Before releasing his self-titled EP, ShaqIsDope, the Toronto rapper has steadily released new tracks to keep his fans’ thirst quenched such as “Falls Down,” and “Falling (Freestyle).” This week, SID returns with his latest offering “King Push.” In the song, ShaqIsDope pays homage to Pusha T, naming the track after the rapper and also drops a notable album title in a punchline. Push T’s ad-libs float seamlessly in the backdrop of the hook, while ShaqIsDope delivers his nimble flow over woozy production. With his long-awaited EP finally coming together, you can listen to “King Push” exclusively on the FADER right now.
TiKA speaking some truth on a brand new single called “All Day All Night”. Nice!
I wanted to touch on the fact that no matter what is happening within our world, Black Womxn do not get the permission to heal before enduring triggering + racialized experiences that fuel ongoing trauma.
I hope this song inspires the Indigos of the world to continue creating, fighting, speaking, and loving one another.
Thank you to Erica Garner who helped to inspire this song. Keep fighting, Sis. We got you.

I’m free. We’re free.
#BlackLivesMatter. Always.
