Benin City takes a place of pride for its role as a cultural hotspot. Beyond being the country’s fourth largest city, it has also incubated a generation of artists staking their claims for mainstream dominance- Rema, Shallipopi, Baby Boy AV and new entrant, BLAQ 02.
Building on the success of his debut single 10 Bottles in August, BLAQ O2 aims to build on the momentum, with his sophomore single Burst an infectious Afrobeats/Amapiano fusion sung in Pidgin. The new single looks to stamp a new catchphrase into the fabric of Afrobeats’ burgeoning pop culture with the statement, “water don burst” littered around the song. BLAQ O2’s musical odyssey was ignited within the sanctified halls of the church choir during his formative years. Music swiftly evolved into his refuge, offering solace and becoming the canvas upon which he paints poignant life lessons, explores the nuances of financial pursuits, and delves into the intricate tapestry of relationships.
