Alikiba – Jiji Ft. S2kizzy

Alikiba links up with S2kizzy on “Jiji,” a Bongo Flava record built for anyone chasing a better life in the city.

The song speaks to young people who move to the city looking for opportunity. But “Jiji” warns against measuring your progress by what you see on social media. Behind the pictures and the glamorous moments, there are struggles nobody posts about.

S2kizzy handles the production here, and he builds the track around strong Bongo Flava percussion. The modern groove gives Alikiba room to work, while his smooth style sits well against the song’s reflective message. S2kizzy also features on the record, which adds another dimension to the collaboration.

Meanwhile, “Jiji” lands as a key moment in S2kizzy’s current run. It serves as a precursor to his upcoming studio album, so the timing makes sense for him. Two artists with different strengths, one grounded record about life in the city.
