J.S.K XXVI gives a double dose of wizardry and kasi flare with 'H.O.P.E' & 'FEDE'

Having unveiled his captivating and futuristic sound with his previous tracks such as "Apex", "Flying Whales", "Moodswings" and several others, J.S.K XXVI is no new act in Hip Hop.

The musician is known for his carefully crafted, poignantly composed and ‘real’ musical compositions that have laid the foundation of his brand and company, Approaching Atlantis.

J.S.K XXVI is giving hip-hop fans a double dose of his musical wizardry with his offerings, "H.O.P.E" and "FEDE".

On "H.O.P.E", J.S.K XXVI pulls at your heartstrings as he dedicates the track to his friend's mother, Hope, who passed away last year. The song features Afropop singer and the SOIL member Ntsika, who strikes all the right chords, as well as Canadian artist, Hilda.

"You can hear me speaking to my friend's mother when the track starts and mid-song, you can hear me talking to my friend and she says she's proud of me and can't wait to tell her mom about my song playing on YFM," the musician says.
With "FEDE", J.S.K XXVI proves that he cannot be boxed as he shows off just how much more he can do on production when he fuses Amapiano elements with hip-hop.

"FEDE", which features Mr. Elite, is an ode to J.S.K XXVI's diverse upbringing as he grew up eKasi in Standerton and later on moved to the burbs in Volksrust. With this song, he keeps in touch with the vibey and exciting Kasi culture and lifestyle.

H.O.P.E

Listen you don't need to convince me that it's gonna be good
I already know that it's gonna be good
I am ready
Sengiy'lindile, honestly
And with that young clip on your story, bruh

We just creatures with flaws
Would you ever recognize them if I wasn't yours
There's a time when we were strangers now I open your doors
Imagine
I open your doors now
Fanny packing flowers I need low lights
All your friends thinking I'm a low-life
We used to be friends way before life
Now we make plans for our whole lives
You got mood swings playing the harmony and honestly I vibe with cool trips
To Mercury for robbies and you get good ****
Pardon me, I'm sorry see
I got cool tricks and
Imma make you shake till your arm's sweaty
I'm waiting at the door if you are ready
On and off, oh and we are petty
Imma make you shake like you are jelly
Birds of the same feather's if you're ready to duck
Guess I am a little rusty coz I've been out of love
Fuck around
Call me Mr. Karma when I come around
She's taking all her balls for another round
Welcome to planet love

Fantasy, you in my dreams to get to you I have to sleep
Fantasy, your self esteem is low I see you hide from me
Fantasy, you see - I see you see me see you dream
But Fantasy I cannot sleep, so Fantasy I cannot dream

We just creatures with flaws
Would you ever put an eye on them if I wasn't yours
What you doing with your ex I thought you done with the boy
She said no you're in the past all your dreams didn't work
That is you, holy shit he looks familiar don't tell me it's true
I could be wrong but somebody caught the flu
It's taking too long I must get a better view, oh shit
It's done baby I'm finished
Your pride's got me diminished
Your site's all in our vibe, hold it I'm dying to see if you're with it
Damn that was a dream, I thought I couldn't sleep
Now I'm overthinking and we
Are yet to overcome the major flaws in our being
But you're hockey player so I guess your moods take swings
Fanny packing flowers I need low lights
All your friends thinking I'm a low-life
We used to be friends way before life
Now we make plans for our whole lives
Uh uh fuck that
Eight doobies to the face baby fuck trust
Thinking that I shouldn't and she thinking that I must, yea
Welcome to mars, baby

Fantasy, you in my dreams to get to you I have to sleep
Fantasy, your self esteem is low I see you hide from me
Fantasy, you see - I see you see me see you dream
But Fantasy I cannot sleep, so Fantasy I cannot dream

We just creatures with flaws
Would you ever put an eye on them if I wasn't yours
What you doing with your ex I thought you done with the boy
She said no you're in the past all your dreams didn't work
That is you, holy shit he looks familiar don't tell me it's true
I could be wrong but somebody caught the flu
It's taking too long I must get a better view, oh shit
It's done baby I'm finished
Your pride's got me diminished
Your site's all in our vibe, hold it I'm dying to see if you're with it

J.S.K XXVI strikes again with a summer tune!⁣
The festive season is upon us, so that means good vibes only. And what better way to pay tribute to Riky Rick than on a track that oozes the late rapper's pure energy and joy?⁣

J.S.K XXVI starts his verse on 'STRiKE' by remembering Mr Boss Zonke, Rikhado "Riky Rick" Makhado who co-signed him in 2015

Having already given his audience a summer track with F.E.D.E, the skilful artist strikes again and he's not doing it solo. 'STRiKE'  features musicians Eyelukeyung and Prycie as they make the message clear that they are all about the grind, which is why they "only pick up the phone unless the money's calling".⁣

Known for his multifacetedness in beat-making and executively producing all of his tracks, on  'STRiKE' the Mpumalanga-born artist stepped out of his comfort zone and left the executive reigns to his collaborators.⁣

"Disengaging from fear is imperative for one's growth.... the constant fight with what to do next. This is the reason I opted to go with a song like 'STRiKE' — the perfect balance between trusting Prycie and Eyelukeyung, sharing my platform and striking down the fear — as this is the first ever single by me that I did not executively compose," J.S.K XXVI says.⁣

Whether creating music that resonates beautifully with audiences, offering a raw and heartfelt channel of connection or on a song with vibrant musical elements that one can vibe to on a road trip or at a party, J.S.K XXVI did not compromise on the witty bars on this track too.⁣
