$tupid Young, Pacman Da Gunman & Young Dopey Shine on Syphon’s “No Shelters”
Producer, Engineer, and now Syphon adds artist to his title with the debut of his very first single through his new venture Optimistic Records, featuring South Central Los Angeles heavyweight Pacman da Gunman (Nipsey Hussle’s protegé), $tupid Young, known for his hit track ‘Mando’ (feat. Mozzy) and Inglewood’s very own rap folk hero Young Dopey.
‘No Shelters’, opens up with a gritty, pulsating bassline that sets the tempo of the track, before quickly dropping into Pacman da Gunman’s signature style flow. The verses between Pacman da Gunman and $tupid Young play out like a conversation, back-and-forth discussion that narrates stories of making it in the rap game. It all culminates when Young Dopey closes out his tough as nails verse by shouting out Pacman and Young then letting them know they are welcome in Inglewood.
The trio touch on what it means to keep it real, not forgetting your roots and keeping in check with your own ego even after reaching success. It plays into the cross-cultural heritage of each of the rappers, combining stories from urban life across African-American, Asian and Latino neighborhoods.
Syphon’s high production value is impossible to ignore. While minimally composed with only a few core elements, the track oozes vibe and atmosphere, rounded off with an extremely tight mixdown that punches hard on even the tiniest of sound systems. He called upon Ev9thr33 to assist on production and put the finishing touches on this masterpiece of a track.
“This single means a lot to me as it’s my first single as a producer who’s been behind the scenes for a lot of major artists for a long time.” says Syphon.

Still riding “High” off his recent collaboration with Dylan Chambers and ‘Best Melodic Rap Performance’ GRAMMY win for Lil Durk’s “All My Life” featuring J. Cole earlier this year, Miami musician LunchMoney Lewis delivers “Rain or Shine.” Co-produced by JulianBeatz & BRIANXWHITE, “Rain or Shine” is a record about believing things will get better even when everything feels hopeless. In current times where there is so much pain in the world, Lewis wrote the Hip-Hop / R&B-influenced track to help us overcome life’s hurdles with love.
“In light of everything going on in the world, I’ve been in a very tough place creatively about what I wanna write about. Seeing so many innocent lives taken pushed me to make something that gives people hope in some fashion, rain or shine. We will continue to push love and love only, even in the face of darkness,” states the talented triple threat about the inspiration behind his latest leak.
Best known for his work with Dr. Luke as a producer, LunchMoney Lewis first broke into wide recognition as a rapper after appearing on the song “Trini Dem Girls” from Nicki Minaj’s 2014 album ‘The Pinkprint.’ He also co-wrote Jessie J’s single “Burnin’ Up” from her album ‘Sweet Talker,’ and Fifth Harmony’s single “Bo$$” from the album ‘Reflection.’ In 2015, he released his debut single as a solo artist, “Bills”, which peaked at 79 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number one on the ARIA Charts.
