Additional Information
From Fabreville, a Laval classic, Shawn Volcy became Shreez after giving up the 400 coups. It’s been a while, in fact: converted to full-time rap several years ago, Shreez won a Socan award in 2021 for his debut album On Frap, followed by Je Suis Canicule, nominated in 2023 for Rap Album of the Year at the ADISQ. Here we are in the spring of 2025, and the 14 tracks of On Frap II are released on the 7ième Ciel label. It’s a kind of autobiographical fiction with a big beat and big trap or drill bass, as well as melodic riffs. All infused with the Afro-Caribbean French typical of Montreal hip-hop. The opus also features collaborations with French rappers Jogga and La Kadrilla, not to mention Salgrimo and Jujuu on That Beat, who are on the rise on the Montreal rap scene. ALAIN, his faithful accomplice, does most of the beatmaking for the lyrics and instrumental transitions. Shortly before the official release of On Frap II, Shreez granted Alain Brunet a video interview for PAN M 360.
