‘Stunna Shades,’ as Bay Area hip-hop cats call them can be found just about everywhere from convenience stores to hip-hop boutiques and apparel stores. Don’t say we didn’t tell you however Bay Area hip-hop artist and icon, Shake Da Mayor is the official “Stunna King,” as he calls himself.

Why? Because this Fresno, CA based hip-hop artist; who has released his album, “The Fruit of His Own Thinking,” on Clear Records/Palm Tree Entertainment is creating and distributing his ‘stunna shades’ to the biggest heads in the Bay Area Hyphy Movement collective.

Now, the official stunna shades, Palmtree Eyewear can be seen photographed in such publications such as VIBE Magazine, reviewed at e-zines like West Coast Rydaz http://www.westcoastrydaz.com and TV interviews with B.E.T. for Rap City as one of the most innovative hip-hop artists in the Bay Area Hyphy Scene.

Music videos featuring the official ‘stunna shades’ include E-40’s, “You and Dat;” Dilated People’s, “Back again” and a Fresno-based uncensored DVD.

According to Shake’s bio, he recognizes that Mac Dre and others in the Hyphy Movement have popularized the Stunna Shade craze, Shake just wants to offer a line of official glasses to the hip-hop community and beyond.

“”Man, we don’t live like that. It’s a struggle to bubble and stay humble,” says Shake about how everything comes full circle.

Shake has plans to launch Gamay Rouge Wine through his Palmtree Beverages line with Andrew Lane Wines, a Bath and Body line is almost ready to launch within Palmtree Bath and Body, the line sticks to organic ingredients and natural island/familiar scents such as coconut and citrus, and a new shoe line developed by Kashi Kicks Designs under the umbrella company Palmtree Lifestyles, LLC; think “diamonds on the soles of your shoes,” viewable at http://www.myspace.com/kashikicks.
