Artist Interview: King shadey

Tell us about yourself and your music

My name is Lashay Payne, but I go by the rap name King Shadey. Grew up in Oakland, California with my two grandparents. Got the name shady because I used to be a real shady person, who didn’t care about anybody but myself. The king part simply cause I am a young king, so put them together you get King Shadey.

Talk to us more about your latest release

My Latest mixtape I’m working on is called 300 demon. Looking to drop before the summer is over.
