TiaCorine Drops Video For “Shamone”
On the fast track towards a major breakthrough, genre-bending hip-hop phenomenon TiaCorine unleashes the slick and scorching new music video for “Shamone” out now via Interscope Records. Watch the music video HERE. It graces the tracklisting of her tastemaker-approved new Almost There EP—out now
A two-minute burst of braggadocios bravado, “Shamone” spotlights TiaCorine’s bulletproof bars and fiery flow front-and-center. 808s rattle through shaky synths, and she warns, “I’m still never gonna pick up.” In the accompanying Moshpxt directed visual, she descends upon the desert. Letters spell out “The End of the World” in the sand, and this hip-hop femme fatale proceeds to body the beat with the force of an apocalyptic event. An outfit change and a smoke break gives way to a final scene of TiaCorine against the backdrop of a setting sun, donning fur, rapping unapologetically with confidence.
Earlier this year, she ignited the Almost There EP. The stadnout “Yung Joc” [feat. Luh Tyler] reeled in over a million streams and counting as the project garnered critical acclaim. Rolling Stone spoke to her for an in-depth interview, and The FADER applauded how the “Almost There EP highlights just how far her chameleonic versatility can stretch.” HotNewHipHop noted, “Almost There is a compelling snapshot of TiaCorine’s current artistic state.” Following the EP release, she went on her debut headline tour hitting New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, her home state of North Carolina and more.
Her critically acclaimed full-length debut album, I Can’t Wait, led by its breakout track, “FreakyT”, inspired a viral dance trend in route to amassing 60 million views on TikTok, over 50 million streams, and soaring up the Urban Mainstream Chart and Billboard’s Hip Hop/R&B’s Chart. Tia continued her fiery momentum into 2023 by being named an ‘Artist to Watch’ by Rolling Stone, COMPLEX, Pigeons & Planes, Zane Low, PopSugar, OkayPlayer, Our Generation Music, and One37PM; while having her track co-signed by Drake, Flo-Milli, the late-great Gangsta Boo, and more. She went on to perform at major festivals including Dreamville Festival, Rolling Loud Miami, Day N Vegas, and Rolling Loud NYC, and has recently been lighting stages on fire as direct support for Key Glock’s multi-city ‘Glockoma’ Tour.
