Young Jonn Reinforces His Afrobeats Credentials With Debut Album “Jiggy Forever”

Young Jonn, the trailblazing Nigerian artist and producer, makes his play for the books with the release of his highly anticipated debut album, Jiggy Forever. One of the most exciting breakout talents within Afrobeats in recent years, Jiggy Forever is an expansive 16-track exploration that transports listeners into the producer-turned-singer’s world across different physical, emotional, and sonic landscapes.

“This album is really special to me. I feel like most people don’t really know who I am. They just have an idea, 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.”

Jiggy Forever boasts an exceptional lineup of heavyweight talent, featuring collaborations with Sean Paul, Kizz Daniel, Seyi Vibes, Blaqbonez, Zlatan, Don Jazzy and Ya Levis that exemplify Young Jonn’s ability to shine amongst the diaspora’s elite. LP opener Tony Montana offers a charismatic introduction as he likens himself to the mafia legend, whilst Pot Of Gold incorporates South-East Asian percussion with an Amapiano log drum as he questions if he’ll ever find his true love. Bahamas picks up the pace on a fun and feel-good production, whilst the Magicsticks- produced Aquafina sees him channel his inner Romeo as he laments the lack of love experienced in a one sided relationship.

Originally making his name as the producer behind hits for Olamide, Naira Marley, Davido, Tiwa Savage and Zinoleesky amongst others, and earning the nickname “The Wicked Producer” in the process, he stepped out of the shadows and signed a record deal with Nigeria’s foremost record label Chocolate City Music in 2021, wasting no time in making his presence felt as an artist with debut single Dada off his first EP Love Is Not Enough – becoming an instant smash and leading to Davido jumping on the remix.
