Rudeboy returns with new single ‘Billio$’

Nigerian music veteran Rudeboy, born Paul Okoye and one-half of the legendary duo P-Square, has dropped his latest single Billo$, via Fire Department Inc. The song, announced earlier this week, follows Rudeboy’s string of 2024 releases like Feelings and Winning. With a career spanning decades, from P-Square’s absolute dominance to his solo success with tracks like Reason With Me and Woman, Rudeboy continues to prove his staying power as a hitmaker.

Billo$ is a bold Afrobeats banger that exudes confidence and celebrates the high life, blending infectious rhythms with Rudeboy’s knack for crafting tunes that resonate with hustlers. The track opens with the catchy hook “Billo billios … billo billios…,” instantly grabbing listeners with its danceable beat and swagger-filled lyrics. References to “steady billy gating,” a playful nod to tech mogul Bill Gates, underscore the song’s theme of relentless wealth-building and success. The production, featuring vibrant percussion and a pulsating bassline, creates a feel-good vibe that’s perfect for the streets and clubs.

Produced by Lordsky, Rudeboy’s lyrical flair shines through, mixing street-savvy wordplay with aspirational themes, a balance he’s mastered since his P-Square days with hits like Bizzy Body (2005). The track’s energy aligns with his recent live performances, where he’s been spotted bursting speakers. While the official video is yet to drop, anticipation is high for visuals that promise luxury, style, and vibrant African aesthetics, consistent with Rudeboy’s track record. Available on all major streaming platforms, Billo$ is poised to dominate playlists, reinforcing Rudeboy’s legacy as one of Nigeria’s most consistent Afrobeats trailblazers.
