Again in October 2022, he released a music video for his single "Can't Say I'm Broke".[3][13][14] Musical styleDavid Aaron Blake writing for HipHopDX describes Wilson's musical style on his mixtape Reflexions in the following manner: "There’s an apathetic confidence behind all of Shhnow’s music, as though he’s frustrated by how easy rapping is for him. A simple song structure bores him. He euro-steps between several different flows on the rage-inspired “Park My Car,” cramming multitudes of ideas into a less than two-minute song. All rappers must balance their raps’ style with its content, but Reflexions highlights Shhnow’s insistence that the sound of his music is as compelling as any lyric."[15] References
