Following the release of heavy-hitting singles, “Aquafina” and “Go Hard”, which topped charts in East Africa, Chocolate City’s Recording artist and producer, Young Jonn is set to release his highly-anticipated debut album, Jiggy Forever as he sets his eyes on the EAST African market with his maiden tour of the region.
The tour scheduled for the 2nd half of 2024 seeks to encourage collaborations between the Afrobeats Genre and top talents from the East African market.
Jiggy Forever is a breezy 16-track listen that transports listeners across different physical, emotional, and sonic landscapes. Young Jonn moves from the depths of love and longing in the Caribbean Islands with Jamaican rapper, Sean Paul on “Hold On” to the thrills and grandeur of financial success in the streets of Lagos, Nigeria with Zlatan on “50 Million” and “Full My Tank” alongside Don Jazzy. On “Maya Maya” he enlists French-based Congolese sensation, Ya Levis, for a stylistic rendition detailing a young, whirlwind romance.
Also featured on the album is the amapiano themed love anthem “Aquafina” which garnered 30 million streams and 1 million views on YouTube and “Sharpally,” which amassed 30 million streams and counting since its release, and confidence anthem “Big Big Things” featuring Seyi Vibes and Kizz Daniel,.
“This Album is really special to me. I feel like most people don’t really know who I am. They just have an idea,” Young Jonn Says. “But this project uncovers the real me. Each track is like a snapshot of life’s roller coaster, touching on love, hustle, and finding my way in a world that sometimes feels upside down.”
Young Jonn’s transition from producer to music artist began in 2021, shortly after signing an Artist Recording Agreement with Nigeria’s foremost record label, Chocolate City Music. He then went on to release his first project Love Is Not Enough Vol. 1 which reached critical acclaim, scoring a remix to his first single “Dada” with popular Afrobeats artist, Davido. This was followed by Love Is Not Enough Vol. 2.
Touted to be his best body of work yet, Jiggy Forever will be a valuable addition to the track record of quality projects, as demonstrated on Young Jonn’s first two EP’s Love is Not Enough 1 & 2.
