(YUNG LAZARUS)

That time is FINALLY HERE! Even though it’s still January, this is still one of the most anticipated drops of 2026. A pairing of legendary proportions coming together for a record that is undoubtedly going to be a MODERN CLASSIC. Let’s go!

This is the brand-new tape between MC Nyeusi Loe and Producer BONEWESO, and together they drop a solid 12-track album with the likes of 

-HYROGLYPHX

-CODENINE

-ESTEE NACK

-???

-OP. SHIZ

-ERG ONE

And with this list of heavy hitters, we have the final roster for this one-of-a-kind project that has the potency of an ounce of weed and 10x as powerful!

When we discuss the production of BONE, we talk of a man who came through with legendary status and has only gotten stronger. Every album he’s ever produced has been critically acclaimed, and after being able to talk to him in person, I can say with absolute certainty that no other man works the way he does. HE’S THE REAL DEAL!

Across this tape, we see him back on his theatrical/cinematic vibe. He’s trying to create a score so grand and atmospheric that it makes you sit back in your chair and contemplate life. This is the kind of soundtrack that will force you to change your act up and better yourself, the type of sounds that bring out the best of people and make them get off their asses and go accomplish their dreams! 

When I was listening to these songs, I felt like I was levitating. I felt surreal goosebumps running through my body as every new track acted as an amplifier to the sonic high this album injects you with! 

I felt my imagination expanding, my soul enriched, and my appreciation for Bone increase tenfold! If you thought he was classy before, then you ain’t heard NOTHING YET! This album might very well

be his production magnum opus yet, it’s that good! 

Every track feels like a fluent wave, part of the same ocean. As dope as each track is individually, they work best when listened to in album format, as each track that came before and after helps each other in maintaining the richness of the overall record! This is the definition of the perfect score, the kind of album I know I’ll be cycling for the next few months at least!

 When we discuss Nyeusi, we talk about a man who has drafted one of the most underrated discographies in the game right now! I’m ashamed to admit I only uncovered the full extent of his past records the other day! All the producers he worked with have a pure volume that is insane. 

It’s no surprise why he’s talked about in such high regard by the best going, and this album only increases his worth as a top-tier artist! 

On this album, we hear him unleash his most powerful antics and mesmerising and infectious charisma as he bodies these beats and showcases his lethal lyricism, his vivid wordplay, and impressive pen game that has helped him stand on top of the culture for the past few years!

What impressed me was his confidence and ability. With him, there’s no second-guessing or worry; he knows he’s the man, and he transfers that energy to the mic and, in turn, to the ears and hearts of the audience.

It’s like when you listen to a motivational speaker who you know is authentic. You can always hear the difference between real and fake, and the same applies here.

He’s the real deal; he speaks his truth. He utilises his impressive vocabulary to create detailed stories and situations that he bases on his real life. His brash lines come from his well-earned confidence in himself, and that’s why his bars sound so impressive and immersive!

Not to mention his technique gifts on the mic, the way he can execute bars and devastating verses that are filled with clever puns, one-liners, and personal touches that make you feel like you’re there yourself!

Also we need to talk his chemistry with the names provided above. I don’t have to tell you that trying to rap alongside with those MC’s ain’t easy. They don’t hold back for anyone and yet he sounds as smooth and chill as ever! He’s in his element when alongside competition who can help push him further than he is and that’s why he can stand toe to toe with the greats! 

Overall, this is another impressive showing by Nyeusi and another masterclass by Bone! A pairing that I already knew would be incredible before I heard a single track and of course I was right! Do yourself a favour, click on the link, go support the artists and listen to the greatness for yourself!
