It looks like it’s full steam ahead for 2018. Already with a host of collaborations under his belt so far this year with names like Stylo G and Wiley, Shakka thrusts himself back into the spotlight as he drops the video to his latest single “Man Down“, calling in duo AlunaGeorge for the feature.
Produced by the brilliant JAE5 who is giving us a summery vibe early, “Man Down” sees Shakka detail what happened when he met a particular attractive woman who knew exactly what she wanted out of the very complicated situation they found themselves in. He sums it up best: “She don’t wanna be no side, she just wanna be my wife”.
Starring as the protagonist in the KC-Locke directed visual, Shakka looks to be booed up with his girl as they roam the streets of Los Angeles with their loot while dodging the police. It’s a Bonnie & Clyde-esque flick but she’s secretly in cahoots with Aluna so it doesn’t fair well for only Shakka in the end.
Having confirmed with Ebro on Beats 1 that this year will be the year of his debut studio album, this is sure to serve as it’s leading single. We can’t wait to see what more the West London native.
