Shamir, aka Shamir Bailey, is a 19-year-old musician from Las Vegas and the latest signee to XL Records/ Remote Control Records (the home of FKA Twigs, Le1f, Gil Scott-Heron, and Jai Paul).

To celebrate the signing, Shamir has released the addictive new single ‘On The Regular’, which is a sugar-coated hybrid of  tUnE-yArDs cowbell percussion, THEESatisfaction RnB weirdness, Cakes Da Killa flow and straight up house production.

Earlier this year, the young singer/rapper released his stunning Northtown EP via Soundcloud, but now Northtown is set to be repressed, extending the original run of 100 to 1000. The new run will be released on numbered vinyl housed in a hand silkscreen printed sleeve through GODMODE on November 3rd 2014. For more info visit Shamir’s Facebook page.
