Shayfer James, Live in The Greene Space

It’s the Battle of the Boroughs, and it’s back for a sixth season. We’re on a quest to find 2015’s best undiscovered performer from across all genres in New York City — soulful hip-hop acts, instrumental ensembles, pop-rock bands and more.

Emceed by WQXR’s Terrance McKnight, contestants get the opportunity to hear feedback from an esteemed panel of judges including featured soloist with the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir Alicia Olatuja, vocalist and Q2 Music host Helga Davis, and host of WNYC's Soundcheck and New Sounds, John Schaefer.

Shayfer James is a fantastic writer and performer. Definitely deserves more attention.

This version of Weight of the World sounds more jazzy, lol. It's kinda cool for a change.

I watched them playing at a little Hole in the Wall in Westfield NJ many years ago. Amazing performance. Bought their CD and still play it (when I can find a CD player). Awesome job!
