Shojizero – Not Hiiiii Enough

Bounding in with his first release of the year, the ever-elusive ShojiZero is haunting on the new drop ‘Not Hiiiii Enough’.

Boasting a broody, trap-Esque rhythm lined with heavy bass hits and a hint of metal flair, the New Jersey-based rapper delivers a track that is ominous, exciting, and entirely unique. Produced by frocious, its gritty rhythm and quick flow changes keep you on your feet, a signature element of ShojiZero’s work. The sinister sound samples reflect the lyrical narrative, which is one of rampant illicit activity due to inflated egos, and how being overly confident can often do more bad than good. “If you follow the lyrics, it tells a pretty violent story” ShojiZero explains, “There’s a shooting involved, drug dealing, and some pretty graphic stuff. My overall purpose with this song is to warn younger people of becoming too confident. Don’t get me wrong, confidence is essential for many things in life. But too many people today think that they’re greater than themselves and that they’re above the natural way of things. “Not Hiiiii Enough” is basically a song about people who pretend to be something they’re not, and it gets the best of them. Average high school and college-aged kids love to act like famous rappers, celebrities, and mobsters when they couldn’t be further from that. Some people simply don’t know how to be humble and I feel like that is a major contributor to the many social issues that we face today. As a young, independent artist the last thing I want to do is continue to promote this blindly arrogant mindset.

Always working on his craft, there is nothing more exciting in the world to ShojiZero than music. His aptitude for bold instrumentals and addictive melodies borrow from a wide range of genres, yet his clever approach to structure switches them into something that is entirely his own. After beginning to write at the age of 14, he has performed in countless local bands, including his current band The Last Martyr, and also dropped his debut EP ‘Leo Season’ last year, which features his biggest hit to date ‘Six Six Six’, racking up over 16,000 streams on Spotify. Focusing on the underbelly of society and the struggle of mental health as the inspiration for his bars, his immeasurable talent at the age of just 21 is sure to develop into an artist who will stand the test of time.

A producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, ShojiZero is a triple threat too good to ignore.

After that period, the artist is expected to regain more freedom, though the exact terms of his release remain undisclosed. This development marks a major milestone for NBA YoungBoy, whose legal battles have made frequent headlines in recent years.

Despite the challenges, his dedicated supporters have stayed loyal, eagerly awaiting his comeback.

Skai Jackson Shuts Down Skin Tone Criticism, Defends Her Baby with Grace

HonkMagazine

In the age of constant online scrutiny, actress Skai Jackson proves motherhood comes with fierce protection and powerful lessons. After welcoming her baby boy, Kasai, in January, Jackson found herself facing unnecessary and hurtful commentary about his complexion. Some social media users questioned why her son appeared “too pale,” but the 21-year-old star didn’t hesitate to address the ignorance head-on. “Just because a baby is a month, two months, even three months… that does not mean the melanin has fully kicked in,” Jackson explained in a calm but firm response on Instagram. “Some babies are just light-skinned, which is okay!”

Her words carried the voice of a protective mother and a clear reminder of the complexities of genetics and skin tone. While criticism is nothing new for public figures, Jackson drew a firm line regarding her child. “I usually don’t care what people say about me,” she admitted. “But talking about someone’s child? That’s mean!” She reminded her followers that commenting on a child’s appearance is unnecessary and deeply hurtful. “I think y’all need to stop making comments about people’s children because it’s not cool at all, and y’all wouldn’t like it if somebody did it to you!”

In a decision many mothers can understand, Skai Jackson announced that she would no longer be sharing photos of Kasai, at least for the time being. While fans may miss the sweet glimpses of her baby boy, Jackson’s priority is protecting her son’s peace. Her message serves as a wake-up call to online communities, highlighting the need for empathy and kindness, especially regarding children. As a young mother navigating both parenthood and public scrutiny, Jackson’s unwavering response reflects her strength and wisdom. By shutting down the negativity with grace, she sets an example for others facing similar criticism.
