The “Paris” hit maker is constantly criticised for not sounding local like several other rappers on the SA Hip Hop scene. Shane has constantly been accused of sounding more like J Cole. Finally, he has reacted to the criticism. Contrary to what you’d think, they dont make him feel bad at all.

In fact, he’s happy to be compared with greatness. The “Dark Moon Flower” hit maker called the criticism the “most natural to make”. He also revealed that he doesn’t take them to heart because he believes art is subjective. Here’s what he had to say;
