Armed with an intensity that permeates his wide-ranging mastery of East Coast sounds, Bronx-bred Sha EK has his sights set on domination. Returning to remind his opps that there’s no mercy rule in the game he plays, Sha shares his new single, “No Comin’ Back.” Over skittering bongos and warbling synth melody, Sha welcomes his enemies to the jungle on the track, packing his rapid-fire rhymes with reasons why they’re not primed to compete with a veteran of his stature: “2018, n****s wasn’t outside/Free all the goons that took that risk/Free all the guys that was right inside.”
Accompanied by a haunting Weirdo Visuals-directed video, “No Comin’ Back” is the latest single from Sha EK ahead of his upcoming collaboration with Newark rapper Bandmanrill, Defiant Presents: Jiggy In Jersey (ft. MCVERTT), a supersized tape, executive-produced by MCVERTT, that shows off the duo’s considerable talents. The single follows in the wake of the trio’s recent video for “Pistons,” as well as Bandmanrill’s Crystal Waters-sampling “Mr. D.C.T.” and Sha’s “Never Want To Be Them Part 2,” featuring Chicago’s Lil Zay Osama.
United under the banner of Defiant Presents, the trio’s upcoming project demonstrates the Earth-shaking chemistry between Bandman’s smooth, rapid-fire rhymes, Sha’s booming delivery, and MCVERTT’ s indomitable, high-BPM production. Spanning 26 tracks, including the third installment of the epic “Jiggy In Jersey” trilogy, Defiant Presents: Jiggy In Jersey (ft. MCVERTT) arrives on August 4th via Defiant Records / Warner Records and is now available for pre-order.
Over the past 18 months, Bandmanrill, Sha EK, and MCVERTT have proven to be three of the most influential forces in the East Coast rap scene. 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.” Bandmanrill’s spectacular 2022 featured dancefloor-shaking hits like the FADER-acclaimed “REAL HIPS,” culminating in his debut album Club Godfather, which Pitchfork praised as “breakneck” and “intoxicating.” Rising producer MCVERTT is heralded as a father of the club rap scene taking hold in Newark, Philadelphia, and across the East Coast. MCVERTT is a credited producer on Lil Uzi Vert’s 3X Platinum, Top 10 hit “Just Wanna Rock.” The Tri-State trio are regular collaborators: Bandmanrill and MCVERTT made headlines for their unique club/drill hybrid, while Rill and Sha connected for club-crashing local hits like 2022’s “Jiggy In Jersey,” “Jiggy In Jersey Pt. 2,” and “WHO YOU TOUCH.”
Stay tuned for much more from the “Jiggy In Jersey” trio as the summer heats up.
