Shatta Wale kicks off his year by letting go the new single and music video for "1 Don."

"1 Don" sees the Ghanaian heavyweight going in over dancehall synths & drums for a boastful and uplifting new tune. The track's accompanying music video, shot by PKMI, follows Shatta Wale as he goes from a hotel bed to its outdoor villa as he's backed by a crew of friends.


The new single follows Shatta Wale's late 2020 releases like "Hajia Bintu" featuring Ara B & Captan and "Borjor." The Ghanaian star continued to make waves last year by being featured on Beyoncé's Black Is Kingfor his contribution to the The Lion King: The Gift standout "Already." He also made it on Barack Obama's summer 2020 playlist for that same song.
