Having made its production debut last year with the Balla rhythm album, US-based Jamaican label Jediimusiq is gearing up to release its latest project titled Jama-piano.
Jama-piano is a fusion between dancehall and South African music genre Amapiano.
Jediimusiq previews its forthcoming sophomore album with the release of the song IDK, recorded by reggae fusion female artiste Tuff Like Iron.
IDK was released on September 22.
“IDK is the first single off my upcoming album The Jama-piano, which is a blend of amapiano and dancehall vibe concept to the rhythm. We added some artistes who bring the Caribbean and dancehall flavour to the project,” said producer Realjedii, who also shared that the full rhythm project will be released in a few weeks.
The producer spoke about working with Tuff Like Iron on IDK.
“The collaboration with Tuff Like Iron came about after I came across her work. I then reached out to her, and the rest was history,” said Realjedii.
Also featured on The Jama-piano project are a mix of established and emerging acts, which include Lutan Fyah, Perfect Giddimani, Teflon Young King, and Tall Genna.
“I do have a couple more names to release, but those will be a surprise for now,” he shared.
Said Realjedii: “Working with Tuff on this track was super creative, to say the least! She’s quick and has such great ideas which made for an easy flow.”
Tuff Like Iron was also complimentary about working with the producer on the song.
“Jediimusiq’s rhythm was the spark. I wanted to blend dancehall vibes with this funky amapiano beat to create something fun, flirty, and infectious – IDK turned out bright, bubbly, and perfect for the dancefloor,” she said.
Tuff Like Iron continued: “Working with Jediimusiq was a good vibe. I loved the beat and knew I had to bring the heat with flow and lyrics that matched the energy. It all came together seamlessly, and I’m loving how IDK turned out.”
As a youngster living in Portmore, Realjedii developed a love for football. Although he often played for fun with his friends at school and in his community, he never thought of playing the game professionally. However, music was his calling.
“My passion for music developed naturally from my early teens and grew stronger, as most of my friends were either making beats, producing music or singing,” Realjedii disclosed.
