Blaqbonez has built a career on turning verses into declarations, and his new single “Everlasting Taker” follows that tradition. Released under Chocolate City Music, the track doesn’t sound like a quick flex: it sounds like a rapper setting down a marker for the long run.

From the first line, you hear an artist intent on proving he’s not a flash in the pan. “I go dey here when the dust settle,” he raps, voice steady with the kind of defiance his fans know him for. Beyond the bravado, this line declares his permanence in the game.

The production, handled by Ragee, balances pounding drums with airy synth layers, creating a backdrop that keeps Blaqbonez squarely at the centre. Over it, he moves between sharp, unflinching rap lines and a hook that drills itself into your head: “everlasting taker.” Simple but memorable, the song keeps replaying in your head after the track finishes.

Lyrically, Blaqbonez walks a line between raw confidence and rare honesty. He brags about his rise and his place in the game, but he also hints at the years of being overlooked and doubted. That blend of toughness and truth is what gives the record its edge.

Fans haven’t missed the message. On X, reactions poured in almost immediately — one listener called it “a hustler’s anthem,” while another tagged it “the hardest Blaqbonez we’ve heard in a while.” Within days, the track was trending and climbing charts, proving the single has already struck a chord beyond his core audience.

More than just another release, Everlasting Taker feels like the opening shot of a bigger project. With his upcoming album No Excuses around the corner, this single reads like a mission statement: Blaqbonez isn’t here to compete for attention; he’s here to take his place and keep it.

“Everlasting Taker” shows Blaqbonez goes beyond temporary fame; he’s setting the stage for a lasting legacy.

Music lovers finally have their hands on Kokopee’s latest project, and it is already sparking conversations. On Friday, August 15, 2025, the singer and songwriter, born Ogaga Okokowa, released his new extended play “All I Need It’s Kokopee“, following a lively listening party in Lagos: fans, fellow artistes, and key figures from the music scene came together to experience it firsthand.

The EP carries seven tracks, with a total playtime of just over 17 minutes, yet it manages to pack in emotion, energy, and storytelling. Kokopee describes it as a reflection of his journey so far; one filled with tough beginnings, hard lessons, and an unshakable drive to keep moving forward. Each song flows into the next, giving listeners a sense of growth and progression while keeping its rhythm and bounce.

Speaking about the project, Kokopee explained that it is a personal blueprint: “These are the things that shaped me into who I am today. Every track shows a different side of my story; if you listen closely, you will find lessons you can relate to in your own life,” he said.

The EP also features some big names: Don Jazzy, Peruzzi, and Jeriq join Kokopee on the project, adding variety and depth to the sound. While some artistes carefully select a lead single, Kokopee is letting his fans decide which track stands out the most. “I want listeners to pick their own favorite; that is the beauty of music: it speaks differently to everyone,” he noted.

Beyond the excitement of the release, Kokopee also used the opportunity to speak openly about the challenges facing rising artistes, particularly the steep cost of music promotion. “The cost of promotion in Nigeria is almost as tough as the cost of living. That is why I advise young artistes to have something else they can rely on while they chase music. The truth is, it is expensive; but I keep pushing by God’s grace,” he shared.

With All I Need It’s Kokopee, the artiste is not just putting out new music: he is opening a window into his world, a mix of resilience, creativity, and ambition. Short in length but rich in substance, the EP feels like the beginning of a new chapter; one that might just define the next phase of his career.

Olamide’s Billionaires Club, featuring Wizkid and Darkoo, unfolds as a striking display of style and luxury, directed by TG Omori. It blends music, fashion, and power-play imagery into a single scene, delivering style in abundance, though it never deviates far from familiar territory.

The video begins with Olamide stepping out of a sprawling mansion, phone in hand, carrying himself with a calm confidence that immediately draws the viewer’s attention. It’s clear from the first moment that this video is as much about presence and influence as it is about music.

An aerial shot follows, showcasing a convoy of exotic cars moving in perfect formation. The sequence is deliberate and polished, letting the viewer appreciate the scale and shine of each vehicle. TG Omori gives the scene room to breathe, letting the visuals speak for themselves without rushing.

Inside a grand room, women stand like living sculptures while Olamide takes center stage, vibing effortlessly to the beat. The composition is precise, the movements intentional, and the overall effect is one of artful control and elegance.

Outdoors, a woman walks with two imposing dogs, making her presence felt without a word. The video then cuts to Wizkid on a rooftop balcony, casually making the phone call that connects back to Olamide’s opening scene. This subtle visual link helps tie the video together without forcing a narrative.

Midway, the trio is seen on a lush golf course. They swing clubs, laugh, and exchange playful glances. Later, they handle firearms, which are presented more as symbols of control than as weapons, reinforcing the video’s theme of power and status. The shift in tone is noticeable but fits within the overall display of luxury and authority.

The poolside scene arrives in broad daylight. Darkoo is seated by the pool, singing while beautiful women relax in the water around her. The bright lighting, sparkling reflections, and casual elegance give this sequence a vibrant, playful energy that contrasts with the controlled composure of the earlier scenes.

The video then transitions to the garden scene in what appears to be evening or nighttime. The dimmer lighting and intimate atmosphere create a serene, cinematic mood. The artists share quiet moments amid lush flowers, offering a calm and polished close that complements the daytime displays of opulence.

Billionaires Club is slickly produced, visually striking, and packed with moments that communicate wealth, confidence, and influence. While it doesn’t push the boundaries of creativity for the artists involved, it succeeds in creating a world viewers can admire and aspire to. TG Omori’s direction ensures each shot lands with impact, making the video a memorable showcase of style, presence, and carefully curated luxury.
