“Everlasting Taker” Proves Blaqbonez Is Here for the Long Run

With “Everlasting Taker,” Blaqbonez sharpens his case as one of Africa’s most inventive voices. The Nigerian rapper and Afrobeats star positions the track as a statement of longevity—he’s not a fleeting presence but an artist intent on carving out a permanent place.

Built on a confident blend of sharp rap flows and Afrobeats bounce, “Everlasting Taker” embodies resilience and audacity. It flips the giver/taker dynamic into a mantra of ambition, urging listeners to seize opportunities rather than wait for them. The production feels slick yet unrelenting, giving his verses the space to land with authority.

Blaqbonez has always thrived on self-belief, but here it feels more refined: less boastful for its own sake, more like a mission statement. As he readies his forthcoming album No Excuses, due in September, “Everlasting Taker” makes it clear he’s not chasing trends—he’s setting the terms for his own longevity.
