MP3 Anthony J. Shears - The Growth: My ENDtroduction

"Shears' lyrics are indeed diverse and hard-hitting. Not only does he have a mind for what music fans might identify with, such as infectious clauses and pop-musical references, but he has an eye for what is going on socially within major urban areas."

Details:
'The Growth: My ENDtroduction' is an appetizer for whatâs to come. It has D.J. Phonetic exclusives like 'Mea Culpa' and 'Tears in Your Eyes', previously slept-on tracks, throw-back and newly-dipped freestyles and remixes interspersed with Anthony J.'s Lebron-like youth and finesse. "Anthony J. Shears is for anyone who's ever been through any kind of stuff in their life. It's for anyone who's ever been on the bottom and hustled to realize their dreams," Phonetic says. One of the album's many highlights is "Mea Culpa", which Shears penned as an open letter to all the loved ones and friends that he's hurt. "Mea culpa literally means an acknowledgment of a personal error or fault. I have many flaws, but that's a part of who I am. This song looks at both sides of individual failings and mistakes both what causes them and their long-term effects," Shears says.

"My music is about getting' it however you get it - it's about survival. It's about isolation, desperation, frustration, determination, and aspiration. It's simple - we grow or we die."
