DOER

YahBoy Codi is a South African Christian hip hop artist whose story of struggle and redemption defines his music.
Formerly known as Jigsaw on the battle rap circuit Scrambles4Money, Codi earned respect for his sharp wit, punchlines, and relentless delivery. But behind the bars, he was fighting battles of his own—anxiety, identity, depression, and addiction—which led to a three-year break from music.
Born in Mafikeng, raised in Eldorado Park, and later moving to the East Rand, he grew up inspired by ‘90s boom bap and underground hip hop. Today, that raw influence meets a renewed purpose as he crafts music centered on faith, hope, and truth in Christ.
Since returning, Codi has released twelve singles, including The Drop, Rose Up, BANG! Amazing, Done For Me, and his latest anthem GIM (God In Me), while also featuring on multiple collaborations.
Now performing as YahBoy Codi, he is determined to use his lyricism and storytelling to bring light to a world in despair—proving that God truly gives life its greater meaning.
