Who Shot Ya… Seasons change and people change, but 38 Spesh is back outside. It’s been a minute since you’ve heard from the typically active artist, but Spesh is back with another chamber loaded for his acclaimed Shots series.
After releasing singles featuring Method Man (“The Main Line”) and Busta Rhymes (“Cold War”), 38 Spesh has officially released his new project 8 Shots; which is now available at all DSPs. Spesh also released a new video for “Used 2,” which features Rome Streetz. You can watch the video for “Used 2” below.
Spesh has also announced that he will be performing at Hot 97’s 2026 Summer Jam Festival, which will take place on 7.24.26 at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.
One of hip-hop’s most under-appreciated multi-hyphenates, over the last several years, Spesh has steadily built one of the most consistent and respected catalogs in hip-hop, balancing gritty authenticity with elevated craftsmanship. 8 Shots is another clip that further cements that status, as he pushes his evolution even further, assembling a heavyweight lineup that includes Method Man, Busta Rhymes, Rome Streetz, Dave East, Ransom, and Che Noir. The project showcases Spesh’s ability to bridge generations of elite lyricists while continuing to sharpen his own voice as both an artist and producer.
“It’s been a minute since I dropped an album, so I wanted to give listeners 12-tracks of that bar-heavy Spesh music my fans been waiting for,” Spesh proclaims. “On top of some high-profile guests, I’m also introducing some talented new artists.”
Few artists embody independence quite like 38 Spesh. Whether producing cinematic street anthems, curating collaborative projects, or delivering vivid street narratives himself, Spesh has consistently elevated the standard for modern East Coast rap.
8 Shots continues that legacy—an uncompromising statement piece built on precision bars, heavyweight production, and the type of authenticity that can’t be manufactured.
8 Shots is now available at all DSPs.
