Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez has announced his forthcoming album, NOMADINHO: 4TH PRIME, while continuing its rollout with the release of his latest single, \u201cIKEBE 3000\u201d featuring Asake.<\/p>\n
The new album is scheduled to arrive in October 2026, marking another chapter in Blaqbonez\u2019s increasingly busy year. The rapper announced the project on social media, keeping with his October release pattern.<\/p>\n
Blaqbonez has already revealed that the project will feature Victony and TML Vibez, adding two prominent names from Nigeria\u2019s current Afrobeats scene to the album. A complete tracklist and official release date are yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
The album announcement comes alongside \u201cIKEBE 3000,\u201d his latest collaboration with Asake. The record marks their second collaboration of 2026, following \u201cChanel,\u201d which appeared earlier in Blaqbonez\u2019s run of releases. Apple Music lists \u201cChanel\u201d among Blaqbonez\u2019s 2026 singles, while the new \u201cIKEBE 3000\u201d arrives as part of the rollout for NOMADINHO: 4TH PRIME.<\/p>\n
\u201cIKEBE 3000\u201d gives Blaqbonez another opportunity to blend his rap background with a more Afrobeats-driven sound, while Asake brings his distinctive vocal style to the collaboration.<\/p>\n
The new record follows Blaqbonez\u2019s strong run with \u201cBIG PERFORMER,\u201d which reached No. 3 on Nigeria\u2019s Official Top 100 earlier in September. TurnTable Charts reported that the song recorded 1.75 million on-demand streams in Nigeria during its second week on the chart.<\/p>\n
Blaqbonez has remained particularly active throughout 2026, releasing songs including \u201cBIG PERFORMER,\u201d \u201cI Knoww II\u201d and \u201cHUSTLE KPA $$$,\u201d while also appearing on collaborative records with artists including Victony, BNXN, FOLA and YKB.<\/p>\n
With NOMADINHO: 4TH PRIME now officially on the way, Blaqbonez is setting up another major release while extending his run of collaborations with some of Nigeria\u2019s biggest contemporary artists.<\/p>\n
