Nigerian dancehall heavyweight Patoranking returned heavily alongside Afrobeats star Ruger on a highly anticipated new single titled “Shake That” (also teased as “Shake Dat”), a collaboration already generating major excitement across social media.
“Shake That (Dat)” brings together two influential Nigerian artists from different eras of Afro-Caribbean-inspired music. Patoranking, widely recognized as one of Africa’s leading reggae-dancehall figures, built his reputation through energetic performances and timeless hits such as “Girlie O” and “My Woman, My Everything.”
Ruger, on the other hand, represents the new generation of Afrobeats stars, known for his bold style, infectious hooks, and chart-driving releases like “Bounce.” His growing international presence and successful global tours have further cemented his place among the genre’s leading modern hitmakers.
Finally, with the collaboration uniting experience, global appeal, and modern hitmaking chemistry, “Shake That” is shaping up to be one of the standout Afro-fusion releases of 2026.
