Shing Shing Regime

Formed in 2007, “Shing Shing Regime” consists of members Cee Self (MC/Producer), Salute Truth (MC), Symmetry (MC) and “The Future Buddha” DJ Akiin (DJ/Producer) [pronounced “Ah-Keen”]. All members of the group were born in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in the province of Ontario, Canada during the late 70′s and early 80′s. Members Cee Self 7 and Salute Truth, due to the moving of family, were raised in the neighbouring blue-collar city of Hamilton while members DJ Akiin and Symmetry grew up in the infamous “Malvern” and “Galloway” neighborhoods of East Toronto (Scarborough). Having grown up with hip-hop all members of the group were heavily influenced early by the consciousness, social commentary and positivity of the culture.
