Tiana Major9 is back with a new single after a two-year pause, stepping into familiar territory with a fresh perspective. The British R&B singer-songwriter has released “Shook One,” a reworking of Mobb Deep’s “Shook Ones Pt II.”
The track blends her vocal style with the grit of the original, creating an R&B ballad rooted in reflection. The lyrics confront love unspoken and affection unreturned, framing intimacy as a struggle between desire and hesitation. Lines such as “I just wanted you to say when I say that ‘I love you’ / But you run / Like a shook one” highlight the theme.
The song arrives with a video directed by Benji Allen and filmed in black and white across New York City. The imagery moves through subway cars, sidewalks, and summer scenes before pausing at a mural honoring Mobb Deep. The setting ties her tribute back to the city that shaped the original.
“Shook One” continues Tiana’s path of merging R&B with personal storytelling, reclaiming her voice while nodding to a cornerstone of hip-hop.
