Nigerian music star Blaqbonez is back with a fresh release for his fans across the globe. Following the huge success of his previous hit Chanel featuring Asake, the creative artist has officially dropped his new single Big Performer alongside a new video. He also gave his supporters an extra song titled FYP to go with it.
Key Takeaways
- Blaqbonez has officially released his new single and music video titled Big Performer.
- The song is produced by P.Priime and features background vocals from Semzi.
- The new release marks a shift from his regular hardcore hip hop style to a larger persona.
Blaqbonez, whose real name is Akumefule Chukwuemeka George, is currently signed to Chocolate City Music. Over the years, he has built a strong reputation as a clever lyricist with sharp flow and funny wordplay. He first gained widespread attention in 2019 and was even recognized by The New York Times as one of the new music leaders in Nigeria.
A New Style and Sound
With this new track, the self-proclaimed Best Rapper in Africa makes a clear statement about his growth. Instead of sticking strictly to the hardcore hip hop style that listeners are used to, he brings out a larger persona. Music lovers who enjoy watching artists step out of their comfort zone, such as listeners of oh yeah? by Steve Lacy, will easily notice this bold change in direction.
The hard-hitting track was produced by popular music producer P.Priime, while Semzi provided the background vocals. Blaqbonez blends his cultural roots from his Igbo, Yoruba, and Urhobo upbringing with elements of Afropop, trap, hip hop, and electronic music to create a distinct track.
Fan Reactions and Social Media Hype
Since the official video came out, fans have taken to social media platforms to talk about the release. Many listeners are quoting their favorite lines from the song and posting them online. Some of the most popular lyrics causing a buzz among fans include funny references and character names.
“Oliver Twist, Oliver Khan, El Matador, Willy Wonka, Blackie Wonka, Umpa Lumpa”
The new video shows that Blaqbonez is ready to reach a bigger audience with his new sound. Just like intense hip-hop tracks like Gasoline Dreams by Outkast ft. Khujo Goodie, this track keeps the energy high from the beginning to the end. Fans can now watch the official music video and stream the song on all digital platforms.
