The Benue music scene has always been full of talent, and over the years we’ve watched different stars rise and set the tone for what people vibe to. Back in the day, names like JJ Debusta (BoiBusta) and Too Prince were everywhere, dropping hits that had the streets on lock. They were the “old takers,” the guys who carried the sound and gave Benue its first real stamp on the entertainment map.
Fast forward to today, and things have taken a fresh turn. A new crop of talent is now running the show, with Kiza Blaqboy and Mr. Laazis making serious waves. Their sound feels modern, more experimental, and perfectly in tune with what younger listeners want right now. They aren’t just following in the footsteps of the old guard — they’re carving out their own path and taking Benue music into a new era.
Now the debate among fans is simple but hot: Old takers vs New takers – who really runs Benue music? Some say JJ Debusta and Too Prince gave us more originality, while others believe Kiza Blaqboy and Mr. Laazis are raising the bar even higher. Either way, one thing is clear — Benue music is alive, growing, and more competitive than ever before.
