Mr JazziQ Releases New Album Coolest in the City: 11 Tracks Bring Amapiano Collaborators Together
Mr JazziQ new album, Coolest in the City, features 11 Amapiano tracks with thesiix, Don Deeya, Young Mafia and other collaborators.
South African Amapiano DJ and producer Mr JazziQ has released a brand-new album titled Coolest in the City, giving fans another collection of music as the genre continues to reach audiences across the country and beyond.
The 11-track project arrived on 3 November 2026 and features several artists who have worked with the producer, alongside other contributors from the Amapiano scene. The album includes thesiix, Don Deeya, Young Mafia, A.W.O, Shazz RSA, Magwe ZA, Lemaza, Freddy K, De Rose, Shoes Meister, LoidZa and Ntandokazi M.
Released through Mr JazziQ under an exclusive licence to ONErpm, the project places collaboration at the centre of its sound. Rather than relying on one guest appearance, the tracklist brings different combinations of artists together across the album.
Mr JazziQ brings a fresh Amapiano project to listeners
The release adds another chapter to Mr JazziQ’s career as a DJ, producer and contributor to South Africa’s Amapiano movement.
The album’s title, Coolest in the City, reflects the artist’s connection to the environments and communities that influence his music. In the release announcement, Mr JazziQ explained that he wanted the project to represent the lifestyle and culture he is part of.
He also described the city as an important source of inspiration, connecting the music to the people, places, fashion and experiences around him.
The producer said he wanted listeners to enjoy the project in different settings, whether they were spending time with friends, driving, attending a groove or listening at a major event.
That approach gives the album a broad audience. Amapiano is closely connected to social experiences in South Africa, from gatherings with friends to dance floors and live performances. A project built around those settings has the opportunity to connect with listeners in different ways.
The 11-track album features a wide range of artists
One of the biggest talking points surrounding Coolest in the City is its extensive list of collaborators.
The album opens with Nostalgia, featuring thesiix, before moving into Utshwala Bay’zolo, which includes Ntandokazi M, Shazz RSA, Don Deeya and thesiix.
Another collaboration, Circle Bigger, brings together Don Deeya, thesiix, Magwe ZA and Lemaza. The fourth track, Tay’tela, features A.W.O, De Rose and Freddy K.
The project continues with Bib Series 001, featuring LoidZa and thesiix. One of the highlighted songs is Wozo’bona, which brings together Young Mafia, Don Deeya and A.W.O alongside thesiix.
Other songs include Ziwa Rough, featuring Don Deeya and Shoes Meister, and Chommie Angeke, which includes Shoes Meister, thesiix and A.W.O.
The final section of the album features Skuta, Stance Social and Katalia. These tracks continue the collaborative approach, with contributions from Shazz RSA, Magwe ZA, Don Deeya and thesiix.
The tracklist gives listeners several different artist combinations to explore instead of presenting the same lineup throughout the project.
thesiix and Don Deeya feature prominently
Although the album has a large guest list, some names appear more frequently than others.
Thesiix is credited on ten of the eleven tracks, making the artist one of the most prominent collaborators on the project. Don Deeya also has a strong presence, appearing across several songs.
A.W.O, Shazz RSA and Magwe ZA contribute to multiple tracks, while the remaining artists bring additional collaborations to particular parts of the album.
This repeated involvement gives the project a sense of connection between its songs. Listeners who enjoy one collaboration may discover another track featuring familiar voices.
The release also provides an opportunity for some of the participating artists to reach listeners who may not have followed their individual work before.
For emerging contributors, being included on a project by an established producer can introduce their music to a wider audience. It also gives listeners a chance to explore the different sounds and styles represented in the Amapiano community.
Wozo’bona and Katalia add to the album’s appeal
Two songs that stand out in the album’s release campaign are Wozo’bona and Katalia.
Wozo’bona brings together Young Mafia, Don Deeya and A.W.O, with thesiix also credited on the track. It was identified as the project’s current single in the album announcement.
Katalia features Shazz RSA, Don Deeya and Magwe ZA alongside thesiix. The song also has a place in the wider rollout of the album, having been introduced ahead of the full project.
The two releases help introduce listeners to the collaborations that run through Coolest in the City. They also give fans an entry point before exploring the remaining songs.
However, the album is not built around only these tracks. Its eleven-song collection offers several other combinations, giving listeners more material to discover.
Another active chapter in Mr JazziQ’s music career
The release follows a busy period for Mr JazziQ, who has continued putting out music and working with other artists.
His work has often involved collaborations, both through individual releases and larger projects. That approach is visible again on Coolest in the City, where the credits show a broad network of musicians contributing to the finished album.
The project also connects music with the wider culture surrounding Amapiano. Its title and the producer’s comments highlight the influence of township life, social spaces and the everyday experiences that shape the genre.
For South African listeners, the album arrives as another opportunity to support local music and discover artists working together within the scene.
With eleven tracks and a substantial list of collaborators, Coolest in the City gives fans plenty of music to explore. Whether listeners are following Mr JazziQ’s work or discovering the featured artists for the first time, the album brings several familiar and newer names into one project.
The album is now available on major digital music platforms, including Apple Music and other streaming services.
As fans spend more time with the release, individual tracks and collaborations may become favourites in their own right. For now, Mr JazziQ has added another collaborative Amapiano project to his catalogue, with Coolest in the City putting the people around his sound firmly in the spotlight.
