After announcing himself on the main stage with his debut album, 2018’s “Bad Boy Blaq”, Chocolate City signee Blaqbonez is setting a marker for his year with the video for “Play” that features rapper, Ycee.

Blaqbonez Play Ycee

“Play” is the first single off “BadBoyBlaq: Re-Up”, a re-working of songs off his debut that is scheduled for release sometime this February.

Blaq embraces his more melodic side as he croons away through a house party replete with the familiar distractions.

The video, directed by The Myth, provides a colourful canvas that sits well with Blaqbonez’s foray into pop territory.

Ycee delivers in one of his trademark mazy runs, as he continues to make a case for a comeback of sorts on his self-owned ANBT label.
