After building anticipation, Bims has officially released his first EP of the year, ‘Don Pablo,’ marking a significant moment in his evolving artistry. The project arrives after a strong 2024 run, where he delivered standout records like Amapiano, its Zlatan-assisted remix, Make Una Dance featuring Sir Shina Peters, and the Unorthodox EP—each of which cemented his presence in the Afrobeats landscape.

With ‘Don Pablo,’ Bims expands his sonic palette, seamlessly blending African rhythms with hip-hop and dancehall influences. The project, produced entirely by Energyboiy, reflects his growth, creativity, and personal journey, offering listeners a mix of infectious beats, introspective storytelling, and high-energy moments.

A Journey Through ‘Don Pablo’

The EP delivers a range of emotions and experiences, with each track serving as a chapter in Bims’ story:

“What I Can Do” sets the tone with themes of self-assurance and survival, balancing resilience with social commentary on Lagos life. “When I’m High” captures the carefree euphoria of a night out, emphasizing the need to protect one’s vibe. “Illegal” paints a vivid picture of an unforgettable connection in a club, filled with tension, admiration, and missed opportunities. “Dey Play” brings in strong Fuji influences, showcasing Bims’ deep Nigerian roots while delivering a playful and romantic storyline. “Demons” stands out as the project’s most introspective record, revealing the mental and physical exhaustion that led to his collapse at Rema’s December concert—an emotional collaboration with Zen that speaks to internal struggles.

A Statement of Intent

Beyond just a collection of songs, ‘Don Pablo’ is a declaration of Bims’ artistry and ambition. It reinforces his ability to merge cultural authenticity with global appeal, further solidifying his place in the industry. With this release, Bims isn’t just making music—he’s making a statement.

‘Don Pablo’ is now available on all streaming platforms.
