Two of Nigeria’s most formidable rap talents, A-Q and Blaqbonez, have joined lyrical forces, and clashed pens, in a fiery new single titled Who’s Really Rapping.
Released as the lead track off A-Q’s upcoming album God’s Engineering 3 (GE3), the song has already set the rap scene ablaze with heated debates and bar-for-bar breakdowns.
Produced by Jxses, the track strips hip-hop down to its essentials: hard-hitting bars, precision flows, and a pulsating beat that allows both emcees to flex their lyrical muscle. A-Q kicks things off with cold-blooded delivery and densely packed rhymes, firing off multisyllabic verses with the calculated focus of a veteran.
Blaqbonez wastes no time matching the energy, firing back with his signature wit, inventive punchlines, and rhythmically agile flows, cementing his place as one of the most unpredictable forces in the game.
The track plays out like a lyrical duel, with both rappers pushing each other to the edge in a celebration of raw skill.

This collaboration bridges two rap ideologies: A-Q’s deliberate, battle-hardened lyricism, as seen in his 2020 Headies-winning God’s Engineering, and Blaqbonez’s genre-fluid swagger, popularized through chart-toppers like Back in Uni and his 2022 album Young Preacher. Together, they strike a dynamic balance that has fans questioning: who’s really rapping?
Social media has erupted since the single dropped, with fans trading lines, rating verses, and praising the chemistry between the Chocolate City poster boy and the ever-evolving Surulere-born wordsmith, A-Q. The single’s arrival also serves as a signal that GE3 will be anything but subtle—a return to the roots of rap with modern finesse.
Now streaming across all major platforms, Who’s Really Rapping doesn’t just preview A-Q’s forthcoming project—it reignites Nigeria’s rap conversation with fiery intensity and uncompromising lyrical grit.
