Blackmagic 'Pass You By' Ft. Oritse Femi

Nigeria's ThreeWiseMen rapper Blackmagic hits us with the video for 'Pass You By' featuring 'Double Wahala' crooner Oritse Femi.

Blackmagic 'Pass You By' Ft. Oritse Femi


ThreeWiseMen rapper Blackmagic earned a spot on our Top Nigerian Songs of 2013 list with his smooth, trumpet-backed “Repete." It was around that same time in December that he released his sophomore album (and first since leaving Syndik8 Records), Version 2.0. Album standout "Pass You By" is a slick victory lap/thank you note backed by soulful pipes from Oritse Femi, who comes through with a strong follow-up to his Fela tribute "Double Wahala." Unveiled this week, the black/white video intersperses glimpses of an in-studio radio session and a not so subtle emphasis on Blackmagic's new #B.O.B. Based On Belief label. Watch the "Pass You By" video and listen to the radio edit (which you can download here) below.
