Rwandan hip-hop artist Abn X brings back Papa Cyangwe for “Nahejo Pt. 2,” a sequel produced by Hervis Beatz that picks up where the original “Nahejo” left off. The two already built chemistry on the first record, so returning to the same collaboration made natural sense.
Abn X has been building his catalogue steadily with records like “Cash App” featuring Young Chrii and “Ubuzima Nzicuza” featuring Deejay Unoo, carving out a lane in Rwanda’s growing urban hip-hop scene. Papa Cyangwe brings his own weight to the record — he has featured on tracks with Riderman, Juno Kizigenza, and Kivumbi King, making him one of the more in-demand voices in Kigali’s rap circle.
Hervis Beatz handles production, crafting a beat that stays consistent with the sonic identity the duo established on the first “Nahejo.” The instrumental leans into a smooth, melodic hip-hop framework with clean drums and enough warmth to let both artists breathe comfortably over it. Nothing here tries to reinvent the wheel.
Abn X leads with his usual composed delivery, building verses in Kinyarwanda-inflected bars that carry genuine narrative weight. He doesn’t rush through lines or fill space unnecessarily. Every word feels placed rather than thrown.
Papa Cyangwe steps in and holds his end of the record without overshadowing the lead. His verse adds momentum and gives the sequel a different emotional texture from the original, keeping “Nahejo Pt. 2” from feeling like a simple copy of what came before.
As a sequel, the record earns its place alongside the original rather than just capitalising on its name. Stream both parts back to back for the full picture of what Abn X and Papa Cyangwe built together.
