When Shaquille O'Neal released his comeback freestyle over "Karate Chop," people might have overlooked the second rapper on the song, Toronto's ShaqIsDope. Proving that he is more than just a gimmick, the youngster has released his latest project Early Beginnings: The Shaquille Baptiste Story. Over mellow piano-based instrumentals, Shaq lays down the story of his life to-date with refreshing detail and a slick flow. His narrative skills suggest a bright future ahead of him.
