BBE Music’s sister label Batakari Music presents ‘The Red Line EP’, the debut release from Nigerian artist Jojoftheejungle.

Hailing from Ikeja, Lagos, home to both Femi Kuti’s ‘Africa Shrine’ and Lagbaja’s ‘Motherland’, Jojoftheejungle (aka J.O.J) got his start with local group Antigenx, before going solo in 2017.

Penning lyrics about hope, love and resilience, Jojoftheejungle’s distinctive vocals have featured on collaborations with Stgthaprodigy, Spotless, Jillionaire, MixtaDimz, Jaysynths, Bem Beats, Boddhi Satva and Hits Factory among others.

Featuring productions from Major Lazer’s Jillionaire, Beatsbymayor and Craybeats as well as Jojoftheejungle himself, The Red Line EP effortlessly blends Afrobeats, dancehall and pop sounds across its five charismatic, summery, feel-good tracks.

“The tracks on the EP talk about my personal experiences on the streets of Lagos” says J.O.J. “I’m sure a lot of people go through them daily. Although it’s for everyone, the EP is especially dedicated to those who have gone through a lot of emotional rollercoasters, and are still fighting. The Red Line is hope.”

About Batakari: A new collaborative venture from Boddhi Satva and BBE Music founder Peter Adarkwah, the Batakari Music label launched in 2020, committed to delivering deeply rooted, futuristic, inventive African sounds from across the continent and beyond.

★ PREMIERE ★ Emile Londonien - 'Covered Bridges'

French vocalist, beatboxer, songwriter and producer Sly Johnson unveils 55.4, his much-anticipated fourth studio album, released on BBE Music.

Hailing from Paris, Sylvère Johnson (Sly Johnson) is a major force on the French Hip-Hop, Soul and Jazz scenes, both as a solo artist and as a member of super-group SAIAN SUPA CREW for over a decade, where he was known by the moniker Sly The Mic Buddah.

When the crew broke up in 2007, Johnson began to carve out an impressive career, releasing on Blue Note and Universal Jazz, as well as collaborating with Larry Gold, Roddy Rod, T3 & Elzhi from Slum Village, Georgia Ann Muldrow, Dudley Perkins, FINALE, Erik Truffaz, and legendary French rapper Oxmo Puccino to IAM among many others.

Written and recorded during the first COVID lockdowns between March and May 2020, Sly Johnson’s fourth album blends Soul and Hip Hop, twinning vocal arrangements reminiscent of Prince and D’Angelo with loose, supple, beats and jazzy chords. Most of the musical heavy lifting is done by Johnson himself, but the album features bass by Laurent Salzard, guitar by Ralph Lavital and Anthony Jambon, keys by Nicholas Vella & Laurent Coulondre and a spellbinding guest vocal by Jona Oak.

Why 55.4? “It took 55 days of creation to make the songs of this 4th solo album” says Sly.

Double Kiss

A subtle exploration of displacement and silent resilience, where light bends around invisible boundaries. Each sound unfolds like a hidden corridor, revealing tension and grace. Between shadowy edges and luminous gaps, presence is claimed not by the place, but by the force of one's own pulse.
