A late-night moodboard more than a traditional rap album, Rendezvous stands as one of M.I. Abaga’s most experimental and collaborative projects. Released in 2018, the playlist leans into Lagos nightlife, its energy, chaos, softness, and coded conversations
Across the 15 tracks, he brings in a diverse cast of young creatives, Odunsi, CKay, Falz, Nonso Amadi, BlaqBonez, Yung L, Dice Ailes, Ajebutter22, Terry Apala, and more.
The playlist fuses rap with alte, R&B, Afropop, trap, and mellow electronic textures. It feels like the city at 1 am, restless but glowing.
M.I. navigates a complex web of charm and reflection, relationships, self-awareness, ambition, lust, loyalty, and the fragile power dynamics between men, women, and fame.
Rendezvous ultimately showed a veteran adapting with ease, choosing collaboration over dominance, vibe over rigidity, and storytelling through ambiance rather than bars alone.
