Joining forces with the Birmingham Public Library, Shaheed & DJ Supreme have created a fun and educational Hip Hop track, ‘Knowledge Of Shelf’ The song is about the importance of literacy and supporting local libraries. The track is accompanied by a video created by Dmot Productions.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It’s easy to forget just how much local libraries have. Beyond books, in this technological age they can offer internet access, a quiet place to study or recharge, endless research resources, and a true sense of community. Growing up, Shaheed practically considered the library to be a second home. The son of a school principal, he was always surrounded by books and learning. Meanwhile, DJ Supreme had a similar experience, with his librarian aunt fostering in him a love for books. It’s this early connection that later shaped their artistic collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music video, focused on Birmingham Public Library, aka the “Downtown Branch”, encourages people to rediscover their library, and lyrics such as \u201cWe must go visit the library \/ \u2019Cause reading books can expand your whole vocabulary\u201d lead the way. Brittney Decker, the much loved evening anchor from NBC WVTM 13, even makes a cameo after she arrived to cover the shoot. Shaheed & DJ Supreme pay homage and honour to an historic and irreplaceable institution, in a celebration of the smell of books, the nostalgia of turning pages, and the inspiration that only knowledge can bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
