Atlanta based Hip-Hop group, The Shop Boyz, has used their unique talents to bring powerful sounds to the entertainment world, in their latest song “On and On.” As a cultural wake-up call, the talented group created the song to focus on police brutality going in America. The Grammy-Nominated group is known for their hit single “Party Like a Rockstar,” which charted at #2 on the Billboard’s Top 200, bringing an almost overnight world of stardom to the group, accompanied by their #1 selling ringtone, which brought in over $3 million.

Demetrius “Meany” Hardin, Richard “Fat” Stephens and Rasheed “Sheed” Hightower make up the group. The three grew up together in the Westside/Bankhead area of Atlanta, Georgia. Each one of the multi-talented trio brings his own special skills to the table to create a combination of Hip-Hop mixed with Rock, Country and Electric Dance music.

The Shop Boyz have been presented with nominations from the Grammy Awards for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, Teen Choice Awards for Choice Summer Song, BET Hip-Hop Award for Track of the Year and the American Music Awards for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Band/Duo/Group, just to name a few. The Shop Boyz will be featured in the Fall Issue of Fuzionz Magazine and TV this September. For additional information, please visit the Shop Boyz website @ www.shopboyzmusic.com.
