Being an artist is all about conveying your innermost talents to give people multiple angles of your craft so they can meet in the middle with their perceptions.

California rap upstart Shad Robinson manages to pull such a feat off handily with his newly released “Shooting Stars” video. While putting all his emotions on the line atop a multifaceted backdrop, he spits poetry like, “And I see ’em as I’m staring out the window to the future/They say close the blinds/I refuse to/This is visions of a thinker/You can’t close the curtains on a thinker…” to let you know this dream isn’t a fleeting thought just to become a rap celebrity.

Although 2015 is slated to become Robinson’s breakout year, he’s already been soaking up game behind-the-scenes. Last year, he toured the country alongside Ab-Soul for the TDE rhymer’s These Days Tour. Just being in the proximity of a cerebral wordsmith like Soulo can do wonders for a young MC and Robinson is no exception.

The “Shooting Stars” video is only the beginning of the greatness to come. Look for Robinson’s upcoming album, Face is Fact to follow suit the astrological lead-off single blazed in the sky.

Watch and listen to the APLUSFilmz-directed, E.D.W.I.N.-produced “Shooting Stars” down below.
