070 Shake

Danielle Balbuena, known professionally as 070 Shake (pronounced "oh seven oh shake"), is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and actress. She is best known for her guest appearance on American rapper Kanye West's 2018 track "Ghost Town", which peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified double platinum.

In 2016, she signed with rapper Kanye West's record label GOOD Music, an imprint of Def Jam Recordings. Her debut extended play (EP), Glitter (2018), preceded further attention in June of that year for her guest appearances on West's songs "Ghost Town" and "Violent Crimes"—both of which peaked within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 and appear on West's eighth album, Ye. During that same month, Balbuena guest performed on labelmate Pusha T's album Daytona and New York rapper Nas' album Nasir. Her debut studio album, Modus Vivendi (2020), and its follow-up, You Can't Kill Me (2022), were both positively received by music critics despite failing to chart.

Aside from her solo career, Balbuena is also a member of the New Jersey–based musical collective 070, from which she adapted her stage name. The group has released one mixtape, The 070 Project: Chapter 1 (2016).

Early life and education Balbuena was born in North Bergen, New Jersey, and is of Dominican descent. Balbuena attended North Bergen High School, where she played on the school's basketball team. Prior to her music career, Balbuena wrote poetry. Shake's stage name is derived from her affiliation with the 070 music collective with 070 coming from New Jersey's 070 ZIP Codes. By 2018, the 070 crew was noted to have 11 members, including artists and producers. Soon after posting several songs on SoundCloud, Shake attracted the attention of Miami-based promoter and social media personality YesJulz. The song featured production from frequent collaborators, The Kompetition,

In a 2017 interview with Paper, Shake mentioned her Yellow Girl EP would release later that year. However, the project was rescheduled to release after Glitter, another collaboration with The Kompetition. Shake described Glitter as "about being in a dark place and finding yourself and figuring it out. It's about being in the lowest of lows type of shit."

In May 2018, Shake was featured on "Santeria", a track from Pusha T's album Daytona.

Shake was a featured vocalist on "Ghost Town" and "Violent Crimes" from Kanye West's album Ye. Michael Saponara praised the two tracks as "standout cuts" on West's album, and ranked "Ghost Town" as the album's best song. HotNewHipHop praised Shake's performance on "Ghost Town" as the highlight of the song and called the track the climax of the album. Shake told Pigeons & Planes that "Ghost Town" was nearly left off Ye, as the track was finished on the same day of the album's release. Shake's recording experience with West in Wyoming for his album Ye impacted her thoughts about Yellow Girl; she stated, "I don't know if it's going to be called Yellow Girl. I know the songs are definitely changing. The experience I had in Wyoming makes me want to make music on a different level."

Shake released her debut album, Modus Vivendi, on January 17, 2020. Her second studio album, You Can't Kill Me was released in June 2022. Its first single, "Lose My Cool" featuring NLE Choppa, was released on December 3, 2021.

In the summer of 2022, Shake accompanied American rapper Kid Cudi on his To the Moon World Tour as an opening act. In October 2022, Shake was featured on the song "Escapism" by Raye. After going viral on TikTok, the song charted internationally and became Shake's first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

Shake was part of the lineup for the 22nd Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2023.

Her third studio album, Petrichor was released on November 15, 2024.
