MC Shan’s career took off in 1985 when he signed with MCA Records and released his first major single entitled “Feed the World”. The following year, he became a part of the documentary “Big Fun in the Big Town”. Shan was eventually dropped from MCA, signed with Cold Chillin’ Records, and joined the Juice Crew All-Stars, a hip hop collective consisting of various artists from the same area. He released a few singles as part of the group and several solo singles. This led to his debut album entitled “Down by Law” in 1987, marking the start of an increase in his net worth.

Shan became a key figure in the Bridge Wars, a hip-hop rivalry between the Juice Crew and Boogie Down Productions, which initiated when Shan released a song entitled “The Bridge” directed at LL Cool J. This prompted Boogie Down member KRS-One to respond with the song “South Bronx”, leading Juice Crew to create “Kill That Noise”. The feud helped propel the careers of several members of each group. Boogie Down would release “The Bridge is Over”, followed by Shan’s reply, “Da Bridge 2001”.

Shan then worked on the album “Born to Be Wild” in 1988, and in 1990 worked on “Play It Again, Shan” which showcased a more mature style. However, it was his last album. He released two more singles as part of the sub-label “Livin’ Large”, but afterwards focused on a more production-focused career. He helped Snow create “12 Inches of Snow” which had the single “Informer”, then tried his hand at films, appearing in a small role in “LA Story” as Rappin’ Waiter, and on the Sum 41 song “Dave’s Possessed Hair/It’s What We’re All About” as a guest rapper.

In terms of his personal life, there is limited information about any relationships. Shan is also the cousin of producer Marley Marl and the older brother of radio personality Princess Ivori.
