Chocolate City artistes M.I Abaga, Blaqbonez and Loose Kaynon and affiliate A-Q who have come together on numerous occasions, always featuring one another on songs and projects, have finally decided to set matters right, coming together on the joint album, BEHOLD THE LAMB, a Hip-Hop/Rap project.

LAMB is an acronym for Loose Kaynon, A-Q, M.I Abaga and Blaqbonez using the initialism method; all four rappers have appeared on three cyphers namely: Martel Cypher 2019, Martel Cypher 2 (2020) and LAMB Cypher 3.0 – The Last Cypher (2021, which also coincides as the last track on BEHOLD THE LAMB).

BEHOLD THE LAMB is a collaborative album by Chocolate City and Cordless in partnership with Boomplay, hence it made its debut on the streaming platform a day before the general availability on all DSPs on July 6. Asides from the four amazingly talented rappers who co-own the project, Chike (Snapchat vs Facebook), PsychoYP (Famous Sh*T), Ko-jo Cue (Receipts), Bien & Khaligraph Jones (Plus 254) all feature on the album.

The majority of the production was handled by late beat maker BeatsByJayy and the album—BEHOLD THE LAMB—consists of 10 tracks enough to satisfy the hunger of Hip-Hop lovers in Nigeria and abroad as they have been discussions in the country about the seemingly fading state of rap in Nigeria but with A-Q, Loose Kaynon and M.I Abaga delivering bars-on-bars over flows-on-flows aided by Blaqbonez’s versatility in singing and rapping and the topics touched on, it is safe to say rap is very much still in vogue in the country.

Drill is very much still alive in 2022! AfroSelecta-BBK, Odumodublvck and CMG are at the forefront, making sure to keep the fire burning with the release of the sequel to their 2020 joint-EP. This new project is titled: T a D E : The Afro Drill Experiment II.

T a D E II embodies 6 songs containing the UK Drill production. Odumodublvck and CMG keep the audience engaged with notorious flows, rhythms and subject matters aided by ANTIWORLD GANGSTERS (YIMU) and PHAEMOUS (GRACE).

T a D E II concludes with the sound warning heard on CHEFFING, a Refix of the original found on its prequel featuring the same artiste, EESKAY. The EP is executively produced by AfroSelecta-BBK.

R&B and Pop sensational act, Fireboy DML, was the solo guest artiste at UK’s superstar Ed Sheeran’s Wembley Stadium concert where they performed the smash-hit Peru in front of a shutdown crowd who came to witness greatness. After the performance, Fireboy had a special announcement for the 90,000 in attendance that had to do with his next album.

A stellar live performance comes with its perks and that Fireboy DML showed after singing and dancing to his tune and thanking the well-pleased audience for a good time. “He’s got something he wants to say”, Ed Sheeran nicely interjected Fireboy DML’s Vote of Thanks speech, “I’ve got my album coming out in August, ‘Playboy’”, Fireboy revealed as he walked off the stage.

Fireboy teased this on the original Peru version when he said “I’m not joking / My third album is loading”. The first single off the album also happens to be titled Playboy which has grown to become a global hit record, one which Fireboy DML has performed on the most prestige stages and even centres around the world.

Come August, fans of Fireboy are to expect nothing but fine-quality music from him as he delivers Playboy to our ears. No date has been announced yet but we expect such in the coming weeks.
