  • The Resurrection of Shake Body ft Skales
    May 19 2025

    10 years since the release of Shake Body, the song that had parties in a roar with its crazy opening beat and infectious rhythm, it has seen a resurrection for the third time, proving once again that a hit never truly dies.


    On this episode, Deji and Moyo speak to Skales about the renewed success of his breakout track. He takes us through an inspiring journey in music, from his days at EME to the painful exit that left him with nothing. Skales opens up about dealing with homelessness, navigating self-doubt, and how this one track remained a steady source of hope.


    Skales’ story is one of resilience, faith, and grace. As he shared with us, “God’s will is what is important.”


    Tune in for a truly special episode.
