Press Release Summary: The Source's Unsigned Hype Steps Up. This record just so
happens to be a manifestation of one of those times" says the rarely apologetic MC.


Press Release Body: New York, NY, August 29, 2008 -- If controversial lyrics were a
sport at this years Olympics, then Jewish rapper E-Shy would have definitely taken
home the gold medal. As the author of hot topic and equally debatable raps such as
"Blacks and Jews" and "Obama Diss", the Harlem born and raised MC takes his message
to the streets with the DJ Kayslay mixtape, "Why So Serious", that debuted Tuesday,
August 26th to much anticipation.

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 Source Magazine earlier in the
year when they recently anointed E-Shy as Unsigned Hype stating that they believed
"E-Shy was the heir to Eminem's throne".

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.
