Shawn Chrystopher – A City With No Seasons (Free Album)

A City With No Seasons is Shawn Chrystopher’s debut album produced in its entirety by Shawn Chrys himself, and his production partner Zaire Koalo. Premiered by Myspace.com, A City With No Seasons comes with a full-poster sized graphic of the album artwork, as well as a 21 page digital booklet!

Tracklist and link under the cut.

I’m a person who loves to take chances, loves tight-roping the line between genius and insanity; the artwork for my debut album is no different. I felt, in hip hop, we were playing things a little too safe with our album artwork, scared of the backlash we would get and ultimately not being true to ourselves. I’m here to change that. The A City With No Seasons artwork is inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat because his art was debated about the most on whether or not it is real art because it looks ‘elementary.’

I honestly believe that there is no such thing as wrong, or bad art; that is difference between art and math. If I say 2+2=5 I’m wrong, but because my lines aren’t straight and my coloring isn’t inside the lines my art isn’t art? Art is all about expressing yourself, and no one can ever say that you are expressing yourself incorrectly.

It’s ok to say you don’t understand; what’s not ok is to say that it’s wrong.

  9. Wow crazy art work..

    slick said this on August 11th, 2009 at 7:02 am

  10. Hope the mixtape is as dope as the art!!

    Seriously…wow

    StevePorter said this on August 11th, 2009 at 7:35 am

  12. You can preview the whole mixtape before you decide to download it on his myspace. It’s actually pretty dope!

    dza said this on August 11th, 2009 at 7:37 am

  13. Man, this shit is fire!
    And this is coming from someone who has never even commented on this site before, but wow…

    Williams said this on August 11th, 2009 at 7:40 am

  14. Basically a poor man’s version of 808’s & Heartbreak with the sad love songs, autotune and the drums he uses…still pretty good though

  16. I Wear Glasses 2 doesn’t hold even the wick of a candle to this piece. IWG2 was disappointing as a cohesive piece of work (dope tracks interspersed), but this…this makes me believe Shawn Chrys has a future again. Great “tape”/album.

    GrahamCEO said this on August 11th, 2009 at 8:22 am

  17. This free album is dope. IWG2 wasn’t that good, I liked “My 18″ and that was about it.
    BTW, what is with the double post Meka?

    derrik said this on August 11th, 2009 at 8:29 am

  18. I’ve been waiting for this for quit sometime; Shawn Chrys is really dope.

    Mr. W3st said this on August 11th, 2009 at 9:50 am

  24. damn this is amazing, especially the john mayer sample in position!!

    boss said this on August 11th, 2009 at 9:54 am

  25. I really like to see an artist put a lot of work into a project. This guy obviously takes pride in his work – from the music, to the art, to the website. It’s all good.

    Thanks Shawn, we appreciate it.
