Songwriter, Producer, Artist, Shysti has been creating and producing music for years. After co-producing and featuring on the song Latin Kings by The Godfather of Latin Rap, Kid Frost, Shysti went on to produce and feature on songs and albums with many Chicano Rap, Urban Latino artists. His debut album, Border Music, was released in 2002 and was only recently re-released for digital platforms in 2020. Border Music is a Chicano Rap love letter to South San Diego, where Shysti learned Chicano activism and pride, as well as the street lessons of gangs and drug wars. The album pays homage to all the facets of life on the border, with poetry and harsh realism. The song Traffico, purposely spelled this way, tells of the drug trade and all the different cities and towns that are connected through contraband.
