HERITAGE: Shakka Illustrates His Blossoming Talent With A Cover Of Frank Ocean's "Thinking About You" (2013)


September 27, 2018

In the wake of his collaboration with Wretch 32, "Blackout", Shakka's name was beginning to ring out a little. All of a sudden the likes of 1Xtra were sniffing round him and pipping him as the next up.

One of the many gems to come from that era was this live cover of Frank Ocean's "Thinking Of You". It's not just a showcase of his golden vocal chords, this was also an introduction to the man behind the music. As soon as the mic's handed to him, Shakka's instantly likeable personality shines through, adding in lyrics like: The way you're staring at me is making me crap bricks like I stole all your toilet roll.

As long as we keep seeing that side of Shakka, as well as the heartstring-tugging vocals, then Shakka will be around for a long time to come.
