After months of suspense, strategic delays, and a viral runway debut that had both the music and fashion worlds buzzing, Blaqbonez has finally unleashed his fourth studio album, No Excuses —a 16-track manifesto that cements his position as one of Africa’s boldest and most innovative rap voices.

Originally set for August 22, 2025, the Chocolate City rapper postponed the release, choosing perfection over pressure. In his words:

“I didn’t finish it on time, that’s the truth. Since I want to put out the best album ever, I’ve refused to cut any corners.”

That statement now feels prophetic because No Excuses isn’t just another rap album. It’s a panoramic body of work that captures Blaqbonez at his most daring, defiant, and deliberate.

Across its 16 tracks, No Excuses stretches from Lagos to London and beyond, blending UK rap intensity, Afrobeats bounce, and Amapiano groove into something both familiar and futuristic.

The collaborations are elite, as AJ Tracey brings slick swagger to Consistency, Pa Salieu adds grit to AURA 4 AURA, and Nigerian heavyweights Olamide and Phyno contribute to NATI and W for Wetego, bridging generations of African rap royalty.

There’s also an impressive lineup of next-gen stars and regional sounds from Bella Shmurda, Zinoleesky, and Barry Jhay to Valiant, The Kazez, Melissa, Leostaytrill, Kindlynxsh, Brotherkupa, and Wave$tart, reflecting Blaqbonez’s rare ability to unite diverse voices without losing his own.

The project opens with “Everlasting Taker,” a self-affirming banger that sets the tone for everything that follows. “Last real n**a, I might be am / Them know the theory but me I dey practice am*,” he spits confidently, clearly, and committedly.

Then there’s the club-ready “Bizzy Body,” the smooth and sunny “Despacito,” and “NATI,” where Olamide matches him bar for bar over amapiano-infused production. The tempo shifts seamlessly into “AURA 4 AURA,” a gritty, off-kilter rhythm that showcases Blaq’s sonic fearlessness.

Midway through, the energy dips into reflective territory with “Good Time,” “Mary Mary,” “California Issues,” and “Just Hustlin $$$,” before ramping back up with “Go Crazy” and “W for Wetego,” both already fan favorites.

Produced by a star-studded team including Jae5, Telz, and other global hitmakers, No Excuses thrives on diversity. Each song feels distinct yet cohesive, a seamless balance between the rapper’s humor, hunger, and humanity.

Lyrically, this album is Blaqbonez at his sharpest. He confronts industry politics, self-doubt, fame’s double edge, and the loneliness of ambition, but he never loses his wit or confidence. The closing track, “Stack$$$$,” distils it best as he raps, “People only care if you win, no excuses.”

It’s a powerful full-circle moment, reinforcing the ethos behind the entire record: resilience, accountability, and artistic freedom.

No Excuses follows Sex Over Love (2021) and Young Preacher (2022), two projects that built his reputation as an irreverent, genre-fluid disruptor. But here, the Stallion sheds irony for intention. He’s not just poking fun at the system anymore; he’s redefining it.

Songs like “Star Life II” showcase growth, while “Prayers Up” (featuring South Africa’s Kindlynxsh and Brotherkupa) proves Blaqbonez’s commitment to connecting Africa’s next generation of rap talent.

With No Excuses, Blaqbonez has crafted his most complete statement yet, musically rich, lyrically sharp, and emotionally grounded. It’s an album that celebrates success without hiding the scars that came before it, one that asserts his identity as not just a rapper but a visionary artist.

In an era where trends fade faster than they form, No Excuses feels built to last, bold, fearless, and unbothered.

Blaqbonez didn’t just drop an album. He dropped a challenge to himself, to his peers, and to the culture.

No excuses. No compromises. Just legacy in motion.

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.

British rapper, Dave has made an urgent appeal to Nigerian musician Rema regarding their collaboration track.

Dave hinted at the existence of multiple collaborations between them after posting this via Instagram story alongside a clip of his performance of Location at Rema’s Brixton Academy show.

The rapper said; “Wow, @heisrema, can we release the song(s) soon?”

This request comes on the heels of Rema bringing Dave out to perform during day one of his headline show at the 02 Brixton Academy in London.

The rapper had thrilled the crowd with a rendition of the BOJ-featured “Lazarus” and “Location“, leaving even Rema emotional after his exit.

Interestingly, the two acts are natives of Edo State, with Rema making reference to that before bringing him on stage.

So far, Rema has worked with various international rappers like with British rapper, Skepta and producer, JAE5, as well as rapper AJ Tracey on “FYN” and fans, are now hoping the collab with Dave.

‘Calm Down‘ was released as one of the lead singles from Rema’s debut album ‘Raves & Roses‘ on February 11th, 2022. The song would later gain widespread recognition.

The music video emphasises the song’s success, as it hit 100 million streams only three months after its release.

Mp3bullet.ng presents Top Naija Songs released in March 2022.

The Nigerian music industry had another interesting month in March 2022. There are various Nigerian artists’ comeback songs and albums, as well as unexpected collaborations and top-tier international features.

Mp3bullet.ng look at the top ten Naija songs of March 2022.

RELATED:

• 10 Evergreen Nigerian songs turning 15 in 2022
• Top Naija Songs for the month of February 2022

Finesse- Pheelz, Buju

What started as a Tik-Tok snippet, has become a full-blown song that has people in a chokehold. Finesse is more than just a song; it’s an anthem, thanks to Pheelz and BNXN.

When Pheelz and Buju dropped the snippet on social media, it immediately caught people’s attention and the two were immediately pressured by fans to put out the full song which they did in March. Not too long, the song made a major milestone on Shazam.

Sungba remix- Asake, Burna Boy

Asake is one of the artists who is finally finding a major break this year. After dominating airwaves earlier in the year with “Omo Ope” featuring Olamide, he released an EP, “Olololade Asake“. Aside from “Omo Ope“, another song that caught attention was “Sungba“.

“Sungba” is a remarkable song that has a listener mesmerized even from the intro. In the later part of March, Olamide revealed that Asake would be featuring Burna Boy on the remix and when he shared a snippet of the music video, people couldn’t hold back their excitement.

From the beat to Burna’s verse and then Burna’s sophisticated Legwork/Moonwalk dance, what’s there not to love about Sungba’s remix?

Playboy- Fireboy DML

As fans anticipate his 3rd studio album which he promises to drop before summer, Fireboy dropped his first single of the year, “Playboy“.

In his Usual loverboy/F*ckboy persona, Fireboy shows off his Yoruba demand alter ego in “Playboy“.

No Wahala remix- 1Da Banton ft Kizz Daniel, Tiwa Savage

Last year, “No Wahala” became a Tiktok hit overnight leading to 1Da Banton who was known as a producer before then to finally gained prominence in the music scene as an artist.

This year, he decides to switch up things a bit by featuring two talented vocalists, Kizz Daniel and Tiwa Savage on the remix, and that was a very smart decision.

The vibey mid-tempo track produced by Blaisebeatz encourages a fun life despite life’s difficulties.

• ‘Kukere’, ‘First of All’, other Nigerian Songs turning 10 in 2022

Want You- Oxlade

Despite the fact that 2022 started on the wrong foot for him, Oxlade didn’t allow it to affect the quality of his music. While his S*xtapes might still haunt him, his debut for the year, “Want Me” shifted the focus back to his talent for a while.

Commander- Blaqbonez

Still on his “Sex Over Love” agenda, Blaqbonez dropped “Commander” as his first offering for the year. While he still not ready to give in to the concept called ‘Love’, he makes a good lover between the sheets as evident by the lyrics on the song.

No Pressure- Timaya

Papa Chulo refuses to be under pressure, no matter the angle it comes from.

After wrapping up 2021 in grand style with the hit song Cold Outside (featuring Buju BNXN), Timaya kick starts 2022 in a “No Pressure” mood.

The Afrobeat and Soca music reminds fans to ease their minds from their daily pressure and B.P (Blood Pressure).

Time and Attention- Rema, Chris Brown

“Time and Attention” is off his debut album, Rave & Roses. The track serves as the 6th track on the album that houses 16 tracks.

Time N Affection is a departure from Rema’s usual indie sound.

The musician swears to devote all of his time, attention, and pension to his lady, as well as to never abandon her. What more could a lady possibly desire? Chris Brown’s unstoppable vocals gave the song a chance to be a hit.

Attention- Omah Lay ft Justin Bieber

Afrobeat has finally reached a point where no International artist is off the table when it comes to collaboration with Nigerian Artists.

When Wizkid featured Justin Bieber on his remix of “Essence“, it wasn’t going to be too long for another Nigerian ARtist to feature Bieber on a song.

In February, pictures of Omah Lay and Justin Beiber on a video set surfaced on the internet sending fans into a frenzy. In early March, Omah Lay finally dropped the collaboration titled ‘Attention“.

The R’n’B/Pop song is different from the usual Omah sound and given what the singer tweeted weeks back, it’s something fans should get used to.

FYN- Rema ft AJ Tracey

After dropping the electric “Calm Down” in February, Rema blessed fans with “FYN” featuring British rapper, AJ Tracey. The FYN stands for Fresh Young Nigga.

In this song, we see the egoistic version of Rema’s personality come to full play backed up with bars from AJ Tracey.

Nigerian singer and songwriter Divine Ikubor, professionally known as Rema, has discussed his experience collaborating with foreign artists and made it known he travels with his mobile studio.

The singer reveals this in an interview on Apple Music’s Africa Now Radio with LootLove.

Recall, Rema has officially been released his first studio album titled  ‘Rave & Roses’ on the 25th of March 2022.

During his interview on Apple Music’s Africa Now Radio with LootLove, Rema spoke about how he goes everywhere with a mobile studio.

He said:

“I am just a guy that is always stuck in the studio. I don’t really have much to do if I am not out there performing. If I am not outperforming or with family, I would be in the studio.

“I have studio equipment in my car boot everywhere I go. I (always) drive with a studio. If I am travelling, I would have a speaker, laptop and microphone in my bag.

Sometimes, I could be out and might not get home. I could also feel like staying at my friend’s place, or just go to the studio, hotel or wherever I find myself. I always have my equipment in my car.”

Speaking about his experience collaborating with foreign artists, he said,

“I am really grateful that these artistes blessed me with their vocals, and they actually all enjoyed being on my record. I would not do anything that is forced. They actually did enjoy the record. They actually kept playing it for their friends. We are all excited about the record and that’s how it is supposed to be.”

The singer who is from Edo State also asserted that he has been ‘blessed with the gift of sound’. He said,

“I feel like my sound is destined to unlock territories. I have been blessed with the gift of sound, and it is very easy for me (to do). When I walk into the studio, I am pretty sure I would leave with a banger (hit).

That is why the first word I say before I ‘attack’ a beat is ‘another banger’. I don’t even care however the song goes, I just say it and go for it.

“I did not beg to be here. I feel like I’m supposed to be here and I am meant to cause the shift of sound and to evolve the afrobeat movement in a way. I am just playing my role; I’m not overthinking it. I am just going with the flow and everything is happening organically. I am grateful for that.

Mavin Records hitmaker, Rema has finally released his long-awaited sophomore album titled, ‘Rave & Roses‘.

Rema has been a key player in propelling Afropop into a genre-fluid, visionary age that has resulted in a dynamic mix of music that incorporates inspirations such as trap’s hyper-frenzy, reggaetón’s melodic undertone, and the immersive sounders of Bollywood scores.

All of these inspirations come to a head on the singer’s debut album, Rave & Roses, a 16-song collection on which he deftly details love, addiction, and fate.

“Just the recording process had different reasons that carried me to the studio, moments that just came out of the blue, but with the same goal. I didn’t have a solid written plan, so I literally approached this album with no fear or pressure”,he explains.

Rema vocalizes his belief in predestination and analyses societal dynamics with contributions from an eclectic cast that includes American singer 6LACK, British rapper AJ Tracey, and French vocalist Yseult, all without compromising the amorous impulse that drives most of Rave & Roses.
