2023 is still in its early stages, but it’s already exciting to see new artists come up in the scene. California-based artist Shady Blu just dropped “Topic of Discussion” with Babyface Ray, after last year’s breakout single “Jealousy.” Moreover, she delivered a confident and uniquely animated performance over a glistening beat.
Back in 2021, Blu signed to MixedByAli’s label NoName Recordings, in partnership with Interscope. While she’s just getting started in the industry, Ali heard her music and has worked with her a lot since then. Moreover, some of his most notable credits include ScHoolboy Q, Kendrick Lamar, and Nipsey Hussle. What’s more is that West Coast legend Snoop Dogg gave Blu a cosign just about a week ago.
Furthermore, the Long Beach native will drop her debut EP Topic of Discussion on February 6th. Moreover, the project is executive produced by MixedByAli and will feature compelling blends of hip-hop and R&B. Even with this one track, that description seems fitting. “Topic of Discussion” features a sharp but quick rhythm that contrasts engagingly with the shimmery, bright keys in the background. Even though the beat is slightly odd given that contrast, Blu’s expressive vocals blend with it to create something charming.

Cmon
Niggas wishin I would fall. Watch me take off like a rocket
Never knock it, chase the bread until the cheese is in my pocket
You didn’t know that I would call, oh you must not know the government
Putting on a show for all the hoes I know they loving it
Who ever said we wasn’t it? They know who run it
If I want it then I’m taking shit, ain’t no debating it
But switching up the subject I’m the topic of discussion
Came from nothing, want it all they know I’m leaving out with something
Run it, run it, run it up
Too busy jiggin on a bitch
Ain’t never worried about her, grinding til the sun is up
Turn it up, we wake the city up
I need it all and I don’t care that’s how it’s meant to be
They wasn’t playing for, can’t let it get to me
I’m out here wilding, got em begging me to show out
Ain’t know that I was known to up the digit it’s a blow out
Bread in my pocket, It’s set and it’s stone
If it ain’t bout the money get on
Chase that check, never care what they on
Got these niggas wishing I would
Niggas wishin I would fall. Watch me take off like a rocket
Never knock it, chase the bread until the cheese is in my pocket
You didn’t know that I would call, oh you must not know the government
Putting on a show for all the hoes I know they loving it
Who ever said we wasn’t it? They know who run it
If I want it then I’m taking shit, ain’t no debating it
But switching up the subject I’m the topic of discussion
Came from nothing, want it all they know I’m leaving out with something
Oh you wishing I would fall huh, don’t wait on that
Cause I’m turnt, you say you love me, won’t say it back
I’m a thoroughbred, hate me, but you wanna be just like me
What ya girl said, I don’t bang, but the blues on me
And I’m pouring red, fuck and get the boot like I’m, like I’m Dora friend
Say it’s natural, must be, must be cornbread
The coupe so futuristic, gotta be Tech savvy
No I don’t work out now, but I be flexing heavy
Necklace heavy, reach I teach you something I got steppers ready
She wanna stick with me, cause I ain’t never petty
Hot girl, but I’m cold-hearted
The line to get to me look like chrome hearts
You gotta face it
Lil shady made for greatness
Real paper chaser
Aint worries bout no hater
Niggas wishin I would fall. Watch me take off like a rocket
Never knock it, chase the bread until the cheese is in my pocket
You didn’t know that I would call, oh you must not know the government
Putting on a show for all the hoes I know they loving it
Who ever said we wasn’t it? They know who run it
If I want it then I’m taking shit, ain’t no debating it
But switching up the subject I’m the topic of discussion
Came from nothing, want it all they know I’m leaving out with something
(Leave out, I’m leaving out with something)
