Bio From Wikipedia
Shabaam Sahdeeq (real name Marcus Vialva), is an alternative hip hop artist from BK, New York. He is recognized and respected as one of Brooklyn's most promising underground artist of the late 90's. In 1999, Sahdeeq collabirated with DJ Spinna, Mr. Complex and Apani B to form the hip-hop collective Polyrhythm Addicts. A supergroup renowned for its pivotal role in the explosion of late '90's indie hip-hop. The single 'Not Your Ordinary' gained an overwhelming critical and commercial reception, which paved the way for their first album. Rhyme Related, which was released on June 9th, 1999, scanned over 14,000 units, and is widely regarded as a hip-hop classic. After this success, the group disbanded to focus on their individual careers.

In Sahdeeq's solo career, he featured alongside music icons such as Busta Rhymes, Redman, Method Man, Kool G. Rap, Common, Mos Def and Eminem. His distinct voice and unique delivery catapulted him to mainstream stardom on the "Simon Says" Remix along side label mate Pharoahe Monch. S-Dub is nationally recognized for his work on the classic Sound Booming and Lyricist Lounge series which dominated radio in the late 90's into the early 2000's. At this point he was in perfect position to launch his solo album on Rawkus Records. Unfortunately do to the label's loss of distribution his solo project was never released and he would ask for a release from the label to solidify a new situation with the up and coming label Raptivism. In 2001 artist re-emerged with the single "Bubbling" on Raptivism Records and again set his mark on radio across the country. This track featured on his first solo LP Never Say Never. But soon after his album was released, Shabaam was shot in a street altercation that almost cost him his life. Unable to perform and generate capital off the single, S-Dub soon returned to the street life he tried to escape through music and shortly after found himself sentenced to a six year prison sentence, of which he served three years and was released in late 2005.

Seven years after their first album, Shabaam re-united with Spinna and Complex, with Tiye Phoenix replacing Apani B. Fly Emcee, to bring out 'Breaking Glass'. The Polyrhythm Addicts' long awaited second album was released on April 24th 2007 under Babygrande Records.
