The songwriter and
producer of reggae and dancehall music known as Jahzo has released
his latest official single, “Dutty Wine.” The single has been
proudly published as an independent release without the involvement
of the corporate music industry. In addition to the considerable
talents of Jahzo, himself, “Dutty Wine” also features the talents
of popular S. African artist Swazi K. Fun, danceable, and bringing
that legitimate SA reggae sound, “Dutty Wine” showcases Jahzo as
one of the most intriguing dancehall music artists of summer 2019 and
promises he has plenty more where that came from. The single “Dutty
Wine” has been presented by Rudebwoy Entertainment.
South Africa's Jahzo cites
as main artistic influences Jamaican artists such as Mavado, Agent
Sasco (AKA "Assassin"), Alkaline, Buju Banton, Bob Marley,
Busy Signal and Popcaan. Jahzo's own sound takes elements from each
of these and adds something fresh and unique for a result unlike
anything today's reggae fans have heard before. With an emphasis on
rhythm and a heavy dose of mellow good humor, “Dutty Wine” by
Jahzo is sure to please every longtime listener of the style.
Asked to describe the
overall meaning of “Dutty Wine,” Jahzo writes, “'Dutty Wine'
shares a message of fun and happiness in the spirit of summer, making
it a good jam for the season.”
Jahzo was born
Khathutshelo Trevor Muambadzi in Venda, Limpopo, South Africa.
“I fell in love
with dancehall music during my varsity years in Cape Town,” he
writes. “It was not until 2008 that I had my first opportunity to
record my first song at Rudebwoy Entertainment Studios, which I now
co-own with my brother.”
From that beginning it was
clear Jahzo would be a popular name in the scene. His first track
featured Major and Selector Jugglin. He has said that that’s when
he realized he could contribute towards the South African dancehall
movement.
2011 saw the release of
his popular “Dem ah Fraud” single, which received play on public
radio such as Phalaphala FM and YFM. The track later got an official
music video which surfaced in 2013. This was followed by “Step Weh
from Bottom” and “Burn Dem,” produced by Flyweh records in Cape
Town and released in 2015. 2016 found Jahzo dropping his “Where Mi
Come From” single, which also aired on Phalaphala FM, YFM and
Tshwane FM, and which also received an official music video in 2016.
His “African Queen” 2017 single saw him paired with Ghanaian
artist June Hype, with whom he shot another video, this time directed
by the country's best director, Kofi Awuah, who would go on to
present this current release of “Dutty Wine.” 2018: Jahzo drops
“Kuff Dem” feat. Bun Pot and Muzzla Kartel. The song goes on high
rotation on YFM and other stations. Again a music video, again it is
well received and makes it to Reggaeville and Channel O, as did
“African Queen.”
Jahzo's 17 track EP, “The
Intro,” appeared as a free download in 2018, featuring artists like
Bun Pot and Swazi K, the latter of whom is also featured on “Dutty
Wine.”
“Dutty Wine”
represents the first taste of Jahzo's official debut LP album of the
same name, “Dutty Wine,” which commemorates his tenth year in
music. The entire album has an expected drop date of December 2019.
“Dutty Wine” was
produced, mixed and mastered by Paul Hauss in Germany. Hauss has
worked with dancehall artists such as Busy Signal, I-Octane, Beenie
Man, Bounty Killer and many more.
“Dutty Wine” by
Jahzo is available from over 600 quality digital music stores online
worldwide now. Get in early, reggae and dancehall music fans.
