Rising Toronto R&B singer Shantel May enlists Westside Gunn for her new single.

Rising R&B star Shantel May has slowly been bubbling beyond Toronto. The Toronto star only has a few songs to her name on streaming services, though she received a huge look earlier this year when dvsn featured her on their latest project, A Muse In Her Feeling. As she keeps the momentum running, she's back with Westside Gunn for her latest single, "Until I Say So." 

Shantel May's backed by warm soul samples on her latest single as she croons over disloyalty and infidelity. Her new single, "Until I Say So" speaks from a woman's standpoint of being in a relationship with a serial cheater. But, even with this 90s feel throughout the record, it's emphasized by Westside Gunn's stand-out verse. Largely due to the fact that a lot of great 90s R&B hits had a few impeccable rap verses and clearly, that's the same energy Westside Gunn was trying to channel on his verse.

Quotable Lyrics
Your shits so good, I wanna kill your exes
All-timers, we could talk love or breakfast
Sport max, mix, match it, and you still the freshest
You my bitch now, I think they got the message
You think you leavin' me, ever? There's only one way to exit
And my ---- gettin' desperate
