Dragon INC. taps Chocolate City’s Candy Bleakz for “No Panic,” a street-pop record produced by NYRP. The pairing makes immediate sense.
Candy Bleakz, born Blessing Mariam Akiode, has built her whole identity around staying solid under pressure. She calls herself the Lady Dragon, so putting her on a track literally titled “No Panic” is a clever bit of alignment. It fits her brand without forcing it.
She has been holding her own in Nigerian street-pop for years now. She broke out in 2019 with “Owo Osu” alongside Naira Marley and Zlatan, then kept pushing through projects like her *Fire* EP and the *Better Days* album. She has also traded verses with Simi, Bella Shmurda, and Blaqbonez. That history gives her the authority to sing about composure. She is not just talking about it. She has lived it in an industry that rarely makes it easy for women in her lane.
NYRP’s production does exactly what it needs to. The beat sounds settled and grounded, matching the song’s message rather than fighting it. When the theme is about refusing to crack when life turns up the heat, the last thing you need is a frantic arrangement. The record leans into that steady energy from the first bar.
