Danielle Balbuena's sweeping masterpiece cements her place as one of the most fearless and innovative artists of her generation. This towering statement stands alongside classics like Bon Iver's 22, A Million, Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and Pink Floyd's The Wall. Those who dismiss it as overblown miss the point entirely. Shake's baroque excess isn't indulgent; it's an immersive experience - a sensory journey and an emotional epic that demands listeners surrender to its staggering production.
A home to some of music's most eclectic tastemakers, New Jersey is a state that nurtures its regenerative formula. Amongst those challenging the status quo of rap, 070 Shake rises to the occasion with her extraterrestrial vision, a bountiful force equipped with blockbuster soundscapes and a gritty, evocative pen. Making her debut in 2016, the songstress has approached each milestone with precision, famously signing to Kanye West's G.O.O.D Music two weeks after openly asserting: it was them or nothing.
