I’m shawn Charles.
Cleveland producer cooking up instrumental hip-hop with influence from J Dilla's bounce, Organized Noize's soul, and Midwest edge—honoring what came before while building what's next.
Thanks for coming through
I'm Shawn Charles—your mother's favorite button pusher (ask her). All jokes aside, I truly enjoy creating music. It's been a passion for as long as I can remember, and for me it's as essential as breathing.
Whether you're here to listen or looking to work together, feel free to reach out. Good lookin' out.
2 Piece Special (Vegan Edition)
by Shawn Charles
This project was a collaboration with Eriq Troi, who's been both a friend and mentor in my creative process. Some of these beats are from the vault, others are brand new—all of them pushed me to elevate my craft.
These are the first 8 tracks — listen to all 12 on Bandcamp.

great music is it’s own reward, but the magic happens in collaboration.

From co-production on The Game's 'No Man Falls' to working with Grammy award winning artist Rapsody—that's the standard I bring to every project: original production, custom beats, and a creative partnership built on skill and respect.
REUNION - JAY FLOYD & SHAWN CHARLES
"Reunion" reflects on family bonds and the trials that test them. A lot of families carry unhealed trauma that turns into generational curses. It's our responsibility to heal—so we don't pass that pain to our kids or the next generation.
