Rapper drops new album 'Son of John' (History Untold)

Rapper A-Q has released his anticipated album, 'Son of John 2' (History Untold).

A-Q has been prominent in the Hip-hop scene for a long time, but his recent activities has been nothing short of amazing.

From the first sequel of ‘Son Of John (Grace And Glory)’ to his ode to Tiwa Savage, to his ‘International Rapper’ response to the Local rappers song to the smash hit commercial single with Jaywon ‘Fojujo’.

Now A-Q is back on the radar with a full length album also titled ‘Son Of John (History Untold)’. It would be A-Q’s second album under a year.

The album has a weird marketing strategy behind it. It would be available only digitally and sold for just N50. This strategy of marketing music would be the first of its kind and most have said it’s too cheap for a whole body of work comprising14 tracks.

‘Son Of John (History Untold)’is a Hip-hop album made contrary to the way Hip-hop albums are made in these parts. It opens with the voice of Legendary DJ Jimmy JATT proclaiming A-Q as the world’s greatest.

The album does not stray from its theme, it is very conceptual, every song on the album has a totally different feel and no message on each track was the same.

From storytelling which opens up the album on ‘Pre-election day’, to the intelligent concept on ‘Politricks’, to the free flow of punchlines and metaphors on ‘Porn’, to the breath taking message on ‘Free thinker’.

Everything seems in order on this album, from production to mixing and mastering, A-Q’s longtime producer, Beats By Jayy has finally tied the knot with his artist’s sound. Other producers on the project, Bionic, Bemshima, Sleek Amos also stepped up.

Features on the album include DJ Jimmy JATT and incredible performances from upcoming acts and the future of Nigerian Hip-hop.

This is definitely much more than the giveaway price it is going for. Buy album on MTN’s Music+:Buy album on iTunes:Buy album on Spinlet:
