Pretoria hip-hop duo Cool&Blak, comprising Jay Jody and Blaklez, have officially unveiled the full tracklist for their highly anticipated collaborative album, COME FIND YOUR TR!BE. The 12-track project is scheduled for release on Friday, 30 October 2026.
The announcement offers fans a closer look at the music the two rappers have been developing over the past 18 months, a period they have described as a journey filled with lessons, growth and blessings.
More than a collaborative album, COME FIND YOUR TR!BE represents the duo’s shared vision of building connections through music, culture and community. With its focus on lyrical expression and thoughtful storytelling, the project aims to bring listeners into the world they have been creating under the Cool&Blak banner.
Jay Jody and Blaklez Bring Their Styles Together
The partnership brings together two artists with distinct approaches to South African hip-hop.
Jay Jody first gained wider recognition as part of B3nchMarQ alongside his brother A-Reece. He has since continued to develop his identity as a rapper, songwriter, producer and filmmaker. His solo album Shine O’Clock further showcased his storytelling abilities and atmospheric approach to music.
Blaklez, whose real name is Lesego Moiloa, brings years of experience and a reputation for reflective, socially conscious lyricism. His projects, including A Broken Man’s Dream, Baby Brother and Price of Peace, have explored personal struggles, social realities and everyday experiences.
Together, the artists have developed a partnership that combines their individual strengths while building a shared creative identity.
