Sionte’ Campbell (born September 18, 1992), is a recording artist from Jacksonville, Florida. He was adopted & raised by his grandparents on his father’s side where he came to love & enjoy music. His grandmother (mom) is a minister at a local church where grew up & attended as well as sang in the choir. Outside of listening to gospel, his grandfather (pops) would listen to R&B which greatly captured his attention. He also found a comfort in Jazz while riding with his grandfather on his biological mother’s side. Hip-hop & rap music would come more as he visited cousins, hung out with uncles, watched TV/movies, & visiting his biological mother & two younger brothers who lived in Hinesville, Georgia.
Shadow gained his name originally from hanging with his uncles, biological father, & their friends as a kid, but wouldn’t stick until he was much older. The name resurfaced as it was used as a joke because he was dark-skinned, saying he was like a “shadow” in the picture. As time went on he resented the name, later gaining nicknames like “Too Kool,” “Kool Kat Campbell,” & later combining them to make a Facebook name “Too Real;” it wouldn’t be until 2020 where he decided to add 2 Real to his name after music distributions would add other artist’s music to his & vice versa.
During high school, Shadow was around different groups of people. His biggest influence was Joseph Kate who was killed September 19, 2011. “Ain’t No Love Like My Mama,” recorded in 2011 was his first song, single, & first time behind a mic. After recording three songs from his friend’s closet, working, going to school, & running into some trouble here & there in the streets he decided to join the U.S. Air Force. Not long after joining he linked up with fellow service member & lifetime friend “Jermaine “JayDub” Wadley. The two would go on to create music later releasing “Rummage from the Vault” in 2014, Shadow’s first & JayDub’s 7th mixtape. They would soon go their separate ways & leave music alone. In 2019 while in Africa, Shadow would get back into music after playing around with an app called “BandLab” & creating a song called “Island Wind.” The uproar from a single song pushed him to continue music & dropping his 2nd mixtape “Glitch” as a way of saying he’s back & better than ever. In 2020 he released an R&B album “Canvas” which featured Camo & JayDub, while catching a lot of steam & encouragement in the process. His latest project “No Pressure” with JayDub will be released March 3, 2021.

Ron Raxx releases “Can’t Fake It” featuring New York based R&B Soulstress Nyasia Chane’l
Ron Cooper Jr (known professionally as Ron Raxx, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter from Oakland CA. He rose to attention in 2017 when he released the video to his hit record “Snakes”. In 2018, he followed up on the success of “Snakes” with the release of his star-studded, debut studio album “Paradox Cliche”, which included guest appearances from: Mistah Fab, Outrageous Karina, Magnolia Chop, J-Diggs, Dubee, J Banks, Dubb20, Simone Mosley, Young Ell and more.
For decades, the great state of California has produced Hip-Hop artists who are more than just musicians, artists such as the late great Eazy-E, Nipsey Hussle; legends such as Snoop Dogg, and E-40 have all leveraged their artistry with their entrepreneurial instincts endeavoring to uplift their communities. Ron Raxx is no different in this regard. With the establishment of his own label, lifestyle, and clothing brand “STICK Squad”, Ron has ventured into music production, event planning, fashion and philanthropic work.
“S.T.I.C.K.” stands for: Stronger Than I Can Komprehend, when discussing the rational for its formation, Ron reflects on the tragic loss of his mother due to suicide when he was just 4 years of age; “It’s my personal belief that all humans have encountered situations to which we didn’t know how we would overcome them but through our faith in something greater albeit “God”, the “Universe” or whatever we find the strength to overcome, and STICK Squad was formed to be a reminder and inspiration to the people that we can overcome any obstacle together.”, says Ron Raxx.
STICK Squad has begun to partner with Carter Block Entertainment (CBE), Restoration for Life Ministries and Food Without Borders; for weekly food drive events every Saturday donating 2500 boxes of food to those in need in Oakland. Beginning in early February as a response to the hardship brought on by the pandemic STICK Squad and CBE plan to continue this endeavor well into the spring and beyond looking to partner with like-minded organizations and expand to more communities throughout the Bay area and greater California.
Real life, pain, love, loss, companionship is what drives Ron Raxx and that is reflected in all of his music. “Can’t Fake It” is a tale about a new romance, discussing how many times the barriers to love are found in the people around you who are purported to be friends or family. Ron’s chronology of a budding romance is all too relatable, the classic “Good girl” choosing the perceived “Bad guy”. As Ron expresses gratitude for the love of his choosing him over the objections of her peers, the soulful musings of Nyasia Chane’l reassures him that their bond is greater than others have the ability to comprehend.
“Can’t Fake It” is a remarkable throwback styled Hip-Hop/Soul ballad with a “now” sound. Too often many complain that today’s music lacks substance and introspection, however Ron Raxx and Nyasia Chane’l are proof that music can still show vulnerability and still be marketable.
Keep an eye out for Ron Raxx as he is well on his way to becoming a household name, and star in this industry.
