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.
