BOUQUI (pronounced Bukky) is a christian rapper, but I gotta tell you, her music is just outstanding. Totally and completely, whether it be dance music, or more introspective rap, she has all the bases covered. Her message is deep, her hook is sweet. What can I say? I love BOUQUI.
More about her:
The album titled B.O.U.Q.U.I was her debut and the album can be referred to as a two in one package due to the fact that it contains a record breaking fourteen tracks and four skits, the highest by any debutant in the Nigerian music industry. Still on breaking records, her lead single “Get it started” in less than a month debuted at number one the backyard beats segment of the PJ Butter hosted World Chart Show,also another first by any home– based Nigerian artiste in the history of Nigerian music. Other tracks like “Not Ashamed”, “Major Problem”, “Molejo”, “Vanity” and “Wanna Lone U” have become household anthems. The album has won several accolades and nominations including the much
covetted AMEN awards in 2007 for best female act.

The lead single for her self-titled first album Molejo:
She released her second album titled Redefinition earlier this year. The lead single is Morile (love that song!!)
Good stuff no?
And there is a lot of stuff featured on the albums that I would argue are even better than the singles. You may especially want to check out Take you away and Love you forever both on the redefinition album. And on the older self titled album, Vanity and Major problem are pretty good. Some hot stuff I tell ya!
How can you find her stuff? Both albums are available for download on Amazon.
First album BOUQUI here
Second album Redefinition is available here

I am no fan of hiphop too but I think by and large her songs are deeply substantive and lyrically exquisite... thanks for sharing...
