"Shiest City And Boyz Records Release First Single - “So Loud” - Together"

Boyz Records and Shiest City are pleased to announce the worldwide release of Shiest's new single, “So Loud.” It will be made immediately available on March 26 on many platforms for streaming and sale, including iTunes, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, Shiest City’s website, and more.

Shiest City is known for his nickname, “Brooklyn Swag.” After years of freestyling in New York City and throughout the East Coast rap scene, Shiest City has quickly made a name for himself and is eager to spread his message through his music. He has already been entertaining crowds in Flatbush for years and is excited to bring his music to a national audience.

Shiest City currently boasts an impressive library of mixed singles, including hits like, "Work," "Truffle Butter," "Politics," "Lie," "Checks," "Right Now," and many more. All released media can be viewed on the official SoundCloud for Shiest City.

“I see a great opportunity with Sheist City and his new hit 'So Loud' will show audiences that he has arrived on the scene. He is a hardworker, a talented artist who writes captivating lyrics, understands the industry, and is a professional all around. His hunger will take him far in the industry," said President Justin Novel of BoyzRecord.

“When looking at rappers, I seek someone who is coachable, a team player, open minded, determined, motivated, lyrically talented, and who understands the business. It was a pleasure working on 'So Loud' with Shiest City and we are extremely excited to release this new single," said Vice President Brianna Hetherington of BoyzRecord.

"Rapper Shiest City releases debut single ‘So Loud’"

The Brooklyn rapper known as Shiest City has released his official debut single, “So Loud.” The track has been proudly published on the Boyzrecord independent music label without the direction of the corporate music industry. Stylish, thumping and full of rhythm and groove, “So Loud” is a track which is already winning Shiest City fans from coast to coast.

Shiest City cites as main artistic influences Jay Z, Jadakiss, Fabolous, Vybz Kartel, Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. While he shares many qualities of these, his own sound is definitely unique, blending the island undertones of dancehall music with the old-school East Coast sound from which both hip hop and Shiest himself originally sprouted.

The rap artist has also been described as a lyricist who carefully sculpts his lines and rhymes into phrases which both achieve the sound he’s looking for and carry the precise meaning he’s aiming to communicate. His songs are more urban poetry than pop hip hop. They’re often narrative. “So Loud” is an example of both his skill at turning phrases and his talent for storytelling.

“The concept for ‘So Loud’ is based around a good girl gone bad,” writes Shiest City. “Many girls have a fantasy of a thug who can satisfy her through words and physically at the same time. When a woman finds herself in her ideal sexual fantasy, she tends to let herself go and not care if someone in the next room or the neighbors down the block hear her screams; she is just trapped in the moment. This isn’t a love story, just a casual encounter between two adults.”

An active live performer, Shiest City can frequently be found engaging in public freestyle battles at venues such as in Flatbush, Webster Hall, and on “The Star and Buc Wild Show” from New York City’s WWPR 105.1 FM.

Much of Shiest City’s musical, professional and personal character can be gleaned from hearing him speak about what he terms the “New York Mentality,” which he likens to a “Darwinian intellectual growth and artistry that only an East Coast rapper can understand.”

“We improve because we are forced to,” Shiest City has said of this. “It is with this mentality that New York has become great, and it is with this mentality that it will continue to be great. This mentality pervades every man, woman, and child in this city … Growing up in Flatbush gave me a musical education more than any school could.”

“So Loud” from Shiest City on the Boyzrecord label is available online worldwide now. Get in early, hip-hop fans.

"BOYZ RECORDS ARTIST SHIEST CITY RELEASES SECOND SINGLE - “LIFE LIKE THIS” FT. JADAKISS AND DYCE PAYNE"

Boyz Records and Shiest City are pleased to announce the worldwide release of Shiest City’s new single, “Life Like This,” featuring hip-hop icon Jadakiss and Dyce Payne, produced by Dayzel. It will be made immediately available on April 30, 2016 via iTunes, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, Shiest City’s official website, and more.







Shiest City brings his diverse and multicultural hip hop influences from Brooklyn, as he blends brass, percussion, multiple vocal tracks, and more in “Life Like This.” Shiest brings an original flair to all his music, which really shines in this new track. This track is designed to be a club popper and will be another memorable addition to his already impressive array of songs.




SingleArt


This track features iconic rapper Jadakiss, famous for his work with The LOX and for his hip-hop collective Ruff Ryders. His most recent album, “Top 5 Dead or Alive,” was released on November 20, 2015. He has been a mainstay in the rap industry since 1993 and continues to dominate the industry with his iconic vocals and sharp lyrics.


Shiest City’s previous hits include his most recently released track, “So Loud,” "Truffle Butter," "Work," "Politics," "Checks," "Lie," "Right Now," and more. All released media can be viewed on the official SoundCloud for Shiest City and through his YouTube channel.


“Life Like This” is a success anthem. It is a celebration song congratulating hard work and effort and the eventual pay off it comes with, as well as a lesson, showing haters and the unsuccessful how it feels to win, and why they should win more often. Songs like this are a rarity, due to their ability to connect with two vastly different types of audiences: those who are winning, and those who have yet to win.


“I wrote this song for all the winners and soon-to-be winners out there. It’s an anthem, a motivation song, to find your game and to reach for the top,” says Shiest City about the track.


Shiest City’s previous hit, “So Loud,” is about exceeding expectations between lovers when they meet and talks about the physical and mental connection between two people. The track talks about passion, how we lose ourselves in it, and how it is important to feel the moment while it is there.


Many girls have a fantasy of a thug that can satisfy her through words and physicality at the same time. When a woman finds herself in her ideal sexual fantasy, she tends to let herself go and not care if someone in the next room or the neighbors down the block hear her screams, she is just trapped in the moment.


BoyzRecords President Justin Novel believes “Life Like This” will be one of the best club hits of the year. “Life Like This is probably going to be one of the biggest and best hits. With Jadakiss’s experience and Dayzel producing, this track is going to be a club banger and all the hottest nightclubs and radio stations will be playing this repeatedly.” “The versatility that Shiest has to rap with any genre of music is ridiculous. EDM, classic blues, gangster rap, he does it all,” said Vice-President Briana Hetherington of BoyzRecords.

Bio

Boyz Records signed its first rapper, Shiest City, in January of this year. A rising star to Brooklyn’s hip-hop and rap scene, Shiest City’s voice is currently well known in that area. Boyz Records aims to push that worldwide.

Since discovering and honing his musical and lyrical talent and ability, Shiest City has appeared in many public freestyle battles in Flatbush, at Webster Hall, and on “The Star and Buc Wild Show” (WWPR-FM, 105.1 MHz) in New York City. No longer a solo performer, Shiest City has also been instrumental in forming Darksid3, his team, which plan to revolutionize and revive East Coast hip-hop. 

Shiest City has a local underground following in Flatbush, Brooklyn where he was born and raised, revelling in the underground music scene. His musical education took place on the streets and comprised of frequent rap battles and free-styling with fellow rappers. His musical influences include rap from the 1980s and 1990s, like LL Cool J and Biggie Smalls, two other New York rappers on the East Coast rap scene.

Shiest City has talked about a “New York Mentality” in the past, which fosters Darwinian “intellectual growth and artistry” that only an East Coast rapper can understand. To understand this mentality is to understand Shiest City’s demeanor, mindset, and ability. As he puts it, “[w]e improve because we are forced to. It is with this mentality that New York has become great, and it is with this mentality that it will continue to be great. This mentality pervades every man, woman, and child in this city...Growing up in Flatbush gave me a musical education more than any school could.” 

Also known as “Brooklyn Swag,” Shiest City definitely personifies this descriptor. Larger than life, and yet humble at the same time, Shiest City is not your usual rapper, and that is a good thing. Modern-day hip-hop and rap needs a revival, and Shiest, Brooklyn’s hottest new artist, may just be the answer. Boyz Records is pleased to have signed Shiest City, and is hopeful to see what he will accomplish under their banner.
