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.

Toyé’s introduction to music was unorthodox. While others in his secondary school joined the choir to explore their talents, Toyé joined so he could enjoy the privilege of dining at the Oba’s Palace. Though a mischievous plan, he was saved from the dread of boarding house meals, all while quietly nurturing his budding interest in music.
On this episode of "The Toyé Show," we dive into his early years creating music, the pivotal moment he decided to take his craft seriously, and his latest project, "Wahala in Paradise." From his unconventional beginnings to finding his voice as an artist, Toyé shares insights on his journey, influences, and what it means to stay true to his sound.
