LAGOS, NIGERIA – April 12, 2024 – Chocolate City Recording artist and producer, Young Jonn has released his debut album “Jiggy Forever,” available for streaming everywhere.

LISTEN HERE

Featuring the recent Confidence anthem “Big Big Things” featuring Seyi Vibes and Kizz Daniel, along with “Hold On” with Grammy award-winning artist Sean Paul and the high tempo single “Go Hard“, “Jiggy Forever,” (inspired by his catchphrase ‘Jiggy’), effortlessly embodies the elements of the afrobeats, afropop and amapiano genres, with Young Jonn’s signature energetic performance style.

Also featured on the album is the amapiano themed love anthem “Aquafina” which garnered 30 million streams and 7 million views on YouTube and “Sharpally,” which amassed 30 million streams and counting since its release. Touted to be his best body of work yet, “Jiggy Forever” will be a valuable addition to the track record of quality projects, as demonstrated on Young Jonn’s first two EP’s “Love is Not Enough 1 & 2.” LISTEN HERE.

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

The listening party for Young Jonn’s new album release was a lively affair, filled with excitement and anticipation. Fans and industry insiders alike gathered at The Astor Club in Hollywood on Thursday, April 4th, eager to hear the highly anticipated tracks from the acclaimed artist. Young Jonn himself took the stage, warmly welcoming everyone and providing insights into the creation of each song. As the album played, the crowd was immersed in the infectious beats and captivating lyrics, grooving along to the music and sharing in the collective experience. There were moments of high energy, with attendees dancing and singing along, as well as moments of reflection, as the emotive tracks resonated with listeners. Throughout the night, there was a palpable sense of celebration and admiration for Young Jonn’s talent and creativity, making the listening party a memorable event for all who attended.

 

Young Jonn’s entrance into the African music industry began in 2021, shortly after signing an Artist Recording Agreement with Nigeria’s foremost record label, Chocolate City Music. He then went on to release his first project “Love Is Not Enough Vol. 1” which reached critical acclaim, scoring a remix to his first single “Dada” with popular Afrobeats artist, Davido. The EP showcased a fusion of talents, including the collaboration with singer, songwriter, and recording artist VEDO on the crossover pop track, “Next To You.” Additionally, the project boasted production collaborations with esteemed industry maestros such as Niphkeys and Dozer.

In 2022, Young Jonn unveiled “Xtra Cool” as a standout track from his sophomore project, “Love Is Not Enough” Vol. 2,” which ranked in Rolling Stone’s Best Songs of 2022 and reached number one on Apple Music, Deezer, Shazam and Radio in Nigeria within two weeks of release, and charting in over 89 countries. He ended the year with a feature from street-pop artist Zlatan titled “Astalavista“, a buzzy pop record.

Young Jonn joins the ranks of talented acts under the Chocolate City Music Label umbrella. Founded in Nigeria in 2005 by Audu Maikori, Paul Okeugo, and Yahaya Maikori, Chocolate City Music stands as a beacon of success in Africa’s urban music landscape. With artists like Blaq Bonez and Candy Bleakz, the label plays a vital role in shaping and championing the Afrobeats genre. Renowned for nurturing producers into superstars, such as CKay with his hit “Love Nwantiti,” Chocolate City Music contributes significantly to the global prominence of African music.

Powered by an amapiano-infused bassline, rap air horns and a tropical melody, this banger (Big Big Things) is all about being unstoppable – Billboard

 

’Sharpally”, is an infectious, bright track that hypnotizes from the get-go with its sleek, expansive soundscape and potent vocal performance.  – Earmilk

 

Young Jonn’s electric music portfolio combines with inspiring melodies, making him a force to be reckoned with on the music charts.”- Wonderland
