The Shop Boyz are an Atlanta-based hip hop group, originating
from the Kings Glen Trail in Decatur. They are most known for
their single "Party Like a Rockstar" from their debut album
Rockstar Mentality. The group is composed of Demetrius "Meany" Hardin,
Richard "Fat" Stevens and Rasheed "Sheed" Hightower.
In mid-2008, Rich "Shoo" left the group of a battle with
Sheed.
The group's debut album, Rockstar Mentality, was released through
OnDeck Records, an imprint of Universal Records on June 19, 2007.
The lead single, "Party Like a Rockstar," charted on the
Billboard rap charts as well as "Rocking My New Hair Do" and
the Hot 100 (peaking at #2 on the Charts). "Party Like a Rockstar" was
the number one selling ringtone of 2007. Despite the success of "Party
Like A Rockstar", the album sold fewer than 200,000 copies as
