Shaqstar – Tears

Shaqstar comes in with “Tears, ” a regret-soaked reggae single that sits comfortably in his reflective lane. The Seaforth, St. Thomas artist has long carved his name out of dancehall rooted in lived experience, and this one keeps that same personal edge, with the pain of a broken bond sitting right at the center. His voice carries the kind of rawness that has helped him connect beyond the local East Coast circle, where he’s been linked to the 6ixx camp and to songs that trade in survival, pressure, and hard-earned emotion.

The track is out through Russian Mafia Records and Naseve Music, with 2026 attached to the release. It runs 2 minutes and 43 seconds and is listed as reggae, which matches the mood the title suggests. Shaqstar, whose given name is Shaquille Williams, writes and performs it himself, and the cut feels aimed at the space between confession and resilience rather than full-blown heartbreak drama.

What makes “Tears” fit Shaqstar’s catalogue is the way it balances streetwise toughness with vulnerability. He has made plenty of records that speak to struggle and ambition, but this one turns inward. It’s the sort of song that works best when the vocals do the heavy lifting, and Shaqstar sounds like an artist who knows how to let pain sit in the pocket without overplaying it.
