On a recent Monday at the Brooklyn Central Library, a packed house assembled to hear Shyne discuss his 30-year career in, but mostly outside of, music. It’s Yom Kippur—and, by some divine force of cultural alignment, Belizean Independence Day—and the Orthodox Jewish artist and politician hasn’t eaten since the previous afternoon, when he was in Trinidad accepting a Global Ambassador…
