Cool&Blak Announce Release Date For Debut Collaborative Album COME FIND YOUR TR!BE. South African hip-hop duo Cool&Blak, made up of Pretoria rappers Jay Jody and Blaklez, are gearing up for a major milestone with the announcement of their debut collaborative album, COME FIND YOUR TR!BE, officially arriving on 30 October 2026.
The duo shared the news across Instagram and X, reflecting on the journey behind the project and the lessons that have shaped its creation.
“We’re excited to announce the Cool&Blak Album, ‘COME FIND YOUR TR!BE’. Drops 30 October 2026. It’s been a year and a half on this journey with blessings and lessons which we’ve converted into great music. We hope it brings joy to many! See you soon!” they wrote.
The announcement marks the next chapter in a partnership that has steadily built its identity through thoughtful lyricism, polished production and a shared appreciation for hip-hop’s deeper roots. Over the past year and a half, Cool&Blak have offered listeners glimpses of their creative chemistry through singles such as “Gemstones,” “Book of Acts” featuring Lia Butler, “The Bill” and “Naledi” featuring Miss Ready.
Each release has helped establish the duo’s musical direction, bringing together introspective storytelling and a mature approach to the genre. Rather than chasing trends, Cool&Blak have leaned into music that speaks to listeners who appreciate substance, honest conversations and the culture that brought them together.
Jay Jody, known for his work as a rapper, songwriter, producer and filmmaker, brings his distinctive storytelling approach to the partnership. He first gained wider recognition through B3nchMarQ alongside his brother A-Reece before continuing to develop his artistic identity through solo releases, including the acclaimed album Shine O’Clock.
Blaklez, whose real name is Lesego Moiloa, adds years of experience as one of Pretoria’s established lyricists. The rapper has built a reputation for socially conscious writing and reflective music, with projects such as A Broken Man’s Dream, Baby Brother and Price of Peace contributing to his standing in South African hip-hop.
Together, the two artists have shaped Cool&Blak into a creative space that extends beyond their individual careers. Their partnership speaks to a generation of hip-hop listeners who value lyrical depth, authenticity and the sense of belonging that comes with sharing a love for the culture.
That spirit also carries into their Cool&Blak Sundays gatherings, which are scheduled to return on 1 November at Maracanà in Sandton, just two days after the album’s release. The event further reflects the duo’s emphasis on community and creating spaces where like-minded people can connect through music.
The title COME FIND YOUR TR!BE captures that philosophy, turning the album into an invitation for listeners to find their place within the community Cool&Blak are building. After 18 months of transforming personal experiences, blessings and lessons into music, Jay Jody and Blaklez are ready to share the results of their journey.
With the release date officially confirmed, anticipation now shifts towards the full body of work and what it will reveal about the duo’s artistic partnership. Their singles have already offered a taste of their chemistry, but the upcoming album will give listeners a broader picture of the sound, ideas and experiences that define Cool&Blak.
COME FIND YOUR TR!BE arrives on 30 October 2026, with Cool&Blak inviting hip-hop lovers to be part of a journey built on music, shared experiences and community.
