Shae broke out on the Israeli hip-hop scene in 2022 with the mixtape ימים נוראים (Horrible Days), which showcases the rapper and producer’s uniquely honest lyrics over distinctively varied, stripped-back beats. Just months later he follows it up with his debut album אומנות מודרנית שברה לי את הלב (Modern Art Broke My Heart) which takes him into new terrain—revealing his inner world while pushing the boundaries of the genre with a hybrid sound that blends thoroughly modern rap with classic soul moods and even blues rock jams. It’s just one of the reasons that led Apple Music’s editors to choose Shae as an Up Next artist for Israel.
