One of this generation’s most popular rising stars, Northern Irish rapper Jordan Adetunji<\/a> \u2013 whose versatile style seamlessly incorporates his Nigerian heritage, infusing his music with the vibrant rhythms and energy of Afrobeats \u2013 has already got collaborations with Lil Baby<\/a>, Bryson Tiller<\/a>\u00a0and Kehlani<\/a> under his belt. Not to mention a Best Melodic Rap Performance nomination at the 2025 Grammys<\/a>, which saw him share the spotlight Beyonc\u00e9<\/a> and The Weeknd<\/a>. Now he’s releasing his highly anticipated second album, A Jaguar\u2019s Dream,\u00a0<\/i>and it’s a sure-fire good’un.<\/p>\n

Born in Croydon, Adetunji relocated to Northern Ireland at the age of 10, and those former years spent in Belfast had a profound impact on shaping his sound. Immersed in the city\u2019s rich mix of music and cultures, he drew inspiration from a variety of influences. \u201cIt inspired me to think creatively from a young age and gave me a unique perspective on blending sounds and storytelling through music,\u201d he shared in an interview with 10.<\/p>\n

First gaining traction in 2023, Adetunji caught the attention of Oli Sykes<\/a>, frontman of the pop-metal band Bring Me the Horizon<\/a>.<\/i> Impressed by Adetunji\u2019s 2020 post-punk track Wokeup!<\/em>, Sykes scouted the rising star, leading to a deal with RCA Records<\/a> where he has since joined major record label, Warner Records UK.<\/a><\/p>\n

Adetunji rose to fame with his viral hit Kehlani<\/i><\/a>, which racked up 1.3 million TikTok posts featuring the sound and over 350 million streams on Spotify. Chartering in 37 countries, it cracked the\u00a0UK Top 10\u00a0where it stayed for over 10 weeks, even making it into the\u00a0Billboard Top 40. Riding high on his success with fast growing popularity, his collaboration with Lil Baby, Options<\/i>, has cemented his place in the ever-growing music industry. Options<\/i> marked a career-defining moment, and its accompanying music video elevated the track\u2019s success to new heights. Set on a luxurious yacht cruising through crystal-clear waters, the video exudes opulence and ambition.<\/p>\n

Working with Bryson Tiller<\/a> was another milestone, with Tiller not only collaborating on song, 305<\/i>, but also offering guidance and advice throughout the process. \u201cHe\u2019s such a talented artist, and collaborating with him was a major moment for me creatively,\u201d Adetunji shared, reflecting on the experience.<\/p>\n

Releasing the album this past Friday, Adetunji is already paving the way for success. Showcasing his genre-blending talent, the new album has generated palpable excitement amongst fans and is quickly solidifying his status as a true blue rising star.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
