Emerging from Cameroon’s vibrant music scene, Jiomantic and Freasy Boi are making waves with their debut EP “This is Heptic.” Discovered during Heptic Records’ talent hunt, these fresh voices are bringing something special – a rich fusion of Afrobeats, R&B, hip-hop, and highlife that feels both familiar and innovative.
The EP kicks off with “Chasing the Bag,” a dynamic opener that sets the tone for what’s to come. It’s a hustle anthem with an infectious energy that makes it impossible to sit still. The duo’s vocal chemistry shines through, riding the beat with effortless grace. “Money Na Water” switches gears, with Freasy Boi taking center stage for a solo performance that hits differently. It’s a thoughtful meditation on wealth and success, delivered with the kind of raw honesty that makes you stop and listen.
The project really finds its groove with “Oya Oya,” a celebration of African rhythm that practically demands movement. It’s the kind of track that turns strangers into dance partners, embodying the pure joy of communal celebration. Following up, “Tension” dives deep into relationship dynamics, while “Temptation” rounds out the EP with a raw look at human desire and struggle. The EP features eight standout tracks, each contributing to an overarching narrative that fuses themes of hustle, cultural pride, and relationships.
Behind the scenes, production heavyweights J Pats and Soft Touch Beats bring their A-game, crafting soundscapes that feel both modern and rooted in tradition. The beats provide the perfect foundation for Jiomantic and Freasy Boi’s vocal interplay, creating a sound that’s distinctly their own.
In eight tracks, these Cameroonian artists manage to paint a vivid picture of their world while keeping one foot firmly on the dance floor. They’ve created something that feels authentic to their roots while speaking to universal experiences, proving that great music knows no borders.
The EP is now available on all major streaming platforms, marking what promises to be just the beginning for these rising stars.
