About

Down with the Queens-based Juice Crew, MC Shan first hit the scene in 1985 alongside super-producer Marley Marl on "Marley Marl Scratch." One year later, they would release the quintessential Queens pride anthem "The Bridge" as part of an ongoing dis war against KRS-One's BDP camp. Shan went on to release three solo albums in the late eighties, most notably his '87 debut Down By Law. In the nineties he had a few mildly successful singles and began working as a producer, collaborating with Canadian crossover star Snow on his '93 hit "Informer."
