Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, known as Blaqbonez, recently discussed his music journey and impressive discography.
He mentioned that he might not be the top artist in Nigeria, he has consistently put out a lot of music throughout the years.
Blaqbonez said that his large number of songs comes from his routine of putting out new tracks every week over the years.
He pointed out that this method was key in growing his career and making a name for himself as a rapper.
Blaqbonez also talked about his journey in rap competitions in Nigeria, where he began competing and winning since 2011.
He pointed out that his commitment and effort to music have played a big role in his success, even if others don’t always see it.
He said:
“I used to drop music every week.
I have more music than every artiste that exists in Nigeria. I tell you for a fact.
“I’m not the most successful artist. I’m not bragging, but I’ve dropped more music. That’s how I build everything I built. Some people want to judge me based on what you can see, but the sh*t that you could not see, I was winning rap competitions all over Nigeria from 2011.”
