Multi-Award winning American-Nigerian artist B'kem, a recipient of multiple awards, made history as the first African American male to grace the Colors Of Love platform. His recent album release, "Take," has garnered significant attention for its compelling messages, resulting in a surge of streams.

 

Moreover, he stood out among thousands of entries to earn a coveted spot on America’s beloved NPR Tiny Desk, where he performed the captivating song "Taking Over" as a featured artist alongside Ofendaa.

B’kem's foundation in music began early—developed as a drummer from the age of 9—shaping his rhythmic instincts and deepening his artistic expression. He has since performed all over and appeared in multiple media outlets including FOX News, Jamaican Gleaner, Pulse Nigeria, Guide Radio, Sunny FM (Ghana), Voyage LA, Afroglobal TV, Rhythmic Rebellion, Maranatha Awards, and FENIX360, to name a few.

​

What separates B’kem from the majority of his hip hop compatriots is his approach. Unlike most rappers who take the lazy route—dirty lyrics, violent behavior, substance abuse, and over-sexualized imagery—B’kem searches for truths that can be incorporated into his sound, creating a unique voice that uplifts while it challenges.
