Shab and Fat Joe Join Forces to Reinvent Hip Hop Classic

This is one of the most ICONIC drops we’ve seen this year. Shab and Fat Joe just teamed up to deliver the reinvented version of the classic Hip Hop hit “Lean Back.” The single is called “Voodoo,” and has been reimagined by the truly talented artist Shab – breathing new life into this legendary single.

Shab’s brilliance shines through in her innovative approach. Unlike most artists who would hesitate to touch a song of this stature, Shab fearlessly tackled the challenge, with a reboot that is just as danceable as the original, complemented by a sound that’s perfect for 2023. Skillfully produced by GRAMMY and ASCAP award-winning Producer Damon Sharpe (Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande, Pitbull, Kelly Rowland, Kylie Minogue) and Eric Sanicola with arrangement by Duke Richmond. What’s even more awe-inspiring is that this is the first time “Lean Back” has ever been cleared as an interpolation, elevating the significance of this collaboration to an entirely new level of iconic.

We can’t ignore the significance of having the original artist, Fat Joe, himself appear on the single AND in the accompanying video directed by Shab’s longtime visionary director Eli Sokhn. It is a testament to Shab’s artistry and musical prowess that she was not only able to gain Fat Joe’s approval but also convinced him to lend his voice to the track. This milestone is a momentous achievement in the world of Hip Hop, further establishing Shab’s position as a rising star to watch out for.

Fat Joe himself expressed his admiration for Shab’s talent, “Shab is a super-talented artist with a bright future. It was dope to collaborate with her on ‘VooDoo’ and I look forward to watching her career elevate to the next level.”

When asked about her feelings after achieving such a significant milestone, Shab said, “I remember how nightclubs would come alive whenever the ‘Lean Back’ beat would drop – and to think that years later I would be working with the legendary Fat Joe is amazing to me.”

With over 7 million streams on Spotify and an astounding 20 million on YouTube, it is undeniable that Shab is becoming one of the most influential artists in the world. Her rise to the mainstream is well-deserved, and her collaboration with Fat Joe only solidifies her artistry standing out in this over-saturated market.
