"Diced Pineapples" - 8Shotz

"Diced Pineapples"

 Brandon "8Shotz" Cook was born and raised on the south side of Chicago in the Jeffery Manor. He began rapping at the age of 8 and developed a knack for creative word-play. Growing up his influences were Jay-Z, Kanye West, Juvenile, and Lil Wayne. 8Shotz put rap on hold for a while, while he obtained his bachelor's degree from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. After feeling like something was missing he decided to put his efforts and passion back on the microphone.

8Shotz believes that he can be a major influence on the hip-hop scene and focuses on music that makes people want to have fun, spend money, and become intimate with someone. With songs like "Mr. go 2 Deep", the self-proclaimed "Ladies Man" boasts about his sexual prowess. With other songs like "Rock This", a sure-fire club hit, he raves about being the man on the scene whom every man wishes they were.

8Shotz is currently working on his first official mixtape due to drop beginning of the summer 2013
