How to write about Hip Hop part 6

Shemp has been working with Thizz for over 4 years. Lately everything that Thizz has put out, Shemp has put the artwork together for. He has his own office complete with a secretary and, art designers, and Evan, his business partner. Shemp is a businessman in every since of the word, he try’s to keep his clients and his self-happy by giving them exactly what they want. He knows the finished product that finally goes on the shelf in the record stores, reflects on the recording artist as well as the graphic artist.
Shemp is a San Francisco, CA native. He works with a lot of Bay Area artists and he says the bay sound is what’s hot right now, and Thizz is on the cutting edge. Shemp likes the Thizz movement because of the positive things they do in the streets. Despite the unfortunate circumstances that have happened to Thizz in the past.
Ever since he was a kid, visual effects & photography have inspired Shemp, he even gets ideas from his dreams. He admits he’s not very much of a drawer though. He has done artwork for artists such as Baby Bash, Yukmouth, C-Bo and the West Coast Mafia Gang, Turf Talk, Mr. Cheeks, Guce, Messy Marv, and many more. Shemp’s company is called Photo Doctor Graphics, they design, Posters, Stickers, Postcards, Album Flats, Billboards, & Print Advertising. His website is www.photodoctorgraphics.com you can reach him at (415) 424-3424. If asked if he would ever retire he said, “ Yeah maybe in thirty or forty years.” We hope to see Shemp & Photo Doctor Graphics in the near and distant future.
