Sam Turpin/Cold Chinese Food Brew Bold Flavor with “Ethiopian Coffee”

258

Johannesburg’s underground pulses to life with “Ethiopian Coffee,” a jazzy, genre-defying rap track that introduces Cold Chinese Food’s upcoming full-length project. At the forefront is Sam Turpin, who delivers his introspective verses with an offbeat confidence that turns everyday anxiety into cosmopolitan poetry.

The production is rich and layered—Muhammad Dawjee’s saxophone riffs weave soul into the beat, while RĀMS’s ethereal chorus lifts the track into spiritual terrain. The soundscape crescendos into an irresistible drum break, grounding the song’s jazz-hop sensibility with danceable urgency.

The self-produced visuals (also directed by Turpin) are a cinematic dive into memory and material culture, blending archive and performance footage into a narrative that feels as nostalgic as it is forward-thinking. It’s more than a music video—it’s an ode to survival, beauty, and the mundane miracles of urban life.

“Ethiopian Coffee” isn’t just a teaser—it’s a sip of what’s to come, an invitation to tune in, reflect, and move. Cold Chinese Food is on the rise, and they’re bringing the heat with them.
