BUZZING MULTIGENRE ARTIST TIACORINE RELEASES MUSIC VIDEO FOR “SHAMONE”

OFF CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED EP, ALMOST THERE LISTEN HERE

On the fast track towards a major breakthrough, genre-bending hip-hop phenomenon TiaCorine unleashes the slick and scorching new music video for “Shamone” out now via Interscope Records. Watch the music video HERE. It graces the tracklisting of her tastemaker-approved new Almost There EP—out now. Listen HERE.

A two-minute burst of braggadocios bravado, “Shamone” spotlights TiaCorine’s bulletproof bars and fiery flow front-and-center. 808s rattle through shaky synths, and she warns, “I’m still never gonna pick up.” In the accompanying Moshpxt directed visual, she descends upon the desert. Letters spell out “The End of the World” in the sand, and this hip-hop femme fatale proceeds to body the beat with the force of an apocalyptic event. An outfit change and a smoke break gives way to a final scene of TiaCorine against the backdrop of a setting sun, donning fur, rapping unapologetically with confidence.  

Earlier this year, she ignited the Almost There EP. The stadnout “Yung Joc” [feat. Luh Tyler] reeled in over a million streams and counting as the project garnered critical acclaim. Rolling Stone spoke to her for an in-depth interview, and The FADER applauded how the “Almost There EP highlights just how far her chameleonic versatility can stretch.” HotNewHipHop noted, “Almost There is a compelling snapshot of TiaCorine’s current artistic state.” Following the EP release, she went on her debut headline tour hitting New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, her home state of North Carolina and more.

Her critically acclaimed full-length debut album, I Can't Wait, led by its breakout track, "FreakyT", inspired a viral dance trend in route to amassing 60 million views on TikTok,  over 50 million streams, and soaring up the Urban Mainstream Chart and Billboard's Hip Hop/R&B's Chart. Tia continued her fiery momentum into 2023 by being named an 'Artist to Watch' by Rolling Stone, COMPLEX, Pigeons & Planes, Zane Low, PopSugar, OkayPlayer, Our Generation Music, and One37PM; while having her track co-signed by Drake, Flo-Milli, the late-great Gangsta Boo, and more. She went on to perform at major festivals including Dreamville Festival, Rolling Loud Miami, Day N Vegas, and Rolling Loud NYC, and has recently been lighting stages on fire as direct support for Key Glock's multi-city 'Glockoma' Tour.

ABOUT TIACORINE

There's a nostalgic hypnotism in TiaCorine's music and style. TiaCorine's roots lie in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, a bustling, industrious city sat squarely in the middle of the Northern and Southern border of the U.S., making the young rapper's music evocative of multiple coasts and styles while still anchored in a subtle, decidedly Southern foundation. While in college, Tia welcomed her first child and almost hung up the rap crown. "My friend had me come to the studio, and I made a song. And it just came back. It's been over a year since I rapped or did anything, and it just was so easy and natural for me. I forgot I love music." Calling back to her knowledge of piano and flute from her childhood, Tia brought her music theory knowledge to the studio to create the perfect ear worm.

"I made a song called 'Cabbage' with OGSpliff and I just started becoming a legend in Winston, because everybody was like, 'Wow, this is a different sound you have. It's hard,'" Tia says. In the middle of welcoming her first child and finishing her degree, Tia tapped into her passions within fashion, anime, hip-hop, and more to record songs sporadically throughout college. "Lotto," christened with Sailor Moon sound bites and vicious, cocky bars nestled between a deceptively charming hook, Tia knew she couldn't turn back now. The lethal pair of her 34Corineand Pussy EPs put her on the map leading into 2022's I Can't Wait. Toward the tail end of the year, the infectious, instructive "Freaky T" made its way online. From TikTok to the club, TiaCorine became inescapable. Since "Freaky T," the Winston-Salem superhero has embarked on a tour with Key Glock, blessed her hit single with a remix from Latto, festival appearances, and more, having done all of this before her major label debut. Since signing with Interscope in 2023, TiaCorine intends to give audiences a taste of all the characters inside her. This past year she earned a spot on XXL’s coveted freshman cover. In 2024 Tia dropped her EP Almost There and embarked on a headline tour.
