Edo Maajka unveils the official video for “Izdajničko kolo,” a powerful live collaboration with the Jazz Orchestra of Croatian Radiotelevision, recorded on October 2, 2024, at the Gorgona Hall of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb. The performance blends rap, jazz and rich orchestral textures into a dynamic and emotionally charged piece.
Music is credited to Mirsad Dalipi, Edin Osmić, Mario Rašić, Toni Starešinić and Yogi Lonich, while the lyrics are written by Edin Osmić himself. The arrangement by Bruna Matić expands the track into a full orchestral experience, elevated by standout solos from Elvis Penava (guitar), Marko Šolman (trumpet) and Janko Novoselić (drums), under the baton of Miron Hauser.

The video, produced by Dostava Zvuka, merges live concert footage with sketches, animation and illustrations by Oliver Linzbauer, creating a layered visual narrative that complements the song’s socially critical tone. Direction and production are signed by Hrvoje Baudoin and Marko Nemec.
For over two decades, Edo Maajka has remained one of the most influential voices in regional hip-hop, known for his sharp social commentary. “Izdajničko kolo” once again proves how his lyrical intensity gains new dimensions when paired with top-tier jazz musicians.
