Following the success of “Coal & Bones” earlier this month, Denver-based artist Malak Shalom, known as Shavirus, returns with another genre-bending release “Belly Jelly.” Fusing country instrumentation with hip-hop swagger, Shavirus continues to pioneer his self-coined sound, hick-hop, and carve a unique lane in the modern rap landscape.
Opening with an inviting guitar-led melody, “Belly Jelly” quickly transitions into a bluesy, percussion-heavy anthem filled with sharp wordplay and effortless groove. It’s a fun, cinematic ride that blends Southern energy, rap poetry, and storytelling into something both nostalgic and fresh.
Speaking on the single, Shalom explains: “‘Belly Jelly’ is another fun, fresh masterpiece a funky mix of country and rap that puts you on the offroads, bouncing in a cool ride.”
With influences ranging from Lauryn Hill to Bruce Springsteen, Shavirus continues to push boundaries, transforming personal growth and spirituality into sonic innovation.
