Shahid Khan, conocido artísticamente como Naughty Boy, es un productor musical, compositor y músico británico que ha dejado una huella significativa en la industria de la música pop. Desde sus comienzos humildes hasta alcanzar renombre internacional, su talento y creatividad lo han catapultado a una posición destacada en el panorama musical contemporáneo.
Nacido el 13 de marzo de 1985 en Watford, Inglaterra, Shahid Khan creció en una familia paquistaní-británica. Su pasión por la música inició desde temprana edad, aunque inicialmente su carrera no parecía encaminarse hacia el ámbito artístico. Asistió al London Metropolitan University para estudiar negocios y marketing, pero pronto se vio inmerso en el mundo de la creación musical, donde encontró su verdadera vocación.
Naughty Boy abandonó la universidad y comenzó a trabajar en diversos empleos ocasionales para financiar su carrera musical. Su dedicación rindió frutos en 2005 cuando ganó 40,000 libras en un programa de concursos llamado Deal or No Deal. Este premio le permitió adquirir un pequeño estudio de grabación para comenzar a experimentar y producir su propia música.
A lo largo de los años siguientes, Naughty Boy colaboró con varios artistas emergentes, afinando sus habilidades como productor y compositor. Su primera colaboración significativa fue con la cantante Emeli Sandé. Juntos trabajaron en varias canciones, destacándose Diamond Rings en 2009, que estableció una base sólida para futuras colaboraciones.
En 2013, Naughty Boy lanzó su tan esperado álbum debut, Hotel

[Verse 1: Devlin]
One, I've been here for a period of time
So long that my brain has gone delirious inside
I think back on all the years that I've survived
Holding back the tears that keep appearing in my eyes
But now I'm yesterday's news
And I'm tomorrow's promise
I've got my mince pies open wide
Trying to visualize devils in disguise
Devz I'm like Picasso
'Cause I've been through every shade of blue
I'm walking under rainy skies but the flame never died
It stayed alive 'cause I was made to ignite
Like dynamite I'm from the cold November night
I'm riding tight, notice flows slip and slide
Like a tire in the snow 'cause there ain't no grip on ice
I'm cold in the Moscow and it's minus 29
So welcome to my life, I've cleverly designed minds
Lost souls just trying to live the higher life
[Chorus]
I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here
With the government and yesterday's news
I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here
With the government and yesterday's news
[Verse 2]
Devlin, I'm dangerous, I'm dead guys
And every week forgotten like yesterday's headlines
I've been through the blues just like Elvis's best time
But I ain't wearing suede shoes, I've just got the best rhymes
I refuse to die, you could attempt to kill me twenty times
But I'll still rise like I'm the day walker Wesley Snipes
So let me stick my teeth into the game and bleed it dry
When I witness blood seeking through his veins
This has become apparent
I've got a talent that these other rappers haven't
So what would be the point of bloody keeping it in chains
I'm not sure what you think of other artists
But if we’re talkin’ about bars
You can't speak to me the same
So cut the conversation 'cause I've been lower rating
Taking anything I'm pleasing taking off the aviation
To a better place in time
Better for leaving this place behind
I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here
With the government and yesterday's news
I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here
With the government and yesterday's news
I can't see no reason why I can't retain success
I just need a real good time away from all this stress
I can't see no reason why I can't retain success
I just need a real good time away from all this stress
I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here
With the government and yesterday's news
I've been here so long
Through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here
With the government and yesterday's news
