Fresh off the release of his Verse 3: New Beginnings EP, Sarasota’s finest Shahid returns with another new visual for his Logic inspired freestyle, “Young Jesus.” Flowing effortlessly over production from 6ix, Shahid holds his city down with some heavy bars on the track. In his own words, this is what he had to say about the cut:
“There’s a lot going on in Sarasota right now. Even though it’s known for retirees, there’s a lot of young people moving in and the energy is starting to change. You know, the same thing that’s starting to happen in a lot of small cities around the country. I truly believe Sarasota is up next though; as far as the the talent and the music scene, because it’s such a beautiful place. My last visual “#SarasotaSound” hyped up the city. However, everything isn’t so perfect. It’s a sweet & sometimes sour place. Remixing Logic’s song felt fitting for some things that I’ve had on my mind and wanted to speak out about pertaining to my city, and I’m sure anybody can relate. Oh, and “Young Jesus” was just a bold way of saying, Hi Hip-Hop, Shahid is here.”
Don’t sleep on Shahid! Check out the new visual above.
