Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez has released his fifth studio album, NOMADINHO: 4TH PRIME, a 15-track project featuring Asake, Victony, Ruger, TML Vibez, Igwe Aka and Monochrome.
The album arrived on Friday, October 16, 2026, through Chocolate City Music, marking Blaqbonez’s latest release following his 2025 album No Excuses and its deluxe edition, which dropped in April 2026.
The new project brings together Nigerian hip-hop and Afrobeats influences, with collaborations spanning established stars and other voices in the country’s music scene.
Asake collaborations lead the album rollout
Among the album’s key tracks are “BIG PERFORMER,” “IKEBE 3000” and “CHANEL,” all previously released as singles.
“CHANEL,” featuring Asake, stands out as a major milestone in Blaqbonez’s career. The collaboration earned the rapper his first No. 1 position on the Official Nigeria Top 100, according to the supplied report.
The track also strengthened the musical partnership between Blaqbonez and Asake, who collaborate again on “IKEBE 3000.” The pair’s connection has continued to attract attention, including their appearance together during Asake’s sold-out concert at London’s O2 Arena on October 15.
Inside the 15-track project
NOMADINHO: 4TH PRIME opens with “I LOVE THIS,” featuring Igwe Aka, before moving into “CA$H EVERYDAY,” “BIG PERFORMER” and “MAZZA.”
The album’s other collaborations include “YAHOOZE,” featuring Victony; “FYP,” featuring Monochrome; “JUSTINA,” featuring Ruger; and “FINESSE YOU,” featuring TML Vibez.
The range of featured artists gives the project several collaborative entry points while keeping Blaqbonez at the centre of the album.

The release follows No Excuses, Blaqbonez’s 2025 project, and its April 2026 deluxe edition. With his fifth studio album, the rapper continues to work across Nigerian hip-hop and Afrobeats, drawing on collaborations with artists whose styles reach different audiences.
The album’s arrival also comes after the chart success of “CHANEL,” giving the new project an important recent career milestone behind it.
Whether listeners gravitate toward the Asake collaborations or the tracks featuring Victony, Ruger and TML Vibez, NOMADINHO: 4TH PRIME presents Blaqbonez’s latest statement as he continues to develop his place in Nigeria’s evolving music scene.
