BlaqBonez Drops ‘Consistency’ Featuring AJ Tracey Ahead of No Excuses Album Release

Nigerian rapper BlaqBonez, born Emeka Akumefule, has released his latest single, “Consistency,” featuring UK rapper AJ Tracey, as anticipation builds for his upcoming fourth studio album, No Excuses.

The track, which dropped Thursday in Lagos, serves as the album’s opening record and sets the tone for a project centered on perseverance, discipline, and self-belief. Blending gritty hip-hop production with melodic UK rap influences, “Consistency” showcases both artists’ lyrical dexterity and chemistry.

The music video for the single, released simultaneously on YouTube, quickly garnered over 22,000 views within hours of its debut, drawing praise from fans for its clean visuals and sharp storytelling.

On X (formerly Twitter), fans applauded the collaboration’s energy and cross-continental synergy, with one user describing it as “BlaqBonez’s most polished international link-up yet.” Others, however, reported brief streaming delays on platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music.
