Shake the Room" is a song by American hip hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince.

[1] Released on July 16, 1993, by Jive Records, as the second single from the duo's fifth studio album, Code Red (1993), the single peaked at numbers 13 and 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and Cash Box Top 100, as well as topping the charts of Australia, Ireland, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

Its music video was directed by American film director Scott Kalvert, featuring the duo performing onstage in front of a live crowd.

Shake the Room' as a "butt-shaggin' pop/hip-hop romp", remarking that the "highly danceable jam has a shouted, air-punching chorus that should work well in a live environment.

"[2] Troy J. Augusto from Cash Box felt that it "slams harder than any single this duo has so far produced", noting that the "groovin' track boasts sing-a-long chorus that'll make Hammer blush for sure".

[3] Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report wrote, "With the success Will Smith's had as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, he and Jazzy Jeff will probably do more than just "shake the room" at some stations.

"[6] James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update deemed it a "'Jump Around' type ultra frenetic jaunty rap jiggler".
