Last month, Bronx drill standout Sha EK (aka Jiggy Man) and Jersey club scene leader Bandmanrill signaled they had something major in the works. The two tracks they shared independently on May 12 but under the same mysterious moniker, Defiant Presents, left listeners with more questions than answers. But today (June 2), they’ve clarified their collaboration, announcing a new joint mixtape titled Defiant Presents: Jiggy in Jersey, with Bandman’s go-to beatmaker MCVERTT signed on to produce. It’s scheduled to arrive June 30, following an introduction to their newly revealed Warner imprint, Defiant Records, this weekend at the Hot 97 Summer Jam on Long Island.

Jiggy In Jersey’s 26 tracks stick to permutations of the Bandman-Sha-MCVERTT trio with two exceptions: Sha’s previously shared “Never Want to Be Them pt. 2” features Chicago pain music pioneer Lil Zay Osama. And the tape’s as-yet-unreleased closer, “Jiggiest in Jersey,” is guest-produced by Newark’s own DJ Sliink.

Bandman’s already-dropped, Crystal Waters-sampling “Mr. D.C.T.,” will also appear on Jiggy in Jersey, as will “Pistons,” the project’s third single, out today. The first taste of the full Jiggy team, the new track comprises verses from Sha and Bandman and a beat by MCVERTT.
