New Orleans Bounce Artist

MC Shakie, also known as the Official Host of New Orleans bounce music, is a Louisiana-based emcee and businessman.

He has perfected his unique style of “call and response”, performing throughout the city’s bounce genre.

MC Shakie earned his nickname because he started out as a dancer, but later focused on the business aspects of music, learning the tricks of the trade from his best friend and mentor, Westbank Arike, who also introduced him to several other bounce acts in New Orleans and helped him boost his local reputation.

Upon meeting Clacka Da Attacka, MC Shakie decided to try his hand at mixing. The result was “Sock It To Me”, his first hit as a producer.

During this time, MC Shakie wrote, co-wrote, produced, and inspired several New Orleans bounce hits. He never slowed down, armed with the name and tagline “MC Shakie Make Da Hoes Go Crazy,” he began releasing a series of mixtape releases, which became highly successful throughout the local scene.
