Blackshire
Every so often someone comes along with not only the talent and ability, but also the PASSION!!!!! to change the world. They usually impact us in all areas of our life; such as sports, politics, religion, and MUSIC just to name a few. These leaders or geniuses usually endure severe levels of tragedy and disappointments and turn them into weapons to overcome adversity in the lives of many around the world. Many of these extraordinary beings become household names, while some of the others have to be dug out of books, films, artifacts, we may never hear of. The truth of the matter is they made a difference weather we know them or not. The patron has been passed to the next generation. New leaders have been born, and the passion has been passed to the "new school". You may have never heard of these guys, but then again you most likely will. Johnnie and DuJuan "BLACKSHIRE" have been answering a call in which no one can answer but them since babes. Coming from three generations of a gospel singing family, the influence of the HIP HOP era, and out from under the wing of "PRINCE", "BLACKSHIRE" is in route of their debut c.d. "Roommates", which is scheduled to be released in Summer 2008'. Stay tuned to your favorite HIP HOP, R&B, and POP radio stations.
