    BNXN has released his hugely anticipated debut album, Sincerely Benson which includes the singles Gwagwalada” “Pray” and “Sweet Tea (Aduke).

    2 Baba, Kizz Daniel, Seyi Vibez and PopCaan all feature on the project, which shot to the top of the albums chart on Apple Music Nigeria. While five songs from the album presently occupy the top posts on the top songs chart.

    The 26-year-old had earlier made it clear that the collaborations on the album were deliberate and essential to its theme and vision.

    “There are a couple of collaborations on the album, I wanted them to be really specific to the message I was passing across. Like I have Headie One on the project, that is Headie One’s best verse internationally. When it drops you can take it to the bank – they will give you 100k,” he told the Ghanaian outlet , My Joy Online.

    “Everybody that’s on this project came in with their A game, not even their A game, their A star game, I’m super excited about it.”

    As expected, there’ve been comparisons between BNXN’s album and that of his rival Ruger which dropped last month.

    Never one to miss an opportunity to take a swipe at his hottest rival, BNXN boasted about his collaboration with one of the OGs in the world of Afrobeats.

    “ And some might never get to song with 2Baba,” he tweeted.

    Me I’ve sha turned on Ruger’s notifications because I know he’ll surely respond.
