Versatile musician Jackson Ng’ambi artistically known as Jay Rox yesterday, Wednesday 22 September released a brand new single and music video with Zambian hip-hop sensation Macky 2.
This simultaneous release according to a statement by media consultant Mutale Kani is for a song entitled ‘Calibre’ which is off Jay Rox’s forthcoming album ‘Enigma’.
The song and the video have been released under Headphone Music and Upfront Films which are both owned by Jay Rox.
Fresh off his Tanzanian working visit, Jay Rox announced this surprise collaboration, a record produced by Thembz TheeProducer, via his social media platforms, sending fans into meltdown.
This record is monumental as it is the first time Jay Rox is working on a solo project with the man who popularized the Kopala Swag movement.
The record is a feel good summer song that sees the two hip-hop sensations trade entertaining verses in between a melodious dancehall-esque hook.
Jay Rox’s verse is witty and rich in wordplay while Macky 2 makes use of braggadocio lines that are reminiscent of the hunger he displayed before he became a household name in Zambian music.
Jay Rox, widely remembered for his work with Zone Fam has made a name for himself as a solo artiste with consistent releases.
The artiste who also doubles as a television producer describes the collaboration as a culmination of years non-stop hard work.
“This is what years of being consistent, years of hit songs, years of being in the top 10, years of mastering the art, years of bars, years of writing our names to the history books sounds like,” he declared.
‘Calibre’ will be available on all major streaming platforms.
