Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez has unveiled the official tracklist for his forthcoming studio album, “No Excuses,” a 17-track project that’s already shaping up to be one of the year’s most anticipated Afrobeats and hip-hop releases.

The album announcement, accompanied by striking cover art, underscores Blaqbonez’s ambition to create a project with both local depth and global appeal. Featuring an impressive 15 guest artists and a diverse lineup of producers, No Excuses is set to merge UK rap energy with West African rhythms, delivering a sound that’s bold, experimental, and boundary-breaking.
Among the standout collaborations, UK rap star AJ Tracey joins Blaqbonez on Consistency, while Pa Salieu brings his unique flair to Aura 4 Aura. Nigerian rap legends Olamide and Phyno also lend their star power on Despacito and W For Wetego, respectively.
The guest list continues with appearances from Bella Shmurda, Ayo Maff, Barry Jhay, Zinoleesky, Valiant, The Kazez, Melissa, Leostaytrill, Kindlynxsh, Brotherkupa, and Wave$tart, an impressive blend of voices that reflect Blaqbonez’s collaborative spirit.

Behind the scenes, the production lineup is equally stellar, featuring Jae5, Telz, Kofo Sound, Black Culture, Blaisebeatz, Magicsticks, Ramoni, ILON, DJ808, and BMH names known for crafting some of the continent’s biggest hits.
From introspective cuts like Everlasting Taker to the confident and triumphant Star Life II, No Excuses promises a showcase of Blaqbonez’s growth, versatility, and global vision.
Blending witty lyricism, relatable storytelling, and genre-fluid soundscapes, the project follows his acclaimed albums Sex Over Love and Young Preacher, which solidified him as one of Africa’s most innovative rap voices.
As fans eagerly count down to Friday’s release, excitement continues to build for what could be Blaqbonez’s most defining moment yet, a project that not only celebrates his evolution but also reaffirms his position among Africa’s most dynamic and forward-thinking artists.
