Baltimore artist Shordie Shordie returns today with an intimate new single “Specific.” The new track features Nuance cover star Blxst, a rising hip-hop artist and producer out of LA who has taken the industry by storm. This is Shordie’s first solo music since his February project with Murda Beatz, Memory Lane.
To coincide with the release of the track, Shordie Shordie and BLXST also shared a video inspired by young love. The schoolyard clip features the duo hanging in a classroom, while Shordie embraces his love, peeks at his neighbor’s test, and doodles in a notebook. BLXST sets himself up on the bleachers before the two MCs notice something wrong and chaos ensues.
“Specific” continues a hot streak for Shordie Shordie. It arrives on the heels of his winning feature on Atlanta rapper Loui’s “Don’t Play,” which itself follows Memory Lane, a collaboration with Murda Beatz that showcased an almost telepathic connection. Before that project, Shordie released his 2020 mixtape >Music, which garnered acclaim from Pitchfork, The FADER, Complex, XXL, and more. With over 732M streams, Shordie Shordie has been untouchable of late, and with “Specific,” he's made that clear.
