Fresh off his successful and comically named Breaking the yoke of love crusade, Blaqbonez has dropped his first 2022 single, Commander, on streaming platforms.
Commander is mid-tempo with his spirited vocals and risqué lyrics. Here, he sings of a woman he meets at a club and takes home. He goes on to describe, in cheeky details exactly what the woman requires of him. The song goes on further in the same vein, maintaining its adult bawdy lyrics mingled with a semi-lively beat.
Blaqbonez, who is no stranger to steamy songs and some very naughty lyrics with hits like BBC, which means exactly what you think it means, has been a rising star on the Nigerian music scene and is signed to Chocolate City. Emeka the Stallion, as his fans know him, is quite the maverick with blazing a trail and creating an entirely new genre from the more traditional sounding hip hop people have come to expect from the Nigerian music scene, especially since he is signed to a record label owned by self-acclaimed Africa’s number one rapper, MI.
How does Commander measure up to the rest of Blaqbonez’s body of work?
It is amazing to see a musician grow and flourish and he does that with each single he releases. Commander is an improvement in his previous works. If you like a little bit of naughty fun, this one is for you.
