  • Shawn Moltke is an American rapper who uses the stage name MC Shan. Born and raised in the Queensbridge Projects located in Long Island City a section in Queens, New York City, Shan is the cousin of old school hip-hop producer Marley Marl. Shan got a record deal with Cold Chillin' Records in 1983 due to his relationship with Marl, and joined Marl's Juice Crew All-Stars. After a few singles were released, MC Shan's debut album Down By Law came out in 1987. Shan also found himself to be a key player in the noted hip hop rivalry the Bridge Wars between the Juice Crew and Boogie Down Productions. The feud was started when Shan and Marl released a song called "The Bridge" as a B-side to "Beat Biter," itself an answer record directed at L.L. Cool J. KRS-One responded with "South Bronx," and the Juice Crew replied with "Kill That Noise. " Slate magazine described it as follows: "In 1986, it was a beef that launched the star of KRS-One, when his withering attacks on MC Shan effectively ended his rival's career. " Boogie Down Productions then released "The Bridge is Over," widely celebrated among hip-hop fans as the paramount dis song. Years later, MC Shan remade "The Bridge" into "Da Bridge 2001," and strongly denied the bridge "was over", saying: The Bridge was never over / we left our mark / The jam is dedicated to you and your boys / I brought my Queensbridge thugs to kill that noise Shan's second album, Born To Be Wild, followed in 1988 and revealed the b-boy persona of Shan, with production once again by Marley Marl. 1990's Play it Again, Shan displayed a more mature style, but proved to be his last album. When Cold Chillin's sub label Livin' Large was active, he was listed as one of its artists but never released any material. Despite the fact that he focused more on his production career (like Snow's 12 Inches of Snow, which featured "Informer", on which Shan appeared) he recorded "Da Bridge 2001" for Nas's 2000 compilation called QB's Finest, which also featured Mobb Deep, Cormega, and Nature. Shan also had a brief stint in film, playing a bit role in Steve Martin's L.A. Story film as the Rappin' Waiter. He is also the older brother of female rapper & radio personality Princess Ivori. Shan is credited as the guest rapper on the Sum 41 song Daves possessed hair/ what we're all about from the album Half Hour Of Power.

  • Nato e cresciuto nel quartiere Queensbridge di New York. Shan è il cugino del famoso beatmaker Old Shool Marley Marl. Shan ottiene un contratto con la Cold Chillin Records nel 1983 grazie soprattutto alla relazione familiare con Marl, ed entra nella "Juice Crew All-Stars". Dopo la pubblicazione di alcuni singoli, MC Shan debutta con l'album Down By Law che esce nel 1987 came out in 1987. Shan ha poi un ruolo chiave nella rivalità tra la Juice Crew e KRS One: Shan e Marl pubblicano il brano intitolato "The Bridge" che da il via al feud. Anni dopo in un rifacimento del pezzo intitolato "Da Bridge 2001", MC Shan si chiama fuori dalla disputa dicendo: Il secondo album di Shan Born To Be Wild viene pubblicato nel 1988, con le produzioni affidate al cugino. L'album del 1990 Play It Again, Shan mostra invece un rapper più maturo, sebbene sia l'album finale della carriera. A dispetto del suo maggiore interesse per le produzioni musicali registra poi la già menzionata "Da Bridge 2001" per la compilation di Nas del 2000 intitolata QB's Finest che contiene anche collaborazioni di Mobb Deep, Cormega e Nature. La sua breve carriera cinematografica si limita al film di Steve Martin L.A. Story dove interpreta in cameriere rapper.
