New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The 21-year-old rapper Shareef releases his new single "TNT" via Universal Music. This marks his second new release of the year, following his debut single "OMG! Freestyle," which was an immediate showcase of Shareef's superstar potential, witty bars, and quick-paced flows.
Alongside "TNT," the rising rap star also releases two new songs today: "Dominican" and "Type Shii." The former highlights his melodic versatility, and the latter is a percussion-driven Jersey Club-influenced track that Shareef seamlessly slides on with fun, confident, and stylish lyrics.
"TNT" is written by Shareef and produced by FTP and Peradise5. The rising rap star assertively starts the song with a statement that he's going to "walk on the beat," which is precisely what he does. Throughout the two-minute runtime, he taps into his zone and unlocks boastful new flows, rapping, "I came out of nowhere, blowing up just like a TNT" and "All of the sh-t I be rocking is flawless, gave me her number but I didn't call it."
About the new single, Shareef says, "Been working on this record for a while and can't wait for y'all to hear it. It's about to be scary."
The Sudanese Canadian rapper's captivating personality shines through in all three new tracks, which draw particular attention to his ear for strong production. "Dominican" is written by Shareef and produced by Snapp Beats. "Type Shii" is written by Shareef and co-produced by FTP, Peradise5, Ethan Frost, and Festiv3.
On "Dominican," Shareef adds, "This is one of my favourite records I've made and I'm excited to share it with the world." About "Type Shii," he says, "I wanted to show my fans how versatile I can be."
Earlier this month, Shareef made his Canadian
Music Week debut with an energetic performance at El Mocambo for The Feldman Agency alongside artists including King Cruff,
Sebastian Gaskin, and more. On June 16, he continues to showcase his live performance with a support slot on 24kGoldn's Growing Pains tour stop in Toronto at
