Mr JazziQ Enlists Focalistic and Busta 929 for New Single ‘Hello Mo’Girl’

One half of the duo JazziDisciples, Mr JazziQ, has a new solo single. The song features Busta 929 and the rapper Focalistic.


Focalistic has made a name for himself rapping over beats that are either pure amapiano or are inspired by the incumbent subgenre of house music in South Africa.

In true amapiano fashion, the instrumental to "Hello Mo'Girl" is built over a deep bassline reminiscent of 90s and 2000s kwaito. Focalistic raps with the personality and light-heartedness that's at the heart of kwaito and amapiano. His lines are sparse in form and lyrically, they are easy on the ear, with catchphrases that you'll catch if you are educated enough to understand Pitori slang.

Mr JazziQ and his partner in beats Josiah The Disciple. The duo churned out multiple hits last year and released their debut album Disciples of Piano. They also played at Black Coffee's annual concert Music is King in December—they were the only amapiano outfit on the lineup.
