What You Should Know About Blaqbonez’ Music Career
Blaqbonez was only 13 years old when he found that he could rap, and his route into music was the consequence of random chance.
His cousin and he were listening to the radio together when the song of a 12-year-old rapper came on. It was then that he realised he had a gift for rapping.
Because he enjoyed critiquing other rappers’ work so much, his cousin enjoyed the song and issued a challenge to Blaqbonez, asking him to write his own lyrics to the song. After a few minutes, he had written enough bars for a stanza, and that was the point where everything started.
Even though Blaqbonez’s parents disapproved of his newfound interest, he continued to pursue it in the shadows because it was his true calling. He released his debut project, titled Hip-Hop in Blaq, and took part in other competitions while he was still in school.
Blaqbonez has been battling it out in the underground rap scene since 2011. He competed against 3000 other rappers and was victorious, taking first place in Terry Tha Rapman’s Zombie Competition in 2012.
In 2012, he was featured on Terry’s mixtape “World Domination,” alongside other prominent Nigerian artists like Olamide, Vector, Mode 9, and Spellz. Blaqbonez included Terry on a project five years later.
After placing second in Vector’s King Kong competition, becoming RhythmFm’s Freestyle Fury winner and Artiste of the Month, leading the Hennessy Vs. class, and participating in the Soundcity Blast Cypher, Blaqbonez released his highly anticipated mixtape CTAT (Cssette Tapes and Tvs), which has already amassed over 60,000 engagements across streams and downloads.
At the first annual Creative-Africa Hip Hop Awards, Blaqbonez was honoured as West African Rapper of the Year. When the same publication tallied up the best African rappers of 2021, he came in at number two. Eseose Braimah is Blaqbonez’s number one admirer among his many adoring followers.
On August 31, 2018, Blaqbonez dropped his eighth extended play, titled Bad Boy Blaq. It is one of three albums that make up the L.A.M.B project, an initiative to revitalise hip hop in Nigeria. M.I. Abaga served as executive producer for Bad Boy Blaq, which was released on the Chocolate City subsidiary label 100 Crowns.
Mr. Boombastic, Blaqbonez’ ninth extended play, was released on October 25, 2019. Blaqbonez promoted the EP with a tune called “Jesus Is Black (Letter to Kanye West)” a day before it was released. His ninth studio album, Jesus Is King, was scheduled for release on the same day as Mr. Boombastic, so he used the letter to request that West delay the release of his record. Blaqbonez released a new song in 2020 called “Haba.”
Blaqbonez’ album Sex Over Love was released on April 30, 2021. Through his long-awaited album “Sex Over Love,” Blaqbonez is letting the world in on his honest portrayal of life. Songs like “Bling” by Amaarae and Buju, “BBC (Remix)” by Tiwa Savage, and “Haba” are among the 14 previously released tracks on the album. Tracks by Nasty C (“Heartbreaker”), Joeboy (“Fendi”), Bad Boy Timz and 1Da Banton (“Faaji”), Laycon (“Zombie”), Psycho YP (“AQ”), and Superboy Cheque (“Best Friend”), among others.
