Chocolate City talent Blaqbonez kindly mocks Naija\u2019s hottest Afrobeats acts in the video for \u201cBack In Uni\u201d, a single from his upcoming album Young Preacher.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

26-year-old Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez<\/a> joined forces with one of Ghana\u2019s highest rated producers Jae5 for \u201cBack In Uni\u201d, a catchy single, with sweet melodies and lyrics about breaking hearts, getting girls and the failure of his enemies. But the real interest lies in the accompanying music video, directed by Blaqbonez himself and Perliks. Unrelated to the lyrics, the visuals are a humorous tribute to music videos and pop culture references currently trending in Nigeria. Here\u2019s a quick breakdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent months, it\u2019s been nearly impossible to miss Oxlade<\/a>\u2019s COLORS performance of his massive hit \u201cKu Lo Sa\u201d, and Blaqbonez gives us an accurate rendition of his viral moves. Pirate eye-patch and pink hair on, Blaqbonez also becomes Ruger<\/a> in \u201cGirlfriend\u201d. Obviously, Mr.Money <\/em>himself Asake did not escape: Blaqbonez is impressively convincing as the \u201cBandana\u201d singer, sporting silver grillz and giving all the facial expressions to the camera. And when it comes to Afrobeats princess Ayra Starr<\/a>, the rapper did not shy away: referencing a video snippet for her latest single \u201cRush\u201d, Blaqbonez is hilarious in a platinum blond wig. Blaqbonez also hints at African Giant Burna Boy<\/a>\u2019s recent \u201chigh-waisted\u201d Dazed <\/em>cover, Wizkid<\/a>\u2019s black-and-white art for \u201cBad To Me\u201d, and others including comedian Carter Efe and Internet sensation Portable.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cBack In Uni\u201d visuals are sure to create more anticipation around Blaqbonez\u2019 forthcoming album Young Preacher<\/em>. This 13-track project follows the successful Sex Over Love<\/em> project, and a joint mixtape with Naija rappers A-Q and M.I. Abaga<\/a>. The features have yet to be announced, but Young Preacher<\/em> is set to be a \u201crap, reggaeton and trap<\/em>\u201d infused project, releasing October 21st. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
