JE The #1 Baller and Mersea kick off 2026 with the “BAG”

The Nigerian music duo JE The #1 Baller and Mersea start the year off with a bold statement, and their new song, "BAG," makes it clear right away that it's more than just a collaboration, it's a meeting of minds. After months of studio work and creative brainstorming, the band has developed a sound that is both adventurous and very Nigerian. It mixes hip hop, Afro-influenced rhythms, and hints of the new 3-step movement.

The song "BAG" shows how well the two work together. JE The #1 Baller and Mersea wanted to push the limits instead of just going along with what was expected. The production's sharp beats and the way the melodies fit perfectly into the rhythmic framework show this. The song has a lot of life, and it sounds like they were trying new things, which makes it feel like a natural evolution of their individual sounds. At the same time, it stands out as something that was made together.

"BAG" differs because it can easily move between musical styles. It pays homage to modern Nigerian culture while retaining the global edge that makes Afro-inspired hip-hop so popular worldwide. It sounds confident but friendly, polished but fun, and it hints at the exciting paths both artists might take in the months to come.

JE The #1 Baller and Mersea have made something that feels both natural and planned in a music scene where collaboration often feels like a formula. "BAG" isn't just a song, it's a statement that these two artists are paying attention to each other, trying new things together, and ready to change the sound of modern Nigerian music.
