Mpura died in a car accident that claimed six lives including fellow musician Killer Kau and upcoming artists Khanya “The Voice” Hadebe, DJ Thando Tot and TD.
Fans have commended JazziQ for keeping Mpura’s memory alive and not forgetting his contribution to his life.
In a previous Instagram Live, the Woza hitmaker spoke of how deep his relationship with Mpura was and described him as his "brother".
“With you I didn't lose a friend or an acquaintance but someone who became a brother. I'm still saying it hurts. I miss you," the DJ said.
Mr JazziQ is not the only artist who has recently paid tribute to Mpura after his passing.
Amapiano vocalist Sir Trill in January revealed that he would be giving his royalties from his debut album to Mpura's family and team.
“Every song on my project with @MPURAPUDI all royalties go to his team and family,” the singer posted on Twitter.
