Shellshock tells his story through his music

July 12, 2010 - PRLog -- SHELLSHOCK

Dayton, Ohio – Victor Jerome Ennis started his musical journey back in 2005 while still in high school.  It was a natural thing for him to put beats together.  He also loved playing instruments, especially the drums since he was a drum major.  He served five years in the U.S. Military after graduating high school.  He served in two operations; Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.  This is where he got his stage name of Shellshock.   He is proud of his ability to maneuver away from the pitfalls of what he calls the ‘thug life’.   But he knew all too well what this type of life is about.  He struggled against the environment vs. his spiritual family upbringing.  He stayed focused and worked steadily assisting in the production of his own music and local artist in the Dayton, Ohio area.

Shelshock’s newest lead single, “Girlfriend” is off of his new CD “Kingz Amongst Kingz”.  Shellshock “felt like everybody from young boys to adult men have always wanted some very special young lady to be their girlfriend”.    This song has a catchy beat, catchy lyrics and an absolute wonderful rhythm to it.  It is reminiscent of the earlier R & B tunes.  He wanted to introduce this generation of hip hop artists to what R & B was all about back in the 90’s.  He is a very versatile artist being able to separate the different generations of hip hop style and yet  instinctually merge the two.

Some of his accomplishments are as follows:

•    Shellshock has opened for Juvenile, Uptown Project Records and Young Joc.
•     He has also performed for Source Magazines ‘Unsigned Hype Tour’.
•    He has gained recognition for his mc skills as an official hype man for Worldwide CoreDJs’ DJ Skno and the State-famous DJ Opzzy.
•    His music has been featured on the Trill Promotions website as well as being featured on Mr. Hanky presents..”Training Day”.  
•   He was with the Russ Parr Bus Tour 2009-Dayton, Ohio
•   He was with the Russ Parr Peace Tour 2010- Dayton, Ohio
•   He was nominated for best new artist, best show host, best collaboration in 2008 and 2009- hip hop awards.
•   He was the opening act for Rick Ross, Soulja Boy, Plies, Gucci Mane, Twista, Pleasure P, Swanty Lo, Juvenile and Lil’ Weebie.
