DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH: Shazam Conner

In this new entry in our ‘Diamonds In The Rough’ category, we would like to introduce you to upcoming artist Shazam Conner and his brand new single titled “Yeen Ready”.

Shazam Conner, the iconic lead singer of the legendary R&B group H-Town, has just released his highly anticipated solo single, “Yeen Ready”. Dropping fresh off his recent Billboard-charting collaboration with Bobby V, Shazam is set to showcase his artistry in a new light. The single, available now via Shazam Music/So, Let’s Talk, signals a bold new chapter in his storied career.

“Yeen Ready”, produced by rising talent Twnty47, brings together Shazam’s signature smooth vocals with a modern production flair, seamlessly blending the timeless appeal of classic R&B with the fresh energy of today’s sound. The track is a follow-up to his recent hit “Weekend”, which featured R&B sensation Bobby V and climbed to #24 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart, holding its position for 9 weeks.

Shazam’s solo career officially kicked off in 2023 with his debut single “Strokey Doke,” a collaboration featuring his H-Town groupmates, G.I. and the late Dino Conner, which soared to #27 on the same Billboard chart. His versatility as an artist continued to shine with the release of “Pac Man”, a crossover electronic R&B track featuring European producer Justin Novak. “Pac Man” reached impressive heights, peaking at #4 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart and #29 on the Adult Contemporary chart, proving Shazam’s ability to break new ground across multiple genres.

With “Yeen Ready”, Shazam is taking his solo artistry to the next level, delivering a song that’s bold, unapologetic, and layered with his distinct vocal charisma. The single speaks to Shazam’s enduring passion for creating music that resonates with fans old and new, while still pushing the boundaries of his creative expression.

For fans of H-Town, Shazam’s continued solo success is a testament to his enduring talent and dedication. H-Town, formed in the early 90s by Shazam, his twin brother Keven “Dino” Conner, and their longtime friend Darryl “G.I.” Jackson, remains the biggest-selling independent R&B group of all time. Their breakout debut album, Fever for da Flavor, took the industry by storm, with the smash hit “Knockin’ Da Boots” topping the R&B charts and reaching #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Despite the tragic loss of Dino in 2003, Shazam has kept the H-Town legacy alive while also forging his own path.

“Yeen Ready” is more than just a single—it’s a statement that Shazam Conner is here to stay and thrive as a solo artist. With his signature blend of heartfelt lyrics, vocal finesse, and an undeniable presence, Shazam is showing the world that he’s ready to take on whatever comes next.

The single is now available worldwide on all major streaming platforms.
