Forever The Artist: J Shiltz Unveils Animated Masterpiece

Canadian artist J Shiltz releases the official animated music video for “Forever The Artist” produced by Charisma aka Skizzz. The song is the title track of the new 11-song album by the same name.

Animated by MadeByAbra and featuring the artist’s claymation-style interpretations of the MC/producer duo, the video brings a new dimension to the already stellar MadeByAbra artwork that has accompanied all Forever The Artist releases to date.

The video is edited by Dan Langevin in an ASMR-inspired style that recaptures the studio session vibes at Notlam Productions in Brampton, Canada between 2020 and 2023 when the album was being recorded.

The new album is available on all streaming platforms and distributed by URBNET Records, was produced entirely by Charisma aka Skizzz of the legendary Toronto-based hip-hop collective Monolith. An extremely limited edition run of 100 vinyl is available for purchase via Bandcamp.

In J Shiltz’s words: “Dope beats and dope rhymes – that’s always been the mission, and with Forever The Artist, the mission is accomplished.”

Watch the official animated video now on YouTube.
