Black Vinyl LP

Determined to carve his own lane in the Alt-Country/Hip-Hop space, Shaboozey crafts a sound that pays homage to a cast of traditional Western influences (Bob Dylan, Lead Belly, Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen), while looking into the future of what the two genres have yet to introduce. Remaining true to his Virginia roots, Shaboozey hopes to continue the region’s long-standing tradition of producing some of the most prolific creatives of the new millennium — this time through elevating the scope of contemporary hip-hop and introducing a modern Americana culture to a global audience.

Fresh off his featured stint on Beyoncé’s groundbreaking Cowboy Carter album, of which he was the only featured artist to appear twice, Shaboozey’s debut has been years in the making. Thanks to the infectious singalong anthem, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” millions of streams and non-stop appearances on TV, Shaboozey is set to become the new face of modern American country music.

Says Shaboozey of the new album: “This album means the world to me; it’s a reflection of my journey and the stories that shaped me. Growing up in Virginia, music was our way of speaking truths and finding joy, and I tried to capture that in every track. It’s a blend of all my experiences, the highs, the lows and everything in between. I hope when y’all listen, you feel that same connection and authenticity. It’s not just an album; it’s a piece of my soul, and I’m grateful to share it with you.”
