Every artist has a story, and for Belfield Shawty, that story begins with family, country roads, and the magnetic pull of music he once tried to resist. Born into a household where music was part of the DNA, he grew up surrounded by artistry but never imagined himself stepping into the spotlight. “Growing up I really didn’t want to do music. Really rather had been just a ‘regular person,’” he admits. But sometimes destiny has other plans. “I guess the music, the artistry it chose me.”
Moving to Belfield as a teenager was a turning point. It was a chapter where he began to discover himself, full of ideas and ambition. Coming of age in the country, where opportunities and outlets weren’t as plentiful as in the city, demanded creativity and resourcefulness. That unique upbringing carved out the foundation of his sound raw, honest, and deeply rooted in real-life experiences.
The Studio Process: Bridging Old School and New School
For Belfield Shawty, the studio is where instinct meets discipline. He doesn’t approach music like the average listener his ear is trained to catch nuances and possibilities others might miss. “I’m very particular with my beat selection,” he explains. “I came up at the end of the 90s era so I’m trying to mix the new school ways of rap while still incorporating the old styles.”
Instead of sticking strictly to pen and pad, Belfield Shawty relies heavily on freestyle. He allows his thoughts and emotions to flow directly onto the mic, capturing the energy of the moment. “Nine times out of ten I’d rather just be in the Stu and rap what’s on my mind,” he says. The result? Tracks that feel urgent, authentic, and unfiltered.
Messages for the Listeners
At the heart of his music lies a simple but powerful message: be yourself. “Stay creative. Never stop trying. Whatever you’re doing that makes you happy, something that you love, never give up on it,” he shares. His songs aren’t just bars over beats they’re reminders to keep pushing, keep building, and keep chasing what feels real.
The Challenges of Independence
Like many independent artists, Belfield Shawty has faced hurdles along the way. His biggest? Consistency and focus. “It’s easy to get off track,” he says honestly. With only five years in the rap game, he knows he’s still learning, still sharpening his craft. But he embraces the grind, viewing each challenge as a stepping stone on his path forward.
Looking Ahead: A Game Changer in the Making
Ambition runs deep in Belfield Shawty’s vision for the future. He hopes to collaborate with top producers and artists, but more than that, he wants to leave a lasting imprint on the culture. “I wanna change the game,” he declares. “I want to be seen as a game changer. Someone who stood behind what they said. No flaws, a real stand-up guy in the game, that doesn’t want nothing from the game but to pour in and give back.”
For fans, Belfield Shawty represents resilience, authenticity, and the hunger to rise despite obstacles. For the culture, he’s a reminder that even from small towns and quiet country roads, voices with big visions can emerge and redefine the game.
