VIDEO: Jizzle – “Micro”
Gambian Afro-pop heavyweight Jizzle is back in the frame, and this time he’s going small on the title but big on the visuals. His new music video “Micro” — lensed by the ever-cinematic Ocean Legacy Cinematic — is officially out, and it’s a reminder of why the Banjul-born artist has been called “Gambia’s Man of the Moment” for the better part of a decade.
Born Jerreh Jallow, Jizzle has been steadily building a catalog that stretches across West Africa and beyond, weaving multiple local languages into his signature Afro-pop hybrid. Since dropping his debut project “The Next Big Thing” in 2018 — the same year he took home Wah Sah Halat Artist of the Year — he’s put out a run of well-received bodies of work, including “Finally” (2019), “Scorpi” (2020), “Scorpi Vol. 2” (2021), and his 2023 full-length “Me Vs Me.” He also picked up an All Africa Music Awards nomination for Best Artist back in 2016, which, for those keeping score at home, is not a bad résumé line.
“Micro” continues Jizzle’s habit of pairing melodic hooks with confident, understated swagger. The Ocean Legacy Cinematic treatment leans into moody framing and clean, high-contrast color work — the kind of visual polish that has quietly become a hallmark of the Gambian scene’s newer wave of releases. It’s a short, sharp watch that punches well above the “micro” of its name.
If you’ve been sleeping on Jizzle’s run of releases, this one is an easy on-ramp. Press play, turn it up, and see why he keeps landing on Afro-pop shortlists across the continent.
