h5wk gives the trenches a banger w/ release “SHAKATHON PT2”

h5wk is one of those artists who has been steadily sharpening not only his sound, but also the way he shows up within Chicago’s music ecosystem. Throughout the year, he’s built real momentum by staying consistent with his releases, and this latest record is another reminder that he’s finding his lane. The track “SHAKATHON PT2” has a playful but powerful energy that immediately stands out. The production is clean, the melodies are memorable, and the overall vibe makes it an easy record to keep on repeat. h5wk continues to show growth with each release, and it’s exciting to watch him become more confident in his artistry..

If we had one critique, it would simply be that it’s time to put together a larger body of work. After dropping so many strong singles, we’d love to hear what a full EP or project from h5wk sounds like. He’s already proven he can create records that connect, and after recently performing at True Star Media’s From the Go Fest, it’s clear he’s ready to take the next step in his creative journey..
