LISTEN: SHYSTIE RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE ‘STOP’

One of East London’s original and most well respected female MC’s Shystie returns with her brand new track ‘Stop’, which features vocalist Jalissa with possibly the catchiest hook of 2014 so far.

Produced by Deanyboy and sampling the classic 60’s track of the same name by The Supremes, the piano riff and the big-bass-filled drum beat draws on influences reminiscent of 90’s dance classics and Shystie’s trademark flow and vocal ability top the track off with a refreshing slice of 2014 rawness. Shystie has always been known for her deep lyrics and ‘Stop’ is no exception with Shystie proclaiming,

“But these are the times that you gotta dig deep for your strength that’s inside/never give up, never give in, never hide/you’re stronger than you know it and it’s all in your mind”

‘Stop’ is the first track to be taken from her forthcoming EP, Exhalation, which is scheduled for release in November 2014 and if this is a sign of what we can expect from it then the end of the year could be a very exciting one indeed for Shystie! Watch this space!
