Rapper Shyne is celebrating the 25th anniversary of his self-titled debut album, Shyne, with a forthcoming tour. the announcement came during an interview with Cam’ron on the “Talk With Flee“ podcast, were Shyne also revealed plans for two new albums tied to upcoming film and television projects.
Released in 2000 under Bad Boy Records, shyne achieved gold status that same year and marked a pivotal moment in the artist’s career. It remains his only album released while not incarcerated, featuring collaborations with Barrington Levy, 112’s Slim, and standout tracks like “Bad Boyz,” “Bonnie & Shyne,” and “Commission.” The project debuted at no. 5 on the Billboard 200 chart. Shyne’s subsequent album,Godfather Buried Alive,released in 2004,was commercially more accomplished,but he was incarcerated at the time of its release.
During the interview, Shyne discussed his renewed focus on music following his recent loss in the Belizean election in March, where he sought re-election after previously serving as a member of the House of Representatives. He explained that his political duties had previously limited his ability to perform, with the 2022 BET Awards performance-dedicated to Belize-being a notable exception.
Looking ahead, shyne plans to create new music specifically for a forthcoming television series, envisioning a project similar in scope to “Narcos,” “Powers,” and ”BMF.” He also intends to release an album accompanying a separate motion picture. He also expressed interest in bringing out fellow rappers DMX (“Killa”) and Ma$e,stating,”I don’t know if he’s retired.”
