Delax4g – 2000 Ft.CDQ

Nigerian street-pop act Delax4g teams up with indigenous rap veteran CDQ on “2000,” a new collaboration bringing both artists together.

The pairing gives the song an interesting Nigerian street-music feel. Delax4g handles his part with his street-inspired delivery, while CDQ brings the Yoruba rap style that has become familiar to his listeners. Both artists approach the record from different angles, giving the collaboration its character.

Nigerian street-pop artist Delax4g joins forces with CDQ on “2000,” a new collaboration bringing together two different generations of street music.

Delax4g has been building his name through independent releases and collaborations. His catalogue includes songs such as “Normal Level” featuring Seyi Vibez and “Omo Mummy” featuring Idowest. He now gets another opportunity to reach a wider audience with CDQ on this new record.

The interesting part of this collaboration is the contrast between both artists. Delax4g brings his street-pop delivery, while CDQ comes with the Yoruba rap style that has been part of his identity for years. CDQ does not need much introduction among Nigerian hip-hop listeners, having built his reputation through records such as “Indomie” with Olamide and Masterkraft.

“2000” runs for 2 minutes and 54 seconds. The production leans towards trap-inspired street music, with a rhythm that gives both rappers room to deliver their verses. CDQ’s appearance also brings a familiar Lagos street-rap flavour to the recording.

Interestingly, CDQ has publicly shown support for Delax4g, describing the younger artist as a newly discovered brother. The collaboration therefore goes beyond simply putting two names on one song. It also introduces Delax4g to listeners who have followed CDQ’s music over the years.

Delax4g has been teasing the collaboration through social media snippets before its release. Now, listeners can hear the complete recording and judge the chemistry between both artists.
