i’m not hungover, i’m still drunk.

House Shoes is full of savage-ery.

he’s also old as hell. 33 to be exact.

this is a belated ‘happy birthday’ post.

even at the ripe old age of 33, Shoes is still putting people up on that next shit, his Hennessy-fueled debauchery is still running rampant and he’s also still cranking out some of the better beats you’ve been sleeping on.

though his official discography is modest, Shoes keeps a high standard of quality with his beats and who gets on them. some of Detroit, and hip hop’s, finest have shown their talents on a House Shoes beat, from Elzhi to Guilty Simpson to Proof and Dilla. Shoes seems to be in the mix of everything that matters in Detroit. He maintains his strong relationships with many of Detroit’s legendary, but he’s also been a major supporter of relatively less established cats with incredible talent. His production is featured on Invincible’s newest album, he has a project in the works with Finale, he’s given beats to fresh young dudes like Marv Won and Quelle, and of course he is working on his own LP. all Shoes on the beats with handpicked MC’s.
