Published author, motivational speaker, business owner, and spoken word poet from North Carolina Robin “Sh8kes” Williamson released his debut EP Chance 2 Change exclusively on Bandcamp on March 29, 2021. Narrated by one of Southern rap’s most coveted voices Big Rube (of the Dungeon Family), the seven track project served as a personal testimony of healing and growth through love, life lessons, connection with family, and much more. Last week (4/18/2023), Sh8kes shared more of his personal testimony with his new loose,
Truss One-produced single “Regrets”, featuring a guest verse from New York emcee The Musalini. (of 9th Wonder‘s Jamala Records). Today (4/24/2023), on this final week of National Poetry Month, Sh8kes shared the song’s official music video via YouTube.
“This poem came from a place of failure, pain and self awareness. I went through so many things during 2022, I began to question if what I was doing was the right thing. I never wanted to give up, but questioned if I needed to switch my focus to something else. I found myself reevaluating the people around me that have been in my life for 20 plus years. It seemed like I gave so much of me, but never got the same in return.” – Sh8kes
