Sha Ek: Last News

Chicago rapper Lil Zay Osama has joined Bronx emcee Sha EK for a remix of the latter artist’s “Never Want To Be Them.” The original song — a cut from Sha’s 2022 LP, Face of the What — is an unadulterated dose of New York drill built an a positively evil-sounding beat by 083Chee. And Zay’s quick cameo on “Never Want To Be Them Pt.

Kyle Eustice Rolling Loud New York is scheduled to take place at Citi Field in Queens, New York this weekend, but three drill rappers initially expected to perform have been axed from the lineup. At the request of Mayor Eric Adams and the New York City Police Department, Bronx native Sha Ek, Brooklyn’s 22Gz and Ron Suno, another Bronx-born rapper, won’t be allowed to participate in what has become one of the biggest rap festivals in the country based on a potential for violence. Speaking to Variety, Sha Ek’s manager, Stanley “Noodles” Davis, was baffled by the NYPD’s decision, especially since his client has no criminal history. As he pointed out, the Warner Music Group signee has changed his life around. He recently landed at No. 1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart and was able to buy his first house. Davis said when Ek got the news, it was “pure devastation.”
