BNXN joins forces with Seyi Vibez for “Set Up”
Nigerian music heavyweights Bnxn and Seyi Vibez join forces on the compelling single “Set Up,” a standout track from Bnxn’s sophomore album, CAPTAIN.
“Set Up” is a powerful fusion of Afro-fusion elegance and streetwise grit, creating a soundscape that balances polished melody with raw, emotional storytelling. Bnxn brings his signature smooth, soulful delivery—effortlessly switching between English and Yoruba—while Seyi Vibez anchors the track with his gritty cadence and heartfelt street lyricism.
The song explores themes of trust, betrayal, and survival, with both artists engaging in a lyrical back-and-forth that feels intensely personal yet widely relatable. Their vocal interplay paints a vivid narrative of navigating loyalty and deception in love, life, and the streets.
Behind the boards, renowned producer Larrylanes crafts an atmospheric instrumental layered with moody textures, delicate chords, and percussive elements that mirror the emotional depth of the lyrics. The production elevates “Set Up” into a cinematic experience—one that resonates beyond the surface.
“Set Up” is one of the highlights on Bnxn’s 16-track album CAPTAIN, which features collaborations with Rema, Victony, FOLA, and the Soweto Gospel Choir. The project is a testament to Bnxn’s evolution as an artist and his ability to bridge worlds—whether it’s blending genres or uniting diverse voices like Seyi Vibez’s.
Preceded by the singles “Very Soon,” “Cutesy,” “Phenomena,” and “Fi Kan We Kan” featuring Rema, CAPTAIN continues to solidify Bnxn’s place as a key figure in the global Afrobeat movement—pushing sonic boundaries while staying rooted in authenticity.
