This simple postcode near the Hudson River is shaking right now. No posse, but big pose. Dark but explosive. Emo rap with pop pathos and sick beats. Kanye West likes to protect her on his G.O.O.D Music label, but Danielle Balbuena aka 070 Shake stays true to her own style. Her «modus vivendi» (like the title of the current album) doesn’t hurt her – she somehow feels free. Well, maybe not until she’s been shot to the moon in a rocket. For ever and for always.
