The outlaw era begins here.
Shaboozey returns with THE OUTLAW CHERI LEE & OTHER WESTERN TALES, a bold, cinematic project that pushes far beyond the boundaries of a traditional album. Built as a narrative-driven Western epic, the release introduces a fully realized creative universe, one where country, Americana, hip-hop, and pop collide to tell a tragic, mythic story of vengeance, love, and transformation.
At the heart of the project is Cheri Lee: a woman shaped by violence and driven by loss. After witnessing the murder of her sheriff father at the hands of the Bootcut Boys, she abandons the law and embarks on a relentless pursuit of revenge. Along the way, she falls for an outlaw tied to the very world she’s trying to destroy. Their love, rooted in hope for redemption, ultimately proves futile. When the true killer resurfaces and is executed in her name, the cycle of violence only deepens - culminating in Cheri’s final, devastating choice: blood over love, and a complete transformation into the very force she once sought to end.
The album unfolds like a Western film told in chapters, incorporating narration, skits, and cinematic transitions that blur the line between music and storytelling. It is not just a collection of songs - it is a narrative experience.
Leading the charge is ‘Born to Die’, a bombastic, stadium-sized anthem that serves as both war cry and last call. Featuring Cherie Lee and Shaboozey, the track captures the fatalistic spirit of the project, raising a glass in the face of inevitable collapse, and turning reckoning into something communal, explosive, and unforgettable.
This release marks a pivotal moment in Shaboozey’s career. Over the past two years, he has evolved from a fast-rising crossover act into a full-scale global force. Where his previous work established him as a generational voice, THE OUTLAW CHERI LEE & OTHER WESTERN TALES positions him as something more: a world-builder. An artist capable of existing at the intersection of multiple genres while shaping a distinct cultural identity that extends beyond music.
Sonically, the project moves seamlessly across country, pop, hip-hop, and Americana, creating a sound that feels both expansive and cohesive. Visually and conceptually, it reimagines the American West - not as nostalgia, but as something alive, fractured, seductive, and dangerous.
The creative direction lives in tension: between raw outlaw realism-bars, highways, denim, cigarette smoke and mythic modernism-neon-lit silhouettes, fire, dreamlike landscapes, and surreal iconography.
The result is a world where past and present collapse into a timeless, cinematic vision uniquely authored by Shaboozey.
With THE OUTLAW CHERI LEE & OTHER WESTERN TALES, Shaboozey isn’t just releasing an album, he’s launching a mythology. One that spans music, film, fashion, and live experience, redefining what it means to be an artist in today’s landscape.
