Speaking of the theme of his latest album, the Point Shown writes, "My message to listeners is to feel my raw energy of hip-hop lyrics overtaking the original beats that are infused with street elements from the east coast that can reach out to down south, mid-west, west coast and international listeners and appeal to all fans."
The Point Shown grew up in Philadelphia and began writing songs in the late 1990s. He appeared on Merk Beats' classic "Philly Freestyles" mixtape series, and began producing his own music under the mentoring of Beats, himself.
