Award-winning Nigerian music star Patoranking has returned with a new single titled ‘Shake That,’ featuring Afrobeats singer Ruger.
The upbeat track follows the success of African Soldier, his roots reggae collaboration with Jamaican dancehall icon Buju Banton, and offers a different side of the artist's forthcoming fifth studio album.
Built around infectious rhythms and a catchy hook, Shake That is designed as a feel-good anthem for the summer season. The song celebrates attraction, confidence and the energy of the dancefloor, with both artists delivering lively performances over an Afro-dancehall backdrop.
Patoranking brings his signature reggae and dancehall influences to the record, while Ruger adds his distinctive style and charisma, creating a collaboration that blends two of Africa's most recognizable contemporary sounds.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Patoranking said he wanted to give fans something uplifting after the release of African Soldier.
"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 nice linking with Ikel Marvelous again. I'm excited about this one. This summer we are dancing," he said.
The song was produced by Yungwillis and Dwillsharmony, two producers known for their work with some of Africa's biggest music stars. Together, they craft a vibrant sound that combines romance, party energy and dance-ready rhythms.
The release is accompanied by a music video directed by filmmaker Dammy Twitch, whose previous work includes visuals for artists such as Davido, Yung Bleu and DaBaby.
Shake That arrives shortly after Patoranking announced his Fire 2026 European summer tour. The tour will see him perform alongside the Fire Republik Band across the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. One of the major stops on the tour includes a headline performance at London's Barbican, with additional dates expected to be announced.
Born and raised in Lagos, Patoranking has built a global reputation by blending Afrobeats, reggae and dancehall into a distinctive sound. Over the years, he has released hit songs including Alubarika, My Woman My Everything and Babylon, while collaborating with international acts such as Major Lazer, Popcaan and Bryson Tiller.
His catalogue has amassed more than two billion streams worldwide, and his music has reached audiences across Africa, Europe, North America, Latin America and the Caribbean.
Beyond music, Patoranking is also known for his philanthropic work through the Patoranking Foundation, which supports education, youth empowerment and entrepreneurship initiatives across Africa.
With Shake That, he delivers a vibrant new offering that is expected to soundtrack parties and dancefloors throughout the summer while building anticipation for his next album.
