The rapper and performer of hip hop
known as King Shabazz has released his latest official single, “My
Day.” The single has been produced by Chill and released as an
independent track outside the influence of the corporate music
industry. Inspirational, heavy-hitting, and performed to a laid-back
back beat that's full of groove and bass, “My Day” is the King
Shabazz single his fans have been clamoring for.
Asked to cite some main artistic
influences, King Shabazz lays down a personal Top 10.
He writes, “My active artist
influences are 50 Cent, Drake, Lecrae, Talib Kweli, Trip Lee, Aloe
Blacc, Usher, Chris Brown, Lupe Fiasco, and Mega Ran.”
Shabazz's own sound takes cues from
each of these and mixes them into a new style of hip hop, one which
has a uniquely East-Coast sound. Of particular importance to “My
Day” are King Shabazz's lyrics, which the artist meticulously
crafts into his signature brand of urban poetry.
“My song is meant to inspire and
motivate those who listen to it to get up, believe in themselves, and
go get what they want,” writes King Shabazz. “I want those who
listen to learn not to waste any day because life is too short and we
all have the power to make our day as great or as horrible as we
choose.”
King Shabazz hails from Laurens, SC,
and has been called “The Hip-Hop Traveler.” Shabazz penned his
first song at the age of 12 and has previously performed under the
“Soull Tha Phenom” alias as well as his real name, Rassoull
Shabazz. Shabazz published his first unofficial album, “A.U.E.
Presents… Arts & Dreams” in 2013, followed by a second
unofficial album, “C.A.S.H.” in 2014. Several mixtapes have also
been released from the artist over the years.
Shabazz has been featured on the PBS
Kids network (Ball State University's Electronic Field Trip, “Going
Going Faster”), in Makin' It Magazine, and on Wolfpack Ent.
Blogtalk Radio. His latest mixtape, “Take the Throne” stems from
the same principles which inform his new “My Day” single. His
current official bio places him in Okinawa, Japan, “grinding hard,
traveling, and performing for the local citizens of the Island,”
explaining that “Shabazz aims to empower listeners with the ability
to believe in themselves, help others, have fun, and never give up.”
“My aim is to travel the world doing
what I love and to inspire as many people as possible to do the
same,” writes King Shabazz.
Since 2013 Shabazz has traveled to six
countries and is planning to perform in the United Kingdom next.
“My Day” by King Shabazz is
