International artist YK has released “JOTA” (جوطة), a pulsating new single that transforms the Arabic/Sudanese slang for disorder into an infectious amapiano anthem. The track represents YK’s boldest artistic evolution yet, blending Afrobeat, Amapiano, and unmistakable Sudanese flair into a sound that resonates with both the Sudanese diaspora and global club scenes.

Born in New York, raised in Oxford, and rooted in Sudan, YK brings a truly global perspective to his music that has earned him over 1 million Spotify streams and performances for large crowds across the UK and internationally. “JOTA” marks his exciting venture into amapiano while maintaining the genre-blending approach that has defined his career.

“JOTA” takes its name and inspiration from Arabic/Sudanese slang meaning disorder or chaos, but YK transforms this concept into something celebratory and empowering. The track pulses with raw energy, infectious bounce, and unapologetic attitude, creating a sonic experience that turns cultural upheaval into rhythmic triumph.

This transformation from chaos to rhythm speaks to the broader Sudanese experience, particularly for diaspora communities navigating between cultures and identities. YK’s ability to channel this complexity into pure dancefloor energy demonstrates his sophisticated understanding of both musical craft and cultural expression.

With “JOTA,” YK continues this evolution by embracing amapiano’s distinctive sound while infusing it with his own Sudanese heritage. The result is a track that feels both authentically rooted and globally accessible, appealing to Sudanese youth, the broader diaspora, and international club audiences simultaneously.

“JOTA” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
