Rising singer-songwriter Cool JB has released his latest single, “Family Matter”, a heartfelt
anthem that speaks directly to the struggles of survival and the power of family in a challenging
society. The track, featuring Inspiraystonner, blends reggaeton, dancehall, and Afrobeats,
creating a dynamic Afro-fusion soundscape that’s both emotional and infectious.

At its core, “Family Matter” tells the story of the African man’s daily grind—pushing through
hardship, carrying the weight of responsibility, and holding on to love for family as motivation.
The single was written and produced by Joshua Hussain (Cool JB), co-written by Olagunle
Johnson, and mixed and mastered under Lukhasstar Records. The result is a track that
balances lyrical depth with irresistible rhythm, making it a standout ahead of Cool JB’s highly
anticipated album, UNIVERSE.
Born Joshua Hussain, Cool JB is more than a rising star—he’s a Nigerian Afro-fusion artist,
record producer, and mix engineer whose journey reflects both resilience and passion. Raised
in Lagos with roots in Kogi State, his love for music began in childhood, inspired by legends like
Zule Zoo and Tony Tetuila. Over the years, he refined his craft through experimentation,
collaboration, and formal training at Obafemi Awolowo University, where he further developed
his artistry.

Cool JB’s versatility sets him apart. With a sound shaped by both African rhythms and global
influences—from James Blunt to Enrique Iglesias—he weaves stories that resonate universally.

His journey includes forming the group Windstars with his brother Daniel, recording his first
single “Jofunmi” in 2010, and producing countless tracks for independent artists across Nigeria.
Now, with “Family Matter”, Cool JB cements his reputation as an artist with a voice for the
people. Listen to “Family Matter” on all platforms HERE

The Bears Palace in Pretoria – South Africa was buzzing with excitement as it hosted the star-studded “Heritage Night Concert”, an event expertly put together by Best Way Travel and Tours. The venue was packed to the brim with music enthusiasts, all eager to witness the Ghanaian music sensation Strongman perform live. And perform he did – with a show that left the crowd in awe.

Additionally, the night featured some fantastic contributions from Kumawood acts like AKA Ebenezer and Opoku Bilson, who wove stage play and entertainment into the fabric of the evening.
