Shaboozey, has made an indelible mark on the music scene this year. His hit single "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" not only topped the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive nineteen weeks but also became the longest-running number-one song ever, tying with Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road." This achievement alone is a testament to his talent and appeal, but Shaboozey didn't stop there. He also contributed to Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" album, which celebrates Black country musicians, and received six Grammy nominations, including Song of the Year and Best Country Song. His ability to blend hip-hop, country, rock, and Americana into a unique sound has captivated audiences and critics alike, making him a standout artist of the year.
Shaboozey's impact extends beyond his musical achievements. He has been a vocal advocate for diversity and inclusion in country music, a genre that has historically been less welcoming to Black artists. By breaking barriers and achieving mainstream success, he has paved the way for future artists and challenged the industry to be more inclusive. His presence at the CMAs, despite facing microaggressions, highlighted the systemic issues within the music industry and underscored his resilience and commitment to change. Shaboozey's contributions to music and his advocacy for equality make him a deserving candidate for TRCOAs Artist Pick of the Month.
