Emeka Akumefule, known as Blaqbonez was the guest on Nancy Isime’s Trending show which airs on HipTV. On the daily entertainment show, he speaks about his career path and the kind of music he makes.

When asked what his music entails, the rapper and singer answered: “I pride myself in being versatile, every time I come out [with a new song], I try to make sure it’s different from the last thing.” Blaqbonez says while citing Drake as his biggest inspiration in the music industry worldwide.

Nancy Isime went further to ask Blaqbonez what his thoughts are about being labelled the “touch bearer of rap in Nigeria” to which he gave the reply: “I honestly I’m not trying to get boxed in, so anytime there’s any rap conversations, I don’t care about that. . . I’m versatile.” Blaqbonez goes further to say the era of championing himself as the “Best Rapper in Africa” or BRIA (for short) is over, that he only went with the vibe because of the response he got from saying those words in one of his songs and since people cared much about what he had to say, he used the BRIA tag to his advantage, taking his music to the mainstream forefront; even testifying to the fact that many rappers call themselves ‘the best’ on their songs but no one really pays attention.

You can catch up with the interview where Blaqbonez said this and more here:

Falz and first choice producer, Sess join heads once again to make a club banger, Mercy being the title, a song about girls made for the girls.

With such lyrics: “She dey kill me with the shake / She got jiggle for days”, “That mini skirt that you’re wearing / Is making your body very commandeering”, Falz clearly shows he is a big bunda guy, one who is fully mesmerized by the behind of gorgeous ladies.

Although being minimalist on the track, Falz captures the hearts of listeners by his deep voiced vocals while giving Sess bouncy beat gets enough breathing space so as to fill up the room with party ‘turnt up’ vibes.

You should listen to Mercy:

Yes, Skepta did say he was retiring from rap but one thing he cleared was the fact he had about 5 or 6 songs he wanted to put out there before it’s all said and done musically and that he is fulfilling by releasing a new EP which title is unknown as of now.
