His new single “Shiva” is a fusion of hip-hop and the Nigerian afrobeat sound. Rooky got involved with music from his early days, and hip-hop, RnB, and Afrobeat are genres that define the kind of music he does. He combines elements of West African musical styles with American Hip-hop and later RnB and Soul influences.
Wizad, an exceptional music producer, produced this single, and it was mixed and mastered by Sir Bastien. This song will re-introduce Rooky’s musical prowess to the Nigerian music industry and provide him with the leverage to perform on the international stage and collaborate with foreign music artists and industry people. In this song, Rooky can be heard serenading his lover and telling her why she makes him Shiver. The evolution, persistence, mass appeal and fusion of RnB with the afrobeat genre that rooky has done with Shiva are signs of his career’s success and potential staying power.
