Low and high-key? The song really goes super hard but let’s take a moment to show major love to Shady Blu and 03 Greedo for coming through with a super fire ‘No Use’ anthem with must-see artwork.

The tune is already in the Top 50 Must-Hear songs playlists on the homepage but looking at the imagery? I am sold. Peep the details and enjoy the record while losing yourself in the artwork.

Quickly rising West Coast artist Shady Blureleases her latest track titled "No Use" featuring fellow West Coast rapper 03Greedo today. With its captivating West Coast-inspired soundscape, "No Use" follows the success of Shady Blu's previous release, "Hoedown," which garnered attention last month.  As a rising female voice in hip-hop, Shady Blu has consistently collaborated with some of the most talented rappers from the West Coast, including Zoe Osama and now Greedo.  "No Use" showcases her unique style and further establishes her as a prominent artist in the genre.

These two new tracks are just the beginning of Shady Blu's exciting musical journey this summer, which will culminate in a larger project. Earlier this year, she made a powerful debut with her EP Topic Of Discussion, which received critical acclaim from publications such as ComplexHot New Hip HopHipHopDx, and Ones To Watch. She also collaborated with Babyface Ray on the title track of the project.  Produced by NoName's in-house producer Weston, yaboyNOIS as well as Bankroll Got It and mixed by Grammy Award-winning engineer MixedByAli, the EP showcased Shady Blu's signature sound and captivated new audiences.

Shady Blu's talent has not gone unnoticed, as she received a major cosign from legendary rapper Snoop Dogg, further solidifying her position as the artist to watch from Long Beach, CA. In 2022, Shady Blu signed a new partnership deal with MixedByAli's NoName Recordings and Interscope Records, as announced by Billboard.  Shady Blu's dedication to crafting atmospheric music that combines her expressive vocals with introspective lyrics has resonated with fans. Her music serves as a soundtrack for the aspirational and the misunderstood, creating a unique listening experience that transports listeners into her world.
