Silent Nancy, Shaka The King – Tell Me What Side I’m On (Spotify)
“A musically vibrant blending of a variety of genres including Hip Hop, Soul & Reggae that would be as much at home in Kingston as it would be in New York, or London. The message is clear ‘Tell Me What side I’m on?’ The answer equally as clear. Racism has no place in the World. ”

The singer Katie Burke wakes up sober and Skype’s with her fellow musician Rocksteady Fred in Sweden. Together they are the duo Silent Nancy and they talk about how to fill the upcoming album with fantastic music. The conversation will soon be about the injustices that characterize American society. Why do significantly more white’s than black’s survive Covid 19? Also, can something be done about the widespread racism within the police force?
Together with Shaka The King, the idea for the song Tell me what side I'm on was born. Shaka runs a vegan restaurant, stands on the barricade, gets his worst frustrations out as a boxing instructor and raps late at night at the toughest underground hip hop clubs in New York. He has no problem making a song that questions society. Tell me what side I'm on, is a mix of Hip Hop, Soul and Reggae. Katie's unic voice and Shaka's rap stand out in the support of the Black Lives Matters movement. Silent Nancy plans to release two more singles next spring and the album will be released in the summer of 2021!
