CDQ is back with a bang, dropping his first solo single of 2024, “One Night.” This track is a bold departure for the Nigerian indigenous rap icon, known for his signature Yoruba flows. In “One Night,” CDQ delivers his verses entirely in English for the first time, signaling a fresh chapter in his career.

Featuring South African rising star Serenita, the song blends Afrobeats, contemporary R&B, and hip-hop, creating a lush, romantic vibe that contrasts CDQ’s typical street-centric themes. The song is built on a foundation of acoustic guitars, catchy drum patterns, and well-timed trumpet bursts, all tied together with a hook that’s bound to stick in your head long after the music stops. Serenita’s soulful vocals add depth, crafting a story of fleeting love and desire.

“One Night” not only buttresses CDQ’s versatility but also highlights his global ambitions as he continues to push the boundaries of his artistry. With its polished production and unforgettable chorus, “One Night” is set to dominate airwaves and playlists, proving that CDQ remains a force to be reckoned with in the evolving Afrobeats scene.
