ClassiQ, the Kano-born rapper known for pioneering Northern hip-hop fusion, teams up with fast-rising talent Ynug on the motivational single “CR7.” Dropped in October 2024 as Track 9 off the Bakin Bature Vol. 1 mixtape, the collaboration celebrates success, hustle, and ambition—drawing inspiration from Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic nickname CR7 to symbolize dedication and excellence.
Produced by rising hitmakers Mella Jones, Xphil, and Sizzle Pro, “CR7” combines punchy Afro-rap percussion and melodic flexibility to create a 2:43 anthem that drives energy and confidence. ClassiQ opens with a confident verse, invoking Northern pride and swagger, while Ynug brings smooth rhyme transitions and anthemic hooks that elevate the track’s replay value.
The song’s message is clear: like CR7 on the pitch, Northern youth are urged to chase their dreams relentlessly—whether in music, business, or community leadership. It’s both a club-ready bop and a source of motivation for fans who see Northern stars breaking barriers and climbing heights.
Bakin Bature Vol. 1 is a showcase of ClassiQ’s growth, blending local language with universal themes. Winning Artiste of the Year at the Arewa Music Awards validated both his strategy and influence; “CR7” stands as one of that album’s highlight collaborations.
Synergy between a veteran (ClassiQ) and rising star (Ynug). Listen to “CR7” now and let the Northern energy fuel your hustle.
