By featuring in the Bollywood movie “Gully Boy”, and providing rap fillers for the movie “Street Dancer 3D", Shaikhspeare has added more feathers to his cap. With his debut album "Shaikh Them" released in 2019 & with the introduction of his alter ego "Shaikh The Don" ,his musical journey has been on a roll and the outcome has been some outstanding collaborations and songs released both independently and through record label such as Sony music.
Currently he is working on his EP and sophomore album which will be dropping sooner.
His new drop "Chalne De" is a track that talks about being progressive regardless of the changed time or people. Set up on a bouncy trap instrumental, the hard-hitting Hindi lyrics laced with Mumbai slang makes it a song that can make the new age hip-hop listeners groove to it and play on repeat.
Quote by Shaikh The Don
“The idea about making the song with this theme came during lockdown as the situation for people, especially artists, has really been quite tough and I just wanted to tell them and myself to keep going on regardless of the changed times and hence Chalne De."
