It’s pretty much impossible to find an up-and-coming artist with more co-signs than Jozzy. Though her solo catalog is not expansive, the Memphis R&B artist has worked with and rubbed elbows with some of the best musicians ever. In May 2022, she signed a record deal with Diddy’s Love Records. Since then, she has earned songwriting credits on some of the biggest album releases in music. These include “Virgo’s Groove” from Beyoncé’s latest LP RENAISSANCE, John Legend’s “On Time” from Metro Boomin’s Heroes & Villains, and “Low” from SZA’s S.O.S.
Before signing her deal, however, Jozzy still collaborated with many R&B, pop, and rap stars for huge hits. She has songwriting credits on Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” remix with Billy Ray Cyrus. Additionally, she helped out with Internet Money’s smash hit “Lemonade” including Don Toliver and Gunna. Also included on her resume are songwriting credits for Summer Walker, 21 Savage, Diplo, Fergie, Coldplay, Lil Durk and many more. Her name already carried a lot of weight before she even got her feet under her as a solo artist. This is likely why Diddy refers to her as the “R&B Biggie.”
Jozzy’s First Release In Years
On Feb. 21, Diddy and Love Records announced the impending release of Jozzy’s new EP. Songs for Women, Free Game for N****s, unlike most EPs, would include 10 songs. Ahead of its release, Diddy released a statement speaking about the significance of this moment for Jozzy. “Jozzy is a very special and dynamic talent that only comes around once in a generation, so I’m excited to see how her music sets a new standard for R&B,” he said. “Her skills as a writer and performer, matched with her style and energy, [have] the potential to make her one of the greats, and I’m proud to play a part in shaping the next chapter of her career.”
Songs for Women, Free Game for N****s was finally released later in the week on Feb. 24. Spanning 30 minutes, the project is Jozzy’s first release since 2020. Her prior EP Soul Therapy: PT 215 was much more of a traditional, lasting for 5 songs and 15 minutes. Additionally, she dropped her first single on digitial streaming platforms with “Sucka Free” featuring Lil Wayne in 2019. But, none of these moments compare to the magnitude of Songs for Women, Free Game for N****s. With Diddy behind her and her bolstered resume vouching for her, Jozzy is surely here to stay.
