BOJ has always moved like someone who knows exactly who he is: calm, confident, and forever lounging at the intersection of Alté cool and Afrobeats finesse.
And on December 5, 2025, he returned with Duplicity, his sixth studio album, a project that instantly set the Alté community humming with excitement.
The best way to describe Duplicity is to imagine BOJ standing in front of two mirrors, one reflecting his smooth lover-boy charm and the other capturing the rebellious, rockstar edge he rarely shows.
Instead of picking one version of himself, he decided to make an album where both versions coexist.
The result is a project that feels like a midnight confession—honest, stylish, and layered, yet delivered with the effortless detachment that has always made BOJ who he is.
Before the album’s release, he teased fans with two singles that hinted at this dual nature. First came “Contraband,” featuring Olamide, a collaboration that fused street grit with BOJ’s laid-back luxury. Olamide came through with a verse that hit like a quick jab, sharp enough to wake up any sleepy speaker.
Then he dropped “Diamonds” with Mavo, a floating, almost futuristic record where both artists glide over the beat like they’re weightless. Those two songs became the anchors of the album, opposite energies, perfectly balanced.

Production-wise, Duplicity sounds like BOJ walked into a dimly lit studio and told Genio and Blaise Beats, “Let’s make something warm, something rich, something that belongs to nobody else.”
The album trades the typical Afrobeats bounce for muted horns, jazzy chords, and a bassline that rolls rather than jumps. When you listen to a track like “After Hours” featuring Anais Cardot, you can practically picture velvet seats, dim neon lights, and the soft clink of glasses in a room that only opens after midnight. And through it all sits BOJ’s unmistakable voice — that honey-and-gravel tone mixed forward, letting every hum and ad-lib simmer.
Of course, no BOJ project feels complete without his people. On “Shana,” he reunites with Show Dem Camp and taps Ghanaian star Joey B, creating a record that feels like an Alté homecoming.
The chemistry between BOJ and SDC has been built over the years at this point; they don’t even sound like collaborators; they sound like brothers finishing each other’s thoughts. Joey B adds a new flavor, stretching the Alté spirit across borders.

In the end, Duplicity feels like BOJ making a quiet but confident statement: he’s not chasing whatever sound is trending this week. He’s curating a world and inviting you to step inside a world where the music is smooth, the vibes are intentional, and the contradictions are the beauty.
It’s the kind of album that feels elite without trying too hard, cool without being cold, niche but welcoming.
With Duplicity, BOJ reminds everyone that two truths can exist side by side and that sometimes, the most interesting artists are the ones who embrace both halves of themselves.
