For Brooklyn born lyricist Sherod "ShaStimuli" Khaalis, this means provoking an emotional response through his music. Growing up, Stimuli's inquisitive mind could not be held by your typical childhood frivolity. He preferred to follow behind his older brother Lord Digga, one of hip hop's most notable producers.
