‘This is the community that raised me, and it’s important for me to pass the love that this community gave me forward to the next generation’
With an upcoming show celebrating the 25th anniversary of his debut self-titled album, “Shyne,” the former Bad Boy rapper received the Key to Brooklyn in the East Flatbush neighborhood where he grew up.
“Shyne embodies what is possible when a community believes in its young people, and the magic that can happen when young people are given the resources they need to thrive. East Flatbush raised Shyne, and it only made sense to present him with the Key to Brooklyn as we team up to deliver hope and opportunity to dozens of young men today,” Reynoso said at the event.
“This is the community that raised me, and it’s important for me to pass the love that this community gave me forward to the next generation,” said Hon. Dr. Moses “Shyne” Barrow.
The artist behind “Godfather Buried Alive” will be performing in Brooklyn on May 2 at Kings Theatre.
