Mr JazziQ Enlists Focalistic and Busta 929 for New Single ‘Hello Mo’Girl’
Listen to Mr JazziQ's single 'Hello Mo'Girl' featuring Focalistic and Busta 929.
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.
