JustOne Sukay’s “GENIUS” Signals a New Chapter for The Rapitect

ABUJA, NIGERIA — A new chapter has begun for Nigerian rapper, singer and songwriter JustOne Sukay, following the release of his latest single, “GENIUS.”

The release brings together Sukay’s distinctive lyricism and Gruzzmahn’s production on an Afro/Drill record built around ambition, self-belief and personal identity.

“GENIUS” arrives as more than a new addition to Sukay’s catalogue. It serves as an introduction to the mindset driving the next phase of his artistry.

The song was born from a period of reflection, during which Sukay began translating his experiences, aspirations and hunger for greatness into music.

At the centre of the record is a simple idea: greatness often begins with believing in yourself before anyone else does.

That message is particularly relevant to Sukay’s journey as an independent artist. Known for his “lyrically conscious” approach, he has developed an identity around conceptual creativity and his ability to use words to communicate both personal and universal ideas.

The release also continues the story behind The Rapitect, a name inspired by the combination of his musical identity and professional background in architecture.

From football to architecture and music, Sukay has consistently drawn inspiration from different parts of his life. “GENIUS” brings those influences into a new phase of his artistic journey.

With more music and visuals reportedly in development, the release represents the beginning rather than the conclusion of Sukay’s current creative chapter.

LISTEN

For JustOne Sukay, “GENIUS” is an event in the evolution of an artist a moment where the blueprint becomes sound.

RHIA BELLO INVITES EVERYONE TO CELEBRATE, CONNECT AND “DRINK UP”

The vibrant new house record marks a bold new chapter of transformation, experimentation and musical freedom for the rising artist.

There are songs you listen to, and then there are songs you experience together.

With her new single, “Drink Up,” Rhia Bello delivers an unapologetic celebration of life, community and the joy of being surrounded by the people who make every moment worth remembering. Built on vibrant house rhythms and charged with the energy of parties, good vibes and jubilation, the record arrives as an invitation to let go, step into the moment and celebrate without holding back.

At its heart, “Drink Up” is about togetherness. It captures those moments when friends become family, family becomes part of the celebration and everyone around you share in the same energy. There is room for the bragging, the flexing, the laughter and the confidence that comes with knowing you are exactly where you are meant to be. Rhia Bello transforms that feeling into a vibrant musical experience, creating a space where everyone is welcome and the only requirement is to come with good energy.

More than a song about partying, “Drink Up” carries a deeper sense of belonging. It celebrates the freedom of enjoying life with your people and finding happiness in shared experiences. Whether it is a night out with friends, a family celebration or simply a moment of pure jubilation, the record speaks to anyone who understands the power of community and the beauty of living fully in the present.

That confidence is captured in the striking phrase, “E be last card, e be check up,” a line that reflects the calculated confidence at the heart of the record. Nothing happens by chance. Every move is intentional. It is a statement of self-assurance, bringing an extra layer of personality to a song already built around bold energy and celebration.

For Rhia Bello, “Drink Up” also represents something personal: transformation. The single finds the artist embracing new experiences, experimenting with her sound and allowing herself the freedom to explore a different side of her artistry. It is a confident step into new territory, one that reflects an artist unafraid of evolution.

The house-driven record balances musical freedom with a universal message. Its energy may belong on the dancefloor, but its feeling extends beyond it. “Drink Up” is for the people who show up for one another, for the friends who turn ordinary moments into memories and for anyone looking for a reason to celebrate.

With its bold spirit and sense of inclusiveness, the single does not simply ask listeners to hear the music. It invites them into the experience.

“Drink Up” is about happiness, belonging and enjoying the moment with the people around you,”  the song's message suggests. It is about coming together, celebrating your wins, embracing good energy and remembering that life is best experienced with community.

As Rhia Bello enters this new phase of experimentation and artistic discovery, “Drink Up” stands as a statement of intent. Bold, celebratory and unafraid to move differently, the record introduces listeners to an artist willing to explore, transform and create music that brings people closer.

With “Drink Up,” Rhia Bello is not just making music for the dancefloor.

She is creating a space for everyone to feel like they belong.
