Nigeria’s rap maestro Blaqbonez is back, and this time he means business. The ever-evolving rapper, singer, and self-proclaimed “Best Rapper in Africa” has officially announced his upcoming album “No Excuses”, which is set for release on October 17. Known for his bold personality, sharp lyricism, and undeniable flair for creativity, Blaqbonez is ready to deliver another masterpiece that will shake up the Nigerian hip hop and Afrofusion scene.
A Trailblazer Who Keeps Reinventing Himself
Over the years, Blaqbonez has cemented himself as one of the most dynamic figures in African music. From his early rap battles and viral freestyles to chart-topping hits like “Back in Uni”, “Haba”, and “Like Ice Spice”, he has consistently showcased his ability to merge wit, honesty, and authenticity in his music. Every project he releases feels like a new chapter, and “No Excuses” looks set to continue that creative evolution, like he said on a tweet he made…
LOCKED TF IN! #NOEXCUSES
The Meaning Behind “No Excuses”
The title alone tells a story. “No Excuses” feels like a declaration of intent. It represents confidence, accountability, and a renewed sense of focus. For an artist who has never shied away from expressing his truth, this project could mark a defining moment in Blaqbonez’s journey, one where he fully embraces his identity as both a rapper and a pop innovator.
Expectations
Fans are already buzzing with excitement and curiosity about what direction Blaqbonez will take this time. Will he explore the melodic Afrofusion side that he showcased on “Young Preacher”, or will he bring back the fiery rap energy that defined “Sex Over Love”? Knowing Blaqbonez, it will likely be a perfect blend of both worlds. He has mastered the balance between introspection and rhythm, crafting songs that move the body and stimulate the mind.
Possible Collaborations and Sounds
Blaqbonez has built a reputation for creating powerful collaborations, often bridging genres and sounds in exciting ways. Whether “No Excuses” features high-profile guest appearances or remains a deeply personal project, one thing is certain — the production, creativity, and storytelling will be top-tier. His knack for turning each release into a cultural moment sets him apart as one of Nigeria’s most forward-thinking artists.
A Statement of uniqueness
In an industry that often rewards similarity, Blaqbonez thrives on being different. He is witty, unapologetic, and relentlessly experimental. From his visuals to his performances, he constantly pushes boundaries and challenges the norm. With “No Excuses”, he appears ready to elevate that creative confidence even higher and solidify his position as one of Nigeria’s most original voices.
The album release period appears to be quite intentional, and I would say “trademark”, as Blaqbonez’ has notably dropped more than 80% of his previous projects in the month of October. OCTOBER 25, 2019 — Mr. Boombastic 💿 OCTOBER 28, 2022 — Young Preacher 💿 OCTOBER 27, 2023 — Emeka Must Shine 💿 OCTOBER 16, 2024 — Of Many Colors: Orange 💿 OCTOBER 17, 2025 — No Excuses 💿🔜
As the countdown begins, anticipation continues to build. Social media is already buzzing, fans are revisiting his old projects, and the streets are eagerly waiting for what promises to be another defining moment in his career.
Mark your calendars. The time for talk is over. The time for the music has arrived. On October 17th, Blaqbonez leaves No Excuses.
