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).
Say Nada
Shakka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know them days
You want things to fall in place
While keeping up with this pace
You're tryna keep a smile on that face
So you're raving on the weekday
Off that street and into this rave
Fam, it's mad (it's mad)
Ladies dancing on you like you're on your stag (you're on your stag)
Please, somebody get this man a cab
He's licked like blam
My ex left saying she ain't got the time, yo
I double take and pray the e-mail was a typo
I call my mate and now we're in the same life boat
The same day, his was cheating with a shite bloke
Come on now, it's kind of peak
Nice guys should keep all of their receipts
I don't need a shoulder, I'm just looking for a freak
With dirty jokes and a love for tasty meat
Dutty wingmen, to the party we go
Wray and all his nephews reppin' sweet talks
Shakka Khan, meet my Portuguese friend, won't you please
She makes dirty jokes and she loves the way you speak
Say nada
Na na na na na na
Say nada
Na na na na na na
Say nada
I'm just looking for a freak
Someone who likes tasty meat
Say nada
Na na na na na na
Say nada
Na na na na na na
Say nada
I'm just looking for a freak
I hope she likes tasty meat
Say nada
Alley-oop
She's on my brain, five shots is all it took
Mandem make excuses when their line gets a shutdown
I keep it sweet, never really liked my grapes sour (bloodfire)
Whose hands round me?
I can smell the Wray, she's as waved as me
Motions of her wave says she knows how to hula
Gun fingers, spitting all the words to Money Trees
Shout-out all the wingmen in the party I know
Wray and all his nephews reppin' sweet talks
Shakka go be my friend's best friend from Belize
She loves TDE, favourite song's Collard Greens
Say nada
Na na na na na na
Say nada
Na na na na na na
Say nada
I'm just looking for a freak
Someone who likes tasty meat
Say nada
Na na na na na na
Say nada
Na na na na na na

I hope she likes tasty meat

JME
You want a selfie?
Blud I'm raving, please
Am I gonna touch mic, you'll have to wait and see
And if I do, mosh pit blatantly
Shakka's at the bar, waved off Wray's, it's peak
I ain't got my car so I have to pay fifty
To this Uber to get away quickly
Pass the AUX lead and let me play this beat
One day I'll make a million (one day I'll make a million)
I'll buy a four-figure ring (buy a four-figure ring)
And she will be a buff-ting (certified buff-ting)
And every night we're going in (every night we're going ham fam)
One day I'll make a million (one day I'll make a million)
I'll get that four-figure ring (buy a four-figure ring)
I'll be hustlin' until then (hustlin' until then)
If she still wants to go in
Say nada
Na na na na na na
Say nada
Na na na na na na

The song "Say Nada" by Shakka is about a night out where the singer is trying to forget their problems and just have fun. The opening lines suggest that it's a rough day, and the singer wants the night to go well while keeping up with the fast-paced city lifestyle. The lyrics mention how the singer's ex left him and how he's just looking to have a good time without any emotional baggage. He refers to himself as a "nice guy" who is just looking for a "freak" to have fun with, instead of a serious relationship.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Say Nada," which roughly translates to "don't say anything" in Spanish. This is a common phrase used to tell someone to not worry about a situation and just let it be.
The song features UK rapper JME, who references his love for raving and getting into the mosh pit. Overall, the song is a catchy ode to partying and enjoying life despite any setbacks or heartbreaks.
