Shades of Black is the debut EP by recording artist Solomon, released on August 11, 2009.

During the creation he began instead playing with more pop sounds.

It's a five track EP titled, "Shades of Black".

I started more as a full on rapper, releasing mixtapes, doing remixes and stuff.

I was featured on Eminem's Shade45 Sirius Radio, did the whole XXL, hip hop magazines and stuff and next thing you know I was thrown into this category that didn't fully reflect me.
