Nigerian rap heavyweight Blaqbonez has officially announced the release of his highly anticipated fourth studio album, No Excuses, set to arrive this Friday, October 17th. The project, which follows his 2023 offering Emeka Must Shine, marks a defining moment in his evolution as one of Africa’s most consistent and fearless voices in hip-hop and alternative sound culture. No Excuses stands as a bold declaration of Blaqbonez’s creative autonomy and resilience, weaving together his signature mix of lyrical wit, experimental production, and honest storytelling. The album’s tracklist — revealed via his social media — showcases a striking 17-song lineup that pairs introspective narratives with energetic, genre-blurring rhythms. The project features an impressive roster of collaborators, including AJ Tracey, Pa Salieu, Valiant, The Kazez, Fola, Melissa, Leostatyrill, Phyno, Young Jonn, Kindlynxsh, Brotherkupa, Wavestar, Bella Shmurda, Ayo Maff, Barry Jhay, Zinoleesky, and Olamide. The diverse mix of talents reflects Blaqbonez’s global ambition while staying rooted in his Nigerian creative DNA. Production credits span a who’s who of top-tier beatmakers such as Telz, Kofo Sound, Ramoni, Blaisebeatz, Jaes, Magicsticks, LilGeeBeatz, LindenJay, and BMH, among others — reinforcing the album’s promise of sonic depth and replay value. Speaking on the project’s theme, No Excuses encapsulates Blaqbonez’s drive to overcome limitations, challenge norms, and continue evolving despite pressure from expectations. It’s a reaffirmation of his journey from an underground rapper with a cult following to a household name pushing the boundaries of Nigerian hip-hop.

MiL3s Ethereal has officially released his new EP titled NSOW, short for No Signs of Weakness, and it is now streaming on all major platforms. The project is a bold declaration of resilience and creativity, distilling the artist’s journey through fear, doubt, and eventual triumph into three carefully constructed tracks. For MiL3s Ethereal, NSOW is more than just another release. It is the product of a period marked by anxiety and uncertainty over whether to continue making music at all. Instead of retreating, he chose to confront those questions head-on. The result is a project that does not simply celebrate strength but redefines it. In his own words, “I thought deeply about stopping, but I overcame every obstacle that tried to limit my creativity and uniqueness. That is why I titled the project No Signs of Weakness.” This personal backstory sets the emotional foundation of the EP and makes the listening experience feel authentic and intentional. The EP is compact but potent, containing three tracks that showcase different shades of MiL3s Ethereal’s artistry. It opens with OBIOJOR, a record that embodies determination and defiance, setting the tone for the entire project. The second track, YEWEH, pushes further into the sonic landscape that MiL3s has been shaping, balancing hard edges with introspective delivery. Closing the project is SPACE, a collaboration with BankzThaHustler, which expands the EP’s reach and introduces a new dimension of storytelling through chemistry and contrast. While 2024 did not see the release of an EP, MiL3s Ethereal stayed active with four standalone singles. Money Waker featuring Meverick, Fats3mi, Miracle Mercy, and WL (Sàrá yè) served as snapshots of his evolving sound. These tracks allowed him to stay connected while refining the larger vision that would become NSOW. They also demonstrated his consistency, proving he could balance experimentation with cohesion, an approach that carries into the new EP. A central part of MiL3s Ethereal’s creative evolution has been the discovery and mastery of his unique genre, which he calls Kwanidrill. This style, a fusion of drill’s energy with his own melodic and cultural imprint, first appeared prominently in his 2023 album Troubled, especially on the track Nsogbuadi. With NSOW, he doubles down on Kwanidrill. Both OBIOJOR and YEWEH stand as clear examples of the genre, offering listeners a direct introduction to his musical blueprint. This is not simply a stylistic choice but a defining element of his identity, a sound that carries his name and vision. Beyond its three tracks, NSOW is a statement of gratitude and determination. For MiL3s Ethereal, the project represents both survival and rebirth, a way of saying thank you to the community that has supported him while also affirming his belief in himself. It reflects the idea that weakness is not the absence of struggle but the refusal to push through it. With this EP, he shares music that is at once personal and relatable, inviting listeners into his process while laying the groundwork for his future direction. No Signs of Weakness is now live on all major streaming platforms.
