Continuing his hot streak of ferocious tracks this year, 20-year-old Bronx-bred New York drill powerhouse Sha EK shares a raw new scorcher “Invest.”
On “Invest” Sha launches into his signature, unfiltered bars of fury over a mix of both drill and Jersey Club production making for a street banger that can easily turn up a party. “Too Oppy Pt. 2,” picks up where its predecessor left off in a more classic NY drill framework showcasing Sha EK’s spitfire flow.
Executive-produced by MCVERTT, “Invest” promises big things from the rapper’s upcoming collaborative EP with Bandmanrill Defiant Presents: Jiggy In Jersey, arriving on August 4.
Known for his natural megaphone of a voice, 20-year-old Sha EK reached the #1 spot on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart with his debut Face Of The What, and connected with Bandman for the East Coast anthem “WHO YOU TOUCH.” With “Invest” and “Too Oppy Pt. 2,” Sha EK sets the stage for a takeover of epic proportions.
ABOUT SHA EK:
Sha EK is at the forefront of a new wave of urgent, militant, and captivating street rap: Bronx drill. The 19-year-old’s booming, serrated rasp overflows with the aggression and emotion required to tear through the most thunderous and frenetic drill beats. On energetic, war-ready singles like the smash “D&D,” the South Bronx native brings you to the trenches, moving at breakneck speed through places where shots could ring out at any moment. Born Chalim Perry to Honduran parents, Sha EK spent much of his upbringing observing the harsh realities of the Melrose section of the South Bronx. At 15, he survived a gunshot wound while walking in his neighborhood, which prompted him to record the vivid and visceral drill we hear today. Local support mounted with each single he released, but Sha Ek broke beyond his neighborhood with 2020’s “D&D.” With over 5.2M views on YouTube alone, “D&D” has become a Bronx drill anthem that proves the subgenre has the potential to reach well beyond the five boroughs. Now that he’s signed to Warner Records, Sha EK’s working tirelessly on his debut project. He believes what comes next will advance the sound of Bronx drill while showcasing his own stylistic and melodic capabilities. His intensity remains, but these days he’s also recording soulful tracks that capture his pain and will surely echo out into the listening world. No matter how far his music reaches, every win is a victory for his city, his neighborhood, and his family.
