# EB Listening: Shivastep – Ode To Tha Grind
Raised in Chicago and now based in Los Angeles, **Shivastep** has his
next EP primed and ready to share. All right, so it's *officially* out
tomorrow, but you can listen to and download the EP right here a whole
day early. *Ode to the Grind* taps directly into the overlap between his
hometown's 808 fetishization, grime's crouching, bit-crunched aggression
and---most obviously---Southern hip hop. These are brazen tracks primed
for the dancefloor, all deployed with Shivastep's pop-informed,
instantly gratifying methodology.
