Blacker, who won the love of female dancehall fans for his ' Bun Him' collaboration with Macka Diamond, is confident he has another massive banger on his hands with his soon-to-be-released track, 'TikTok Chaka Chaka'.

The song features Fully Bright deejay/dancer Anna Thickas and is produced by Outfytt Records/I.W.A.A.D Music LLC.

"The idea of the song came about after I went on TikTok and discovered a girl making a most outrageous posting. I immediately posted my disappointment, but instead of feeling ashamed, she went on TikTok to say how much she loved nastiness," Blacker said.

"I was so ashamed to know this was her feeling, having recalled that over the years we have been using TikTok to promote the worst side of Jamaica. These include gruesome scene of crimes, immorality with little girls dancing to the most raunchy songs, and even aspect of nakedness," he added.

TikTok is a short-form video hosting service which is popular among content creators such as entertainers. Blacker, who is a TokTok user, says he plans to tease his new song on the platform. He, however, laments that it is being misused by persons who chose to post content that is immoral, disrespectful, and glorifies violence.

"One of our most celebrated icons, Louise Bennett-Coverley, Miss Lou, used the term 'chaka chaka' to describe disorderly conduct, including dress and language. Miss Lou did all this to preserve our culture, but we are using TikTok to promote the ugly and dull side of Jamaica," Blacker reasoned.

Outfytt boss Shaka Pow, who is the song's producers, said that TikTok Chaka Chaka is laid on a riddim that is a remake of the 'Mud Up/Workie Workie' riddim, which featured the '90s classic, Young Gal Business.

"It captures the true essence of dancehall and has features of reggaeton and Afrobeat, all wrapped up in one," Shaka Pow said.
