Originally released on CD in 1998 on Starr Records, the album "Contact" by Springfield, Ohio rapper BigShawnDon is now being reissued on vinyl& CDwith the help of Gramofix Records. Each format is limited to 260 copies and includes two bonus tracks.
BigShawnDon : " Contact was the very first full length CD released from an artist from my city (Springfield Oh). This CD was sold in record stores all over the country. It was a big deal back then to some guys that just wanted to make music and be heard. This album was the beginning of a movement. It led to me later opening a record store and a beauty salon both right on my block across the street from my house that later was turned into a recording studio. This movement was also the birth of PPC (Poetical Priznaz Camp) who later dropped another full length CD. We done shows near and far. That project put us on stages as far as Los Angeles. Myself, Reedy Beedy, Freakshow, DJD, Hollywood, Speedy P, LA, and Sauce had the local music game in a chokehold. Some of yall are too young to remember or even know at all but I remember what felt like the entire city coming out to support our video shoots. It was a time where people could come together without the drama just good times and a lot of love. This album takes me back to all of the good vibes. I never stopped my musical journey over the years. I’ve produced, written, recorded, mix and mastered for lots of artists and recently took some time to focus on my own creative passion. I finished a brand new solo project that will be dropping in June this year 2026. So much life has happened since “Contact”. I’ve grown from my first project and I can’t wait to share it with all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This music thing is in me not on me, it’s who I am, It’s what I do and what I’ve always done. I say that to say bet on yourself and do what makes you happy and leave something good behind for them to remember you by. We’re not here for a long time so let’s make it a good time. "
