Released on February 28, 2026, “Rice and Beans” delivers a raw and honest narrative about the challenges of chasing success in a competitive industry. Drawing from personal experiences, BLS_BROKELESS sheds light on issues such as bias, disappointment, and betrayal, even among close associates.
Speaking on the inspiration behind the song, the artiste shared:
“Rice and Beans came from my real experiences working in Lagos. I’ve worked with many producers and noticed a lot of competition and bias—some people care about your tribe, religion, or if you’re ‘their own’ before giving you their best. I’ve been disappointed, even by friends. Sometimes they take your money and don’t deliver the quality you expect. That reality pushed me to create this song.”
With a blend of Afrobeats and Dancehall elements, the track captures both street vibes and everyday hustle, making it highly relatable to listeners navigating life and ambition. The song carries a strong message about staying smart, focused, and resilient in the face of challenges.
The single was produced by Kulboy and mixed & mastered by Ultrasound, delivering a polished sound that highlights BLS_BROKELESS’ unique style and storytelling ability.
Released under Bless Brokeless Records, “Rice and Beans” further establishes the artiste as a voice for the streets and a rising act to watch in Nigeria’s music industry.
