Shaboozey talks 'A Bar Song (Tipsy),' working with Beyoncé on 'Cowboy Carter' and more in a new interview.
artist is — perhaps for the first time — reflecting on how he arrived at this point in his career. Not only has the buzzy 29-year-old been working in music for nearly a decade, but a recent assist from Beyoncé helped spark a career-shifting breakout moment of his own.Even though his Bey-assisted breakout was unveiled first, Shaboozey suspects his solo track was the reason he was featured onat all.
“I had been wanting to flip a 2000s song for a while,” Shaboozey says, noting Petey Pablo’s “Raise Up” was also in the running. “I just said, ‘Everybody at the bar getting tipsy,’ and then we were like, ‘Oh, sh-t!’ The producer picked up the guitar and started playing the chords, and then we started writing, just having fun and being creative.”According to Shaboozey, J-Kwon is “more excited” about the song than he is.
An artist who cartwheels across country, hip-hop, rock and R&B, Shaboozey is a product of the melting pot that is Virginia. Born Collins Chibueze in the northern part of the state to Nigerian parents, his earliest musical memory is listening to Juvenile’s “Back That Azz Up,” along with a healthy dose of Kenny Rogers and Garth Brooks that his father would play.
