Jay Jody Marks a Year Since the Release of ‘SHINE O’CLOCK.’ While fans congregated at the lively TOOVIRAL show for an evening filled with rhythm and joy, rapper Jay Jody was subtly celebrating a significant personal achievement that brought him immense joy — the one-year anniversary of his highly regarded solo endeavor, SHINE O’CLOCK.

In an emotional update posted following the event, the rapper shared his thoughts on this special milestone, confessing that beneath the dynamic performances and dazzling lights, he was quietly celebrating the journey of SHINE O’CLOCK. This project represented a significant new phase in his artistic career.
“So much going on right now…” he started, later adding, “but on this day, the 26th of July at the TOOVIRAL show … I was internally celebrating 1 year of SHINE O’CLOCK ⚡️.”
The album, which debuted in July 2024, showcased a daring and reflective collection of tracks that firmly established Jay Jody’s identity as a solo performer, separate from his collaborations with B3nchMarQ and other partnerships. SHINE O’CLOCK received accolades for its polished production, deep storytelling, and genuine expression — features that have garnered Jody a devoted audience in South Africa’s hip-hop scene and beyond.
Taking a moment to express his appreciation, Jody thanked those who’ve supported him from the onset. “I’d like to thank The Cool Council, my Tr!be for holding me down since the 1st ever solo project I dropped,” he noted.
The TOOVIRAL event was more than simply another performance — it transformed into a meaningful platform for reflection, legacy, and appreciation. As Jody continues to traverse the intricacies of the music industry, this anniversary acts as a strong reminder of his perseverance and artistic journey.
