A decade after releasing the acclaimed collaboration “Nobody Speak” with Run The Jewels, legendary producer DJ Shadow is revisiting one of his most celebrated records with a brand-new follow-up.
Originally released in 2016, “Nobody Speak” became a fan favorite thanks to its explosive production and memorable performances from Run The Jewels. Now, ten years later, DJ Shadow has expanded the concept with a sequel that introduces a new generation of talent while maintaining the spirit of the original.
The updated version features standout appearances from Denzel Curry and TiaCorine, both members of The Scythe. Their chemistry drives much of the track, as the two artists exchange sharp verses and contrasting styles over DJ Shadow’s signature production.
While Run The Jewels remain part of the record, their role is more limited this time around. Rather than dominating the track, the duo appears later in the song, contributing to the hook and helping connect the sequel to its predecessor. The approach allows Denzel Curry and TiaCorine to take center stage while still honoring the original collaboration.
The decision to involve members of The Scythe gives the record a fresh identity while preserving the competitive energy that made “Nobody Speak” such a memorable release. Denzel Curry’s intensity pairs well with TiaCorine’s distinctive delivery, creating a dynamic that feels both modern and rooted in the song’s battle-ready ethos.
For DJ Shadow, the sequel serves as a testament to the enduring impact of the original track. Rather than simply recreating what worked before, he uses the opportunity to introduce new voices into the formula and demonstrate how the concept can evolve over time.
