Cool&Blak Unveil Full Tracklist For Debut Collaborative Album ‘COME FIND YOUR TR!BE’
Cool&Blak Unveil Full Tracklist For Debut Collaborative Album ‘COME FIND YOUR TR!BE.’ Cool&Blak are ready to bring their people together. Pretoria rappers Jay Jody and Blaklez have officially unveiled the full tracklist for their debut collaborative album, COME FIND YOUR TR!BE, setting the stage for its release this Friday, 30 October 2026.
The 12-track project represents 18 months of creativity, collaboration and growth, with the duo previously describing the journey as one shaped by “blessings and lessons” that ultimately found their way into the music.
More than just a title, COME FIND YOUR TR!BE captures the spirit behind the Cool&Blak movement. Built around connection, culture and the importance of finding people who share your values, the project brings that philosophy into a full-length body of work rooted in lyricism, thoughtful storytelling and South African hip-hop.
Jay Jody and Blaklez each arrive with distinct artistic identities, making their partnership an intriguing meeting of perspectives. Jay Jody first gained wider recognition as a member of B3nchMarQ alongside his brother A-Reece before developing his own lane as a rapper, songwriter, producer and filmmaker. His acclaimed solo album Shine O’Clock further showcased his ability to blend storytelling with carefully crafted sonic atmospheres.
Blaklez, whose real name is Lesego Moiloa, brings years of experience and a reputation for reflective, socially conscious lyricism. Projects such as A Broken Man’s Dream, Baby Brother and Price of Peace have cemented his position as one of Pretoria’s respected voices, with his music often exploring personal struggles, society and the realities of everyday life.
Under the Cool&Blak banner, the two artists have continued to develop a shared sound that combines polished production with sharp writing and a strong sense of purpose. Their previously released singles have offered listeners a glimpse into the album’s direction, with “Gemstones,” “Book of Acts” featuring Lia Butler, “The Bill” with Kwazi M and the more recent “Naledi” featuring Miss Ready helping establish the foundation for the project.
Now, the complete tracklist gives listeners a clearer picture of what’s coming.
The album opens with “No Love” before moving into “Naledi” and “Bontle.” From there, the project continues with “Tsoga” featuring Miss Ready, “CBS” featuring Blue Pappi, “High Poetry” featuring Nandile and “Sweet” featuring ReasonHD.
The remaining tracks include “Quiet Money” featuring Slikour, “The Bill” credited to Jay Jody, Kwazi M, Blaklez and Cool&Blak, “Gemstones” credited to Jay Jody, Cool&Blak and Blaklez, “Shoe Fits” and “Book of Acts,” featuring Jay Jody, Lia Butler, Cool&Blak and Blaklez.
The guest appearances add another layer to the album’s identity. Miss Ready returns following her contribution to “Naledi,” while Blue Pappi, Nandile, ReasonHD and Slikour bring their own presence to the tracklist. Kwazi M and Lia Butler also reconnect with the duo on records that listeners have already encountered through earlier releases.
The balance between familiar singles and new material gives the album an opportunity to bring the different stages of Cool&Blak’s journey together into one cohesive listening experience.
Beyond the music, the duo have been building a community around their shared vision. Their Cool&Blak Sundays gatherings have created space for hip-hop, conversation, culture and connection, extending the partnership beyond the recording studio. That community-focused approach mirrors the message behind COME FIND YOUR TR!BE, inviting listeners to become part of something that reaches beyond the songs themselves.
The album artwork further reflects that understated approach, presenting the two artists standing side by side in a sunlit courtyard. The imagery feels grounded and intentional, reinforcing the idea of two individual artists coming together while remaining connected to their surroundings.
With the tracklist now public and release day just around the corner, anticipation is building for what Jay Jody and Blaklez have created over the past year and a half.
