BNXN unveils “Jies,” a club-ready single from his 16‑song Captain album, produced by UK‑based Young Soul. Drawing on the hook from Burna Boy’s early collaboration “Turn Up” with LeriQ and Phyno,
“Jies”—short for ju idi e seyin—finds BNXN staking his claim on the dancefloor. Over pulsing percussion and layered synth stabs, he paints a scene of late-night allure as he assures his interest that her boyfriend can’t match his style or swagger. The track balances nostalgia and innovation, taking a familiar interpolation and reshaping it into BNXN’s own invitation: “I’m chilling in the highest manner and I want you to join me, so let’s dance.”
Born Benedict Chukwukadibia Samuel in Lagos, BNXN first broke through under the moniker Buju with his 2019 hit “Spiritual” featuring Zlatan. He amassed over two billion streams before rebranding and founding To Your Ears (T.Y.E) Records to retain creative control. His debut album, Sincerely, Benson, showcased his talent for fusing Afrobeat, R&B, and dancehall, while collaborations with Wizkid and Burna Boy solidified his place among modern Afrobeats’ most innovative voices. With Captain, distributed by EMPIRE, BNXN deepens his sonic palette, blending UK club influences with his Nigerian roots. “Jies” exemplifies his evolution: a confident, dancefloor‑driven anthem that honors his influences while pushing his artistry forward.
Available now on all major streaming platforms, “Jies” underscores BNXN’s reputation as a hitmaker and his ability to transform familiar elements into fresh, compelling music.
