The Video:

For songwriter, producer, and singer ZAKEE, 2011 turned out to be an outstanding year. In September, the triple threat released his debut album, Assimilations, a project that showed off a mix of ZAKEE's new sounds and earned him acclaim from a variety of outlets, not to mention year-end list nods from the likes of OkayAfrica and MTV Iggy. Now, having parted ways with his former label, Green Owl Records, and having entered into new management under Jay Jackson who also manages Santigold and SPANK ROCK, ZAKEE is looking forward to an exciting 2012, and is kicking off the new year with a trippy new, TriggerHappy-directed video for "Snakes."

While "Snakes" serves as the latest single from Assimilations, and ZAKEE is already hard at work putting the finishing touches on a string of new releases, including two EP's – Love & Sacrifices will be released in February, while an EP with production crew Drug Horse, the backing band who joined ZAKEE for the popular "Dope Girl" single, is currently in production – and a brand new full-length album. Each month, ZAKEE will also release a self-produced African compilation, the first of which can be downloaded here.

In addition to his solo endeavors, ZAKEE is also continuing his streak of collaborative work in the new year, enlisting Ski Beatz to remix Assimilations single "Shadow," and once again joining forces with M.I.A.'s brother, Sugu Arulpragasm, to form the production duo VIIXIIV. Having played a large role in last year's "VIKKIELEEXZ" mix from M.I.A., the VIIXIIV team will be bringing their genre-breaking production to some of music's biggest names this year, in addition to scoring for the film, Yelling To The Sky starring Zoe Kravitz.

The Background:

ZAKEE is a Philadelphia born-and-bred triple threat (songwriter, producer and artist). After receiving a dual degree in mathematics and computer engineering at Howard University, ZAKEE decided to focus on his craft and began to work alongside artists like M.I.A., The Very Best, and Rye-Rye, most notably on the track, "Gangsta Girl" for NBC's Friday Night Lights, which earned the artist a Rolling Stone nomination for Number 1 Artist to Watch. Dazed and Confused named ZAKEE "King of Ku Ku Bass" and he's toured with some of the greatest musicians in the world, such as The Roots, Erykah Badu, M.I.A. and Seun Kuti. ZAKEE has just released his latest project and debut album as an artist, Assimilations, on September 13th via Green Owl Records/ Warner Music Group.
