Following his critically acclaimed roots reggae collection, African Soldier, a collaboration with Grammy Award-winning legend, Buju Banton, global afro-dancehall star Patrick Nnaemeka Okorie, well known as Patoranking is back with a dancefloor-ready summer anthem, titled, Shake That.

The new offering, which has earned praise from major platforms including Billboard Africa, Jamaica Observer, The Tropixs, and GRM Daily, marks another creative shift in Patoranking’s evolving sound, arriving after his earlier release, No Jonze.

Featuring afrobeats favourite Ruger, the vibrant new single is off his forthcoming fifth studio album and serves as third single. Driven by a catchy call-and-response hook, the track celebrates attraction, movement, and the magnetic confidence of a woman who commands a room the moment she steps onto the floor.

Built for dancefloors and outdoor celebrations, the track celebrates movement, attraction, and the magnetic energy of a confident woman who instantly commands attention on the dancefloor. Patoranking brings his signature patois-inflected bounce and effortless melodic charm, while Ruger delivers a playful, charismatic verse that sharpens the track’s swagger and chemistry. Together, both artistes create a dynamic exchange that blends Afro-dancehall and Afrobeats seamlessly.

Produced by Grammy Award-nominated beatsmith Yungwillis and Dwillsharmony — a production duo whose combined credits span Davido, Asake, Wizkid, and Olamide. The accompanying video was directed by Forbes 30 Under 30 listed filmmaker, Dammy Twitch, whose credits include Davido, Yung Bleu, and DaBaby.

Speaking on the single, Patoranking said: “After African Soldier, I wanted to give my fans something for the summer. Shake That is that energy. Ruger brought the vibes, and it was great linking with Ikel Marvelous again. This summer, we are dancing — I’m back on the road, hitting the UK and Europe. Catch me and the band; we’re outside.”

The track also arrives as the Alubarika hit maker announces his ‘Fire 2026 European Summer Tour,’ taking him and the acclaimed Fire Republik Band across the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium, including a headline slot at London’s prestigious Barbican later this month.

Beyond music, Patoranking continues to stand as one of Africa’s most influential cultural exports. Born in Lagos, he rose from humble beginnings in Ebute-Metta to become a global Afro-dancehall voice with hits like My Woman, My Everything and Babylon.

His catalogue has surpassed two billion global streams, with performances across over 50 countries, including the O2 Arena in London and Barclays Center in New York. With Shake That, he once again reinforces his reputation as a global hitmaker delivering music that connects culture, rhythm and celebration.
