Her debut extended play (EP), Glitter (2018), foresaw her receiving further attention in June of that year for her guest appearances on West's songs "Ghost Town" and "Violent Crimes"—both of which appear on his eighth album, Ye, and peaked within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

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.

"[23] In 2019, she featured on DJ Khaled's album Father of Asahd alongside Buju Banton, Sizzla, and Mavado on the song "Holy Mountain".

[27][28] In the summer of 2022, Shake accompanied American rapper Kid Cudi on his To the Moon World Tour as an opening act.
