Recording artiste I-Octane releases his first song of 2025, "Opportunist", featuring fellow singjay Shane O, on Friday, February 7, accompanied by a stunning music video directed by BlingBlang, one of the industry's most sought-after directors, known for crafting compelling and emotionally resonant narratives.
This powerful track serves as an anthem for resilience, highlighting the importance of cutting ties with energy drainers and protecting one’s peace in the face of adversity.
"Opportunist" also sets the stage for I-Octane’s upcoming album, "God & I", which marks his return to soulful reggae roots. the track is produced by his five-year-old daughter, Nahbi Reign, a budding musical talent who has already displayed remarkable skill and creativity under her label, "NiNi Records".
"I want everyone to subscribe to all my music platforms because this project is personal to me. A lot of people turned their backs on me over hearsay and never gave me a chance. I almost lost everything because of how they tried to tarnish my name and brand," Octane expressed. "Last year, I woke up and realized that if I didn’t speak my truth, I would lose myself. So, I decided to just sing without worrying about who will listen. That’s why I named the project God & I.”
