Yung6ix and Vector have joined forces on a new single titled “Never Have I Ever,” a track that’s already generating buzz for its lyrical depth, dynamic collaboration, and nod to the genre’s roots in authentic wordplay.
“Never Have I Ever,” released on February 27 2026, borrows its name from the popular conversational game but flips the concept into a high-stakes hip-hop exercise built on bravado, reflection, and artistic pride. The song brings together two of Nigeria’s most enduring rap figures: Yung6ix, often dubbed the King of the South for his swaggering style and influence in the local scene, and Vector, widely respected as one of the sharpest lyricists on the continent.
The track thrives as a showcase of veteran prowess, with Vector delivering a masterclass in complex punchlines, metaphors, and verbal agility, maintaining his reputation for cerebral lyricism. Yung6ix complements this with his signature “billionaire flow,” an assertive cadence rooted in his experiences rising through Nigeria’s gritty underground rap circuits. Together, they craft verses that feel both personal and universally resonant, rap as both storytelling and statement.
Production on “Never Have I Ever,” handled by CIQ, leans into a sophisticated blend of hip-hop and Afrobeats sensibilities. The instrumentals balance brooding synths with crisp percussion and deep 808 lows, creating an atmosphere that foregrounds every bar. The minimalist beat serves the traditional rap ethos: let the words speak first, and let the rhythm support, not overshadow.
As hip-hop in Nigeria and across Africa continues to diversify and evolve, songs like “Never Have I Ever” remind listeners that there’s enduring power in raw lyrical talent and in artists who have lived through the culture rather than simply capitalizing on its moments. This is rap that looks back without nostalgia and looks forward without compromise.
