His father, a guitarist and producer of the Reggae band “The Foreigners Crew”, made sure he was immersed into music as a child. So he played keys and ended up singing a few songs for the band.
After studying Music Production and Theory, Classical Piano, Percussion and Vocals at CYM (Centre for Young Musicians), working closely with fellow rapper Incisive, he released his first EP entitled Foolishness Vol.1, and The Shakka Crown Affair, his widely received Concept Mixtape taking influence from The Thomas Crown Affair, where he experiments with Hip-Hop, Jazz, Indie Rock, and Electronic music.
Alongside his latest Shakkapella video-series, where he covers popular songs recreating the music in a beat-box fashion, he is promoting his Mixtape and other songs at shows across the UK (Loughborough, Lincoln, and Brighton to name a few).
Don't Call Me
Shakka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't call me, don't call me
'Less you're in pain on the floor
Don't call me, don't call me
Honey you made your choice
Turned your back on my voice
So why's your name on my phone?
Don't call me, don't call me
Call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
Your mom said more than hello
'Cause we're talking, must have loved it
I paid attention and dough
I could hardly afford it
I was all you needed and more
All the signs I ignored
Still you made him your choice
Don't call me, don't call me
Call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
Honey you, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
Only you
Do your thing, baby
Do your thing, baby, baby do your thing, baby
Yeah smoke out your brains, baby
Yeah, let's get stoned, do the same, baby
Tomorrow, yeah, and if you broke, bae you can borrow it
Yeah, I want you, baby no sorrow
I do this shit because I got it, oh
I got bitches with me, I got on a poncho
And I know you wanna beat it like brrrambo
Yeah but I got 'em sittin' up in the nosebleeds
You can't see 'em 'less you own a helicopter, oh
You throwed off, you should go and see a doctor, bro
I'm standin' up tall on the bankroll
One, two, three, make the crowd roar
Nigga, one, two, three, make the crowd go
Crazy
Call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
Ayy Carnage, I got you, mothafucka
So why's, call me, back on my voice
I swear to God, nigga, you dig?
With a golden shovel, iced out AP, not the Rollie bezel, oh
Honey you, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
Only you
In Shakka's song "Don't Call Me," the lyrics express frustration and annoyance towards someone who previously turned their back on Shakka but still reaches out to him. Shakka warns the person not to call him, except when faced with extreme circumstances such as being in pain on the floor. Shakka reminisces the past where he was all the person needed and provided everything they sought. However, Shakka has moved on and refused to be used again, hence the demand not to call him. He further reinforces his demands in the chorus, where he repeats the phrase, "back on my voice," questioning why the person keeps reaching out to him. The song carries the theme of moving on and refusing to revisit the past hurts.
The lyrics also emphasize Shakka's confidence in himself and his ability to attract other women. He tells the person to do their thing and smoke out their brains while he has his fun with different women. The song's third verse features rapper Carnage, who brags about his wealth and crowd control abilities while reinforcing Shakka's message of moving on from previous hurtful relationships.

They can only be seen from a helicopter or other high vantage point
You throwed off, you should go and see a doctor, bro
You're acting crazy and need to seek medical attention
