Today (2/20/2025), published author, motivational speaker, business owner, spoken word poet, and native North Carolinian Robin “Sh8kes” Williamson shares his poignant new single “Move On”. Produced by Skii, and featuring a guest verse from the Bay Area’s own The Grouch of Living Legends. The song serves as Sh8kes’ first new release since his 2024 EP Necessary Pain.
“This track is about the value and power in letting go and moving on. Sometimes that’s hard to do because of the love you might have for someone, but there comes a time when we start to become harmful to ourselves with resentment. I had to learn this the hard way. It’s usually best to just let go and move on before you start to become a burden to yourself. By letting go, you make room for relationships that inspire growth, opportunities that align with your purpose, and love that nurtures your soul. It’s a bold leap into a life where you no longer settle for less but strive for the best version of yourself… I wrote and recorded this poem almost three years ago. Around this time, DJ Fresh introduced me to The Grouch. I had been a fan of his and Murs for as long as I could remember, so I asked him if he could add a verse to the record and he was more than happy to. Originally, the record had a different instrumental produced by my little brother. When I ran into an issue with getting the record cleared, I went into the lab with Skii, we came up with something different and sent it back over to The Grouch, who then put me in touch with audio engineer extraordinaire Starski, who mixed and mastered the record, and now we’re here.“
“Move On” is available on all major digital streaming platforms. Stream/purchase here.
