Ajani Jones & Kweku Collins Create Magic on “High Tolerance”

"High Tolerance" just dropped, and honestly? It’s the kind of track that sneaks up on you. This latest collaboration brings together Ajani Jones—a hip-hop and neo-soul talent straight from Chicago’s South Side—with Kweku Collins, the multi-faceted producer, singer-songwriter, and rapper who calls Evanston, Illinois home.

These two don’t just work together; they create something electric. The track stands out on Jones’ fresh EP, The Loop, and there’s a reason for that.

That chorus though—delivered with this chipmunk-style pitch that shouldn’t work but absolutely does. It’s weirdly catchy, the kind of hook that embeds itself in your brain and refuses to leave.

The production keeps things clean and minimal. No unnecessary flourishes or over-the-top elements here—just space for those verses and that addictive hook to breathe.

Lyrically, "High Tolerance" dives into nostalgia territory, excavating memories from a romance that’s clearly left its mark. The blend of alt-hip-hop with pop textures creates this intimate atmosphere that feels almost voyeuristic—like you’re eavesdropping on someone’s private thoughts.

Here’s the thing: this track is a sleeper hit waiting to happen. Miss it, and you’re literally missing 1 minute and 59 seconds of pure, sway-worthy magic. Trust me on this one—you’ll want to say you heard it first.
