He hails from Imo State but grew up exposed to the cultures of the Yoruba and Urhobo tribes. Unlike most musicians that had always developed an interest in music at a young age, Blaqbonez did not, instead, he was fond of criticizing rappers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His interest in music was ignited by happenstance after his cousin challenged him to produce rap lyrics after they had listened to a 12-year-old rap on the radio. In a few minutes, young Blaqbonez, just a teen at that time, wrote his first song as dared by his cousin. And that is how Blaqbonez&#8217;s interest in rap music was ignited, but his parents did not support his new-found hobby so he secretly pursued his passion until he got into the university.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>Age of Blaqbonez<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blaqbonez will turn 27 years on January 29, 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>Music Career of Blaqbonez<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While studying Computer Engineering at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Blaqbonez pursued his passion for rap music with intense vigour. He participated in numerous competitions such as underground rap battles. One such competition is the Terry Tha Rapman&#8217;s Zombie Competition in 2012 in which Blaqbonez emerged as the winner, coming tops out of the 3000 rappers that participated. Winning the competition earned Blaqbonez a spot on Terry Apala&#8217;s mixtape titled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">World Domination<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He released his first mixtape, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hip Hop in Blaq, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">while still a student at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU).
