Shy Glizzy Unveils Visual For New Single “Lonley Vibes”

Following over 100 million streams and widespread critical acclaim from Pitchfork, The FADER, and more, GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum Washington, D.C. rapper Shy Glizzy returned with a timely new single entitled “Lonely Vibes,” this past Friday and on Tuesday (April 14), he revealed the visual.

Over glitchy cinematic production, the artist’s instantly recognizable voice takes hold. Claustrophobic verses practically collide with a hard-hitting, yet hypnotic hook. These “Lonely Vibes” might just provide the perfect antidote to quarantine isolation. It’s catchy, cathartic, and classic Shy Glizzy. 

The past decade of DMV rap belonged to Shy Glizzy. Over the course of a slew of singles, mixtapes, and the critically praised full-length Fully Loaded, he has posted up 100 million-plus total streams and even notched a co-sign from Beyoncé, who bopped to “Awwsome” in 2015 at Global Citizen Festival. He also garnered a GRAMMY® Award nod for appearing on Goldlink’s triple-platinum “Crew.” His bold and bruising lyricism continues to incite tastemaker applause. Of his 2019 project Covered N’ Blood,  Pitchfork commented, “As with all of his best work, the D.C. rapper’s latest finds him grappling with trauma, haunted by the specter of death at every turn.” Meanwhile, The Washington Post has applauded his “artfully pressurized style of mouth-music that keeps you listening close, with every syllable prompting a balancing act in your brain.” The FADER has even called his hooks “silky smooth.” All signs point to the next decade of the DMV belonging to him as well.

Be on the lookout for more music from Shy Glizzy very soon.
