Shay D - Cold World (Single)

North London rapper Shay D has announced details of forthcoming album Speaking In Tongues and dropped new single ‘Cold World’, out now.

Propelled by a punchy, bassline-driven production courtesy of Filthy Gears, ‘Cold World’ is an ode to the streets and doing what you need to do to get by. It marks Shay D’s third single release in quick succession, following on from last month’s ‘Best Shot’ featuring South East London rapper Lioness and Luton artist Dibo, and ‘Slice Of Pie’ featuring grime legend P Money, a track that drew support from BBC Radio 1’s Tiffany Calver, BBC Radio 1XTRA’s Sir Spyro and KISS FM’s Rudekid. All three singles will feature on Speaking In Tongues, set to be released on 6th August. The 14-track LP will also feature Capo Lee, RoxXxan, Isaiah Dreads and more.

“I was sitting in a supermarket car park, waiting for my mum when Filthy Gears sent me this beat!” Shay D enthuses. “I played it so loud in the whip and just started freestyling! This beat brought out a raw, aggy side of me and I just went in. I love to RAP rap. Like just raw spitting and I got to do this. It's actually one of my favourite tracks on the album! I got to sing on the hook to just give it some haunting vibes and I really enjoy listening to this. ‘Cold world we living in, we take losses just to win again.’
