Blaqbonez drops NOMADINHO: 4TH PRIME, a 15-track album with Asake and Igwe Aka

Six months after the deluxe edition of No Excuses, the Chocolate City rapper is back with a full-length project.

Blaqbonez isn’t one for long breaks. The Lagos rapper has released NOMADINHO: 4TH PRIME, a 15-track album that lands just six months after the deluxe edition of his 2025 album No Excuses.

The project folds in “Chanel”, the earlier single with Asake, and brings in Igwe Aka on “I LOVE THIS”.

Why it matters

Blaqbonez has spent the last few years as one of Nigerian rap’s most reliable hitmakers, moving between hard-edged bars and the melodic, Afrobeats-leaning records that travel furthest on streaming. Pairing with Asake, one of the biggest voices in the scene, signals exactly which audience this album is chasing.

Putting out a full album this soon after a deluxe is also a statement in itself. In a streaming market that rewards volume, Blaqbonez is betting that consistency beats waiting for the perfect moment.
