Takeaway: In 1998, the Chicago Bulls completed a second three-peat, led by Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Phil Jackson. It was also the end of an era, as the Bulls management, wanted Jackson to resign. Bemused by the decision, Jordan played the final season of actual career, and retired for a second time, while etching his name as the greatest basketball player of all-time.
On it the song Chicago Bulls, Nigerian rappers MI Abaga, Loose Kaynon and A-Q reunited for a boastful track that references that ‘90s Bulls dynasty which won six NBA championship titles.
Drawing parallels with one of the all-time sports success stories, all three rappers take to a Beats By Jayy production, which is reminiscent of the early ‘00s Dipset era, slinging self-reverential bars while underpinning their hubris with a sense of brotherhood.
Loose Kaynon who is the owner of the project has taken the long road to reach this zenith. An Edo State indigene bred in Kaduna State, he came to Lagos as a teenager in the early 2000s. Since he released his impressive debut album on Abaga’s Chocolate City, he has co-founded 100 Crowns with his friend and partner-in-crime, AQ and they have launched the now successful career of Blaqbonez.
