Morning After Morning, the newest single from ShaoDow featuring long time friend and collaborator Abiade is a lyrical skill lesson. With bars, flows and quotables the two MCs grabbed a banger and went HAM just because they can.
The not quite Hip Hop, not quite Grime production comes from subwoofer shaking veteran Phase 2 whilst back up is provided in the form of a definitely Grime remix from J‑Fresh that is sure to be a reliable weapon in any urban selector’s arsenal. “I’m a lyricist first, always have been, always will be. Making full on songs is fun, but sometimes I just want to go in and remind a dude that Shao can spit. I’ve known Abs since college days, we were messing about, rapping and trying to avoid a boring life back then, I guess in some ways we still are. This track is really just two good friends just doing what we love and what we’re dope at.” Morning After Morning ft. Abiade is taken from ShaoDow’s 3rd album シャウ道 。The Way Of Shao with features from Papoose, Krizz Kaliko (Strange Music), McLean, Dot Rotten, Genesis Elijah, Durrty Goodz and Serocee. The single will be released on Spotify, Apple Music, ShaoDow’s own website and all good download sites on (decide on release date). The official music video, a high-energy fusion of martial arts and movement will première on ShaoDow’s Vevo channel on (decide on date).
