Written by Site Hub on September 10, 2025
Genre-blending artist Shaboozey continues his meteoric rise with “Took a Walk,” a soulful new track featured in the film adaptation of Stephen King’s The Long Walk. Known for fusing country, hip-hop, and R&B, the Nigerian-American musician created the song alongside Stephen Wilson Jr. The track complements the film’s dark narrative and marks another step in Shaboozey’s genre-defying career. Coinciding with the release, Shaboozey earned a nomination for New Artist of the Year at the 2025 CMA Awards, solidifying his place in the evolving landscape of country music. His success reflects a larger shift as Black artists redefine traditional genre boundaries.
