Shaggadelic | “MOON,” Versatile, Suave Bars
Rap Fiesta is hyped to introduce you to Shaggadelic (also known as Shagg) and his latest album, “MOON.” The confident, smooth-moving rapper drops bars on all eight tracks of the project. Top to bottom, “MOON” is a unique, hard-hitting project highlighting the creative reach Shagg is capable of.
Shaggadelic was born and raised in New Orleans, one of the country’s music powerhouses. The up-and-coming artist attests he has been involved in and surrounded by music his entire life. And various members of his family are well-known in the New Orleans area for their creative musical gifts.
Therefore, it’s no surprise Shagg has inherited this creative touch, pouring it into everything he makes. And trust us, “MOON” is the epitome of carefully crafted music. Shagg ensured every detail involved in the album was perfect, and it shows.
Shagg’s stage name originates from a nickname given to him during his freshman year of college. Friends claimed the rapper reminded them of Shaggy from Scooby Doo, and the name just stuck. From that point on, the stage name “Shagg” fit the rapper’s style.
“MOON” features some truly incredible beats that you can’t help but love. What’s impressive about Shagg is that he produced the entire album. Not only are the bars cold, but the beats are on the same elevated level.
I produce all of my own records because I am a musician first and foremost, so it’s always hands-on with the music first, Shagg.
One of the rhythms that caught our attention immediately was the beat featured in “GO.” This energetic song instantly floods your ears with a jumpin’ beat. A spirited, high-pitched melody and commanding bass pattern flood the song with electricity.
Bringing a little more to “GO” are Shaggadelic’s bars and an addicting chorus. From start to finish, the rising rapper lays down some suave bars that land in your eardrums with a different kind of energy. Drawing you in even more is the hook. You can’t help but head bop and sing along with Shagg as he sings the chorus in “GO.”
Top to bottom, Shagg’s “MOON” is on another level. The rapper displays incredible amounts of creativity and musical versatility. It’s almost impossible to pick a favorite song from the album because each one is just as incredible as the last.
Make sure you follow Shaggadelic on Instagram if you want more of his wavy vibes coming your way. The gifted artist has several projects in the works that you wanna be aware of! One action Shagg is taking is participating in more music festivals, like the L.O.C.A.L.S’ Fest in Louisiana.
Also, Shagg aims to start another music festival centered around hip-hop and EDM artists. Who knows, we might even get more music from Shaggedelic this year.
