Mr JazziQ channels the pulse of the city into Coolest in the City (C.I.T.C), an 11-track album released through ONErpm and built on Amapiano, collaboration and the culture that moves him.
From township streets to packed dance floors, the project captures the places, people and late-night energy that shape his sound. The title is a statement of identity, rooted in the music, fashion and attitude of the communities he represents.
Across 11 tracks, Mr JazziQ pushes his signature sound into fresh territory, pairing driving grooves with a guest line-up that includes Thesiix, Don Deeya, A.W.O, Young Mafia, Shazz Rsa, Magwe ZA, Lemaza, Freddy K, De Rose, Shoes Meister, LoidZa and Ntandokazi M.
“Coolest in the City” is more than just a collection of songs. It’s about representing a lifestyle and a culture that I am part of. The city has its own energy, and I wanted that to come through in the music. It’s confident, it’s energetic and it’s unapologetically JazziQ,” says Mr JazziQ.
He continues, “I wanted to create a project that people can connect with in different spaces, whether they’re listening with friends, driving around, at a groove or on a big stage. Every track brings something different, but together they tell a story about the sounds, people and experiences that continue to inspire me.”
Following the first single, “Katalia”, current single “Wozo’bona” brings Young Mafia, Don Deeya and A.W.O into the mix, setting the pace for the full project.
With Coolest in the City, Mr JazziQ puts his city, his collaborators and his sound front and centre.
