Our Weekly segment The Weekly Eight returns with the new single, “Way Up,” by Baltimore rapper, singer and songwriter, SHDW. The song is featured on SHDW’s debut album, Earthtones & Greyscale.
“Way Up,” produced by Donato, is a melodious song filled with quotable lyrics, excellent wordplay, and diverse flows.
“The captivating tonal shifts between verses showcase SHDW’s contrasting introspections and rap ability.”
At a young age, SHDW was immersed in a culture of creativity. Writing helped him escape from the realities of financial struggles, the pains of a lack of self-worth and confidence. Rap quickly became cathartic for SHDW, who believes in making honest music; music that is true to his character and his perspective. Music that is multi-dimensional, that heavily leans on the hip hop genre but is not confined to it.

THE WEEKLY EIGHT INFO
Submission Sundays was a segment we introduced in 2018 to show love to the hundreds of artists and groups that submit new material to us weekly. The segment also gave us a chance to show love to people who weren’t already receiving regular coverage on HipHopCanada, and gave them a chance to connect with our viewers.
Towards the end of the year, we relaunched Submission Sundays as The Weekly Eight, with the same objective to help artists grow.
Each week, we’ll select 8 new submissions and feature them on our homepage for at least a 24 hour period.
To be considered for The Weekly Eight segment, please submit your content using our Submission Form. International submissions are welcome.
Please note, due to the volume of submissions we receive, we are unable to respond to each submission directly. Submissions with missing information will be deleted.
