Afrobeat sensation John Blaq is set to release his brand-new studio album on August 27 2025 – a powerful 15-track journey that chronicles the rise of an African boy from humble beginnings to becoming a true continental star.

Titled “African Boy”, the album captures John Blaq’s signature sound while fusing fresh sonic influences and heartfelt storytelling.

Through this deeply personal body of work, John Blaq paints a vivid narrative of struggle, hustle, and triumph – representing not just his own journey but the voice of countless dreamers across Africa.

The album features high-profile collaborations with some of the hottest names on the African music scene, including 1da Banton, Skales, Maro, Bomba, Laika, and Tg Bills.

Each track is a testament to the diverse rhythms of the continent, blending dancehall, Afro-fusion, and Ugandan urban vibes.

To celebrate the release, John Blaq will host an exclusive album listening party on the evening of August 27, at the stylish Villa venue in Kampala.

The event will be hosted by media personality Mr. Henrie, promising an unforgettable night of music, conversation, and connection with fans, media, and industry insiders.

This album is for every young African chasing their dream. It’s a reflection of where I come from and where I’m headed. I want it to inspire and resonate far beyond borders.
