The Punjabi hitmaker kicks into top gear on his debut album

In 2021, Shubh emerged straight outta Brampton (Ontario) with “We Rollin”, a heavily streamed salvo that instantly elevated him to the position of Canada’s foremost Punjabi hip-hop star. This debut mini-album offers an unsubtle status update: Still Rollin doesn’t stray too far from the formula that put Shubh on the global rap map, its minimalist, frosty beats and atmospheric guitar/synth melodies clearing a path for a restless flow that bridges the gap between India and Atlanta. And even if you’re not versed in Shubh’s native tongue, the raw swagger of tracks like “Ice” and “OG” speaks for itself.
