It has literally been one year since recording artist, Blakk North and producer/artist, Gino Black released their very first collaboration, ESOTERIC MEN. Since its release, ESOTERIC MEN has been steadily gaining momentum among a global audience. It has amassed over 120,000 streams and is still receiving over 1,000 streams per day. With the independent success of their anthem, ESOTERIC MEN, Blakk North and Gino Black have adventurously managed to record and release 3 additional collaborations like, GAME CHANGERS, THE SET and most recently, STALL ME OUT. All of these songs are currently receiving significant plays on DSPs and radio platforms worldwide.
In celebration of the one year anniversary of what is considered the biggest and most successful record by both of these artists, they are releasing the follow to their smash hit song which is appropriately titled ESOTERIC MEN 2!
ESOTERIC MEN 2 is intended to be another anthem of encouragement for anyone who’s ever felt like they were counted out by others. They both deliver cleverly thought out lyrics with motivational messages written into the verses. Listeners will seek to understand the esoteric meanings and descriptions that are hidden in between the punchlines. Blakk North and Gino Black each trade verses over pulsating track with a fun chorus arrangement. Similar in nature to its predecessor, ESOTERIC MEN 2 is a feel good jam. It energizes you and motivates you to not only move your body, but also to think about your life and where you are in it. How far have you come? How hard have you fought for a better life for yourself? There is a feeling of pure good nature and fun, yet there’s also a sense of sincerity within the lyrics.

For Benicio, music is a way of bringing together the different worlds that have shaped him.
His new single ‘EVE’ does exactly that, blending the unmistakable sound of Ghanaian HipLife with Afroswing and contemporary UK rap. Joined by fellow collaborators COLLINZ and SLO, Benicio delivers an upbeat, romantic track built around a recognisable sample from Ghanaian HipLife legends VIP.
At its heart, ‘EVE’ is a celebration of attraction and admiration, but for Benicio, the track represents something much deeper: the meeting point between his British upbringing and Ghanaian heritage.
“It means everything to me because I feel like it’s where my two worlds intersect. I’m combining my interest in rap music with my Ghanaian heritage. It perfectly symbolises my upbringing in a way which feels authentic to me on all fronts.”
The track itself came together organically during a studio session with SLO. Benicio immediately began writing to the beat, initially treating the idea as a freestyle, before SLO reworked the structure into the finished record.
Longtime friend and collaborator COLLINZ was then brought in for an additional verse, with Teigr handling the mix. Adding an especially personal touch, Benicio’s girlfriend also contributed background vocals to the chorus.
The result is a fun, energetic and romantic introduction to Benicio’s next chapter.
That chapter follows his work with the RUDEWRLD collective, whose Dreams Worth Fighting For tape reached the Top 15 of Ghana’s All Album Charts and Top 5 of Ghana’s World Genre Chart. His music has also received playlist support from Spotify and Apple Music.
Now, with his forthcoming debut mixtape A Beautiful Day on the horizon, Benicio is stepping further into his own artistic identity.
‘EVE’ captures that intersection perfectly: infectious, personal and unapologetically rooted in who Benicio is.
