DJ Jossy James has revealed information about his upcoming mixtape This Is Afro, hinting that the project may drop next week once he completes it.
While teasing the new mixtape, Jossy James did not give a concrete release date but said the project could drop next week if everything goes well with its production.
This Is Afro is set to be DJ Jossy James' new project as he continues to explore various genres of African music. Jossy James has previously worked with genres such as Afrobeats, Highlife, Juju, and Hip-Hop.
From the name of the mixtape, it appears that the DJ is taking the project in the direction of African sounds. However, DJ Jossy James has not revealed details about the tracklist or the artists who will be featured on the mixtape.
Raised in Ajegunle, Lagos, DJ Jossy James grew up in an environment where he was exposed to various genres of Nigerian music. Born Joseph James, he developed an interest in music from an early age.
Various genres have influenced DJ Jossy James and his mixing style. Along with his interest in African music, the DJ also listens to contemporary music, allowing him to bring African sounds and modern music together in his mixes.
Over the years, DJ Jossy James has performed in different places outside Nigeria. From London to New York and Nairobi, the DJ has taken his work to audiences in different parts of the world while introducing them to African sounds.
His interest in different African sounds is expected to influence This Is Afro. Rather than focusing on one genre, the mixtape is expected to bring different sounds from across African music together in one project.
The release of the mixtape also comes as African music continues to reach a wider international audience. DJs have played a role in this growth by introducing listeners to new artists and records through mixes and live performances.
DJ Jossy James has also worked with artists and supported emerging acts. His work therefore extends beyond performances, with discovering and sharing new music remaining an important part of what he does.
For now, the focus is on completing This Is Afro.
The mixtape may drop next week, but Jossy James will need to complete the project before it is released. This means the release date could still change depending on how the production progresses.
Further information about the tracklist, and official release date is expected before the mixtape arrives.
