Alté trailblazer BOJ has officially dropped his sixth studio album Duplicity a sonically rich, deeply introspective body of work that expands the boundaries of the Alté genre he helped pioneer. Across thirteen meticulously crafted tracks, BOJ moves seamlessly between Afropop, hip-hop, and experimental fusions, shaping a record that’s both forward-thinking and emotionally grounded.
Led by standout singles like the euphoric “Imposter Syndrome” featuring Obongjayar, and the kinetic “Cana” with Pa Salieu, Duplicity showcases BOJ’s unmatched ability to merge genres while maintaining his signature laidback swagger. Elsewhere, the dark, inventive “Italawa” with Odumodublvck and SGaWD pushes his sound into rawer, uncharted territory.
Featuring a powerhouse lineup including Olamide, Show Dem Camp, Joey B, Anaïs Cardot, and Mavo, the album feels like a celebration of connection and duality. As BOJ puts it, “Duplicity is my exploration of the two sides of me the version the world thinks it knows, and the one only the closest to me ever meet.”
From introspective moments to genre-blurring bangers, Duplicity is easily one of BOJ’s most complete projects yet a reminder of why he remains one of the most respected and innovative artists shaping African music today.
