Zimbabwean Artists Raise Their Flag High In Rwanda

Point Black Entertainment’s Jordan MoOzy was honoured with an invitation to perform at ACCES 2024, Music In Africa’s conference for collaborations, exchange and showcases held in Kigali, Rwanda.  The showcases which are the headline of the Access Music Festival featured some of the continent’s most dedicated stars such as Nasty C, Heavy K, Zaki Abrahim and Assa Matusse. Jordan MoOzy gave an electrified performance on the second night of the event that left fans and attendees awestruck as he performed a series of unreleased tracks set to be released on his upcoming Pretty Boys World Wide project.

Flanked by members of the Shabach band who supported him on stage and their enigmatic band leader Spirit Fingerz, the set also featured a surprise performance from King98 who brought a renewed level of energy as he performed a remix to his hit song Kachiri supported by Jordan Moozy.  

Jordan MoOzy supported by Shabach The Band and King 98 were also booked to perform at the increasingly popular Sofar Kigali event the following night.

While in Rwanda for their Acces performance, Jordan Moozy, Spirit Fingerz and King 98 were also invited to a writing camp hosted in partnership with Universal Music Publishing and Vth Season that took place between 13 and 15 November in Kigali, Rwanda. Zimbabwean trio impressed at the camp while working on well over 10 songs with some of the continent's most promising talents such as King Kivumbi, Heavy K, Booukouru and many more. 

Producer Spirit Fingerz helmed the official camp theme song while the proudly Zimbabwean contingent included artists like Banshee, Indigo and Bantu Spaceship. Other splendid artists from Rwanda, South Africa, Uganda, Ethiopia, Liberia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria made contributions to the recording camp which birthed several collaborations. The entire program was a creative goldmine, with an array of activity spread across keynotes,  masterclasses, exhibitions, industry talks and live shows.

Performances at Acces and Sofar Sounds Kigali

A particular standout performer was Jordan MoOzy, who brought his emotive blend of pop and acoustic to the fore at the ACCES and Sofar Kigali stages. The self-proclaimed ‘Gen-Z Afropilitan’ served his multilingual brand of R&B, alté, highlife and hip hop-infused afropop and converted and wowed audiences into brand new followers.

ACCES’ goal of harnessing impactful, long-term creative collaborations across 3 days had the desired aims of the facilitation of artistic development through opportunities for placements in film and TV projects, library music contributions and commercial releases.

Jordan Moozy Is Just Chasing Dollars

Jordan Moozy’s latest single “Chansing Dollar” is an artistic reimagining of the hustler’s anthem song. A motivational and aspirational mantra layered with a cacophony of sounds. Jordan MoOzy rides effortlessly over a mid-tempo production accentuated by rhythmic percussion as he reminds us of his priorities, “Drink water mind my business, love my neighbour, fitness, Chasing dollar” 

DETAILS

  • Song Title: Chasing Dollar

  • Artist: Jordan Moozy

  • Producer: KD Bangers, Flex the Ninja

  • Writers: Emmanuel Jordan Muzenda, Yaone Harris Koi Koi 

  • Label: Point Black

  • ISRC: USLZJ2342640

Listen To Chasing Dollar

Jordan Moozy’s latest single “Chasing Dollar” is an artistic reimagining of the hustler’s anthem song. A motivational and aspirational mantra layered with a cacophony of sounds. Jordan Moozy rides effortlessly over a mid-tempo production accentuated by rhythmic percussion as he reminds us of his priorities, “Drink water mind my business, love my neighbour, fitness, Chasing dollar” 

The song is a hybrid of High Life, Afrobeats and Pop that displays Jordan’s musical dexterity and talents as he merges varied sounds and effortlessly delivers harmonies and raps that switch between English and Setswana.

Chasing Dollars is Jordan’s first release after his critically acclaimed De’Grace EP of 2022 and his first release under Point Black Entertainment.

‘Chasing Dollar’ is not just a song, it is a mantra. 

Download Chasing Dollar Radio Edit

“One cloudy day in December of 2022, KD Bangers played me the beat for what is now known as Chasing Dollar. As I played around with words, style, and rhythm, the chorus organically formed with a feel of a mantra. We played back the recording over and over again, and the hook stuck like a nursery rhyme.

Chasing Dollar transcends beyond material manifestation. It is first a belief system, that wealth and success are our birthrights. Secondly, it is a mindset that calls on you to rise and chase your dreams. Many of us have buried our dreams and we are walking around with their graveyards within us. Lastly, it is a legacy. When we chase our dreams and follow what's in our hearts, we inevitably inspire those around us to do the same, thus spreading more light into the world. We leave behind a blueprint of self-actualization for the next generation.

So, as you take that sip of water; sit down to write that proposal; as you greet your neighbour; lift that weight at the gym; and count your stack at the end of the business day - this is the song I wrote to remind you why you do what you do.” - Jordan Moozy
