The young drill rap prodigy Sha EK had a hot year with his debut album Face of The What? landing number one on Billboard’s Heatseeker’s chart. In 2022, Sha placed himself as one of the emerging faces of the drill rap scene with the debut album and a three-pack he released in November. The two prior projects created anticipation for him to close out the year with Return of The Jiggy.
The fourteen-track project picks up where his three-pack release left off by covering his self-awareness and newfound success. On “Losin My Mind,” he raps about how rapping saved him and sees that a label signing him placed him on a better path in life. His success in music helped alleviate past traumas from surviving on the block.
On “Been Through,” Sha Ek gets vulnerable about how much he misses his father in the hook of the song and realizes the power of the position he’s in at this point of his career. He raps “I feel like I got to tell my story, look what I become, we’re forgiven but we never be forgetting where I’m from…” Sha went from an unpredictable life and the stressors of the streets to making his family proud by pursuing music.
