Ever since Excision brought out “the biggest DJ in the world” as a Lost Lands special guest in 2018, Shaquille O’Neal (DJ Diesel) has taken the bass music scene by storm, hosting his own events and performing at massive festivals across the world. Now, Shaq is leaping into original production, teaming up with recent Latin Grammy Award-winning producer, Nitti Gritti.

Shaq has been teasing this elusive ID at festival performances for months now, leaving fans anxiously awaiting its release. With its arrival, it’s evident the winnings were worth the wait. “Takin’ Over” opens with a series of ominous growls topped with aggressive shouts from Shaq himself, preparing the listener for the bass destruction to come. The drop hits hard and fast, and showcases the leaves-nothing-to-be-desired production style embodied by Nitti Gritti. The combination of the track itself and the reputation of the names attached to it is certainty enough that the offering will be a fixture in the bass dominion for months to come.
