Shadow The Great, born Markquise Changkit, is a 17 year old kid from Bushwick, Brooklyn. He started rapping at the age of 13 but never took it serious until he met up with Oso Dope in 2009 and joined the GOSIP after school program ran by Ricky Singh. Soon after Shadow started to produce his own music, mixing and mastering in his basement studio, he met up with a junior high school friend Kidaf and later met Kay Arson over YouTube and formed the group Meatloaf Muzik.
