In the beginning, it was written... We are all born with innate gifts. It is our duty to embody those gifts and share them with the world. For Brooklyn born lyricist Sherod “Sha Stimuli” Khaalis, this means provoking an emotional response through his music. Growing up, Stimuli’s inquisitive mind could not be held by your typical childhood sports and video games. He preferred to follow behind his older brother Lord Digga, one of hip hop’s notable producers.
