The track follows the release of \u2018African Soldier\u2019, Patoranking’s collaboration with Jamaican dancehall artist Buju Banton, which was released earlier this year. The new single is expected to feature on Patoranking’s forthcoming fifth studio album.<\/p>\n
Produced by Yungwillis and Dwillsharmony, \u2018Shake That\u2019 blends Afrobeats and dancehall influences, with lyrics centred on attraction, confidence and dancefloor culture. The song pairs Patoranking’s melodic style with Ruger’s contribution in what marks a collaboration between two prominent figures in contemporary African music.<\/p>\n
A music video directed by filmmaker Dammy Twitch has also been released alongside the single.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the new release, Patoranking said the song was intended to capture a lighter mood following the themes explored in \u2018African Soldier\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter \u2018African Soldier\u2019, I wanted to give my fans something for the summer. \u2018Shake That\u2019 is that energy. Ruger brought the vibes and it was nice linking with Ikel Marvelous again, he did the \u2018Suh Different\u2019 intro, and he\u2019s on the intro on this too,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah man, I\u2019m excited about this one. This summer we are dancing, I’m back on the road again, I’ll be in the UK and across Europe this summer, yeah catch me and the band, we outside.\u201d<\/p>\n
The release comes shortly after the announcement of Patoranking’s Fire 2026 European tour. The tour is scheduled to include performances in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, with additional dates expected to be announced.<\/p>\n
Patoranking, who emerged from Lagos’ music scene, has built an international profile through a catalogue that blends Afrobeats, reggae and dancehall. His best-known songs include \u2018My Woman My Everything\u2019 and \u2018Alubarika\u2019, while his collaborations have featured artists such as Major Lazer, Popcaan and Bryson Tiller.<\/p>\n
