Boj and Ajebutter22 reunite for ‘Time Of Our Lives’

The alté gods have answered our prayers. Boj and Ajebutter22, two architects of Nigeria’s alternative music movement, are back together with their new collaborative single “Time Of Our Lives,” and it’s everything we needed right now.

These two have history that runs deep—their previous joint projects like Make E No Cause Fight helped define what alté could be. Now, working under their creative collective of the same name, they’ve crafted a track that feels both nostalgic and completely current. “Time Of Our Lives” captures that signature minimalist alté sound they helped pioneer—think syncopated drums that bounce just right, warm electric piano keys, and a bassline that rolls through like waves on Bar Beach. The production sits perfectly in that mid-tempo sweet spot, conjuring images of Lagos rooftop sessions and intimate beachside gatherings.

What makes this reunion special is how effortlessly their styles still mesh. Ajebutter22 brings his signature laid-back, conversational rap approach, dropping witty bars about designer fits, modern romance, and the Lagos social scene with that deadpan delivery only he can pull off. Boj counters with his raspy, melodic hook work that floats over the instrumental like it was made for his voice alone. The track is breezy, sophisticated, and made for endless replays—a perfect reminder that some creative partnerships are simply meant to last.

“Time Of Our Lives” proves that Boj and Ajebutter22 haven’t lost a single step. They’re still setting the standard for what alternative African music can sound like.
