Since returning to us in 2020 after a brief hiatus, Shadez The Misfit has been on a formidable run. He hasn’t overdone it with the release schedule, putting quality above quantity and it’s paying off in a big way. From “Random Inner Thoughts” to last year’s “South-Side Solace”, it feels to us like the last few years have been some of his most creative and impressive.
His latest drop, “Standards”, is an inspiring new cut about challenging the status quo and striving for individuality. You can feel that passion and intensity in the beat too, which comes from NGC Records producers FantasyFile and TsarJoe. The arrangement’s restrained, opting for a less-is-more approach to make sure the driving beat and vocal harmonies land with maximum impact.
He’s playing his cards close to his chest, but word has it there’s more planned for the rest of the year. In the meantime, check out “Standards” below.
