How 'Teleport' Took AJIZZ Across the Border
The story behind AJIZZ's first cross-continental collaboration with Nigerian singer M-Kaze — and what it signals for South Sudanese music.
When AJIZZ first sent the demo of 'Teleport' to Lagos, no one at VictoryLab expected the response we got back from M-Kaze's camp within 48 hours: "We're in."
What followed was a six-week production sprint across two time zones — vocal sessions in Juba, mixing in Lagos, and a music video shot guerrilla-style in both cities. The result is a record that doesn't ask for permission to belong on Afrobeats playlists; it just shows up.
For us at VLMG, 'Teleport' is more than a single. It's proof of a thesis we've been building since day one: South Sudanese artists don't need to wait for the industry to come to Juba. We're going to it — on our own terms, with our own sound.
