and understand that it is meant to entertain and for people to ask themselves, why so serious?”
E-Shy will release his debut album, “Misfit”, this fall.
