Okay Then

‘Okay Then’ is the first single from the forthcoming ‘3 More Nights In Amsterdam’ EP to coincide with the 5th anniversary vinyl release of Kenyan-New Zealand songwriter and rapper JessB’s breakthrough EP, ‘3 Nights In Amsterdam’ (2020).

Set within the neon-lit atmosphere of Amsterdam after dark, ‘Okay Then’ evokes the borderless slipstreams that connect hip-hop, dancehall and afrobeats, dressing her sweaty, nightlife stories in carefully constructed ragga and rap cadences. It’s a nocturnal soundtrack for things that happen after midnight in the club. “You ain’t gotta speak, cause your body talk enough. Meet you at the hip, come grip get it done.”

After being announced as a top-five finalist for the APRA 2025 Silver Scroll Award and a featured performer at the inaugural edition of the Afrosoul festival in Auckland, JessB is ready to reflect on a pivotal moment in her career.

“The Amsterdam music scene is this place where all these genres like hip-hop, dancehall and afrobeats exist in this pool of diasporic sound. That’s exactly what these beats MOW Music made are, which is exactly what I’d been looking for. There are so many different types of people living in one place, and the sound reflects that.” – JessB

Alongside ‘Boohoo’, ‘Don’t Stop’ featuring Roze Don, and ‘Bullseye’ (HalfQueen & Pasquinel Remix), ‘Okay Then’ is one of four previously unreleased tracks on the ‘3 More Nights In Amsterdam’ EP and is also available as part of the 3 Nights In Amsterdam’s 5th anniversary vinyl release.
