The Line From Nigeria to Kaunas Runs Through BLACC GUY, a Trap Single by Http//:riri

A Nigerian-Born Rapper in Lithuania’s Second City Carries Atlanta’s Trap Lineage Into 105 Seconds

In July 2023, a Nigerian-born rapper now based in Kaunas released a single called African. It was over in one minute and 43 seconds. Three years later, Http//:riri came back to that short form with BLACC GUY, a trap single released on 26 June 2026 that runs one minute and 45 seconds. Both titles put identity first. The line between them also runs through a city that trap’s biggest names now visit.

Http//:riri sits in the playlist below with BLACC GUY, among the trap, Southern hip-hop and cloud rap picks, and his coverage is collected on his artist profile. The single came to this desk through PopHits.Co Music Charts, which verifies independent artists and places their releases across its network of music news desks. Press play, then read on for the lineage behind it.

Trap Was Named in Atlanta Trap Houses and in 2026 Plays the Biggest Indoor Arena in the Baltics

Trap takes its name from an Atlanta term for a drug house, the trap house. The sound also has a lineage worth tracing. T.I.’s second album, Trap Muzik, put the word in a title in August 2003, with the long-time T.I. producer DJ Toomp as executive producer. Producers such as Shawty Redd and Zaytoven are counted among the pioneers, and their drum language is still the template. In practice, that means programmed drums, busy hi-hats and Roland TR-808 kicks tuned with a long decay, so they double as the bass line. Later, Lex Luger’s production on Waka Flocka Flame’s Flockaveli (2010) carried that blueprint into a new decade. By the end of the 2010s, trap had become one of the most popular forms of American music.

The lineage left the American South long ago. In fact, in Lithuania it now plays at arena scale. Žalgirio Arena in Kaunas is the largest indoor arena in the Baltics. According to the national broadcaster LRT, it was booked for A$AP Rocky’s first visit to Lithuania on 25 September, one of 21 European dates on the tour. LRT also reports that EsDeeKid, the masked Liverpool rapper, plays the same arena on 13 November. The broadcaster counts EsDeeKid among the fastest-rising names in international trap and alternative hip-hop.

Lithuanian rap has a lineage of its own, too, running back to G&G Sindikatas, a group formed in 1996. Still, the arena dates are only one side of the story. The other side is the artists who release music from inside Kaunas all year round. One of them is a Nigerian-born rapper whose stage name reads like a web address.

Where Http//:riri and BLACC GUY Fit in Kaunas Trap, Three Years and 150 Songs In

His official site describes Http//:riri, who also goes by Http007r, as a Nigerian-born, Lithuania-based artist, songwriter and creative. He works across melodic rap, hip-hop, trap and Afrobeats. The same site counts more than 150 songs since he emerged in 2023, and the release history bears that out. Introvert and Extrovert both arrived in 2023, then Time Will Tell followed in March 2024. His YouTube channel calls Ellipsis (August 2024) his fourth studio album and Mother Tongue (April 2025) his fifth. Later, Mother Tongue grew into a 35-track deluxe edition, and HARD TO KILL +, 23 tracks long, followed in May 2026.

Kaunas runs through the catalogue. For example, his September 2023 single Laisves Aleja, shared with kzhtin, takes its name from Laisvės alėja (Liberty Avenue). That pedestrian street in central Kaunas is the longest in Eastern Europe. Then, in June 2024, he paired with Symme7ry on Laikas Keicia Mus, Lithuanian for “time changes us”. Those Lithuanian titles sit in a catalogue otherwise named mostly in English, from Focus and My Team on Mother Tongue to HARD TO KILL itself.

From a June Single to Track Two on an Album Where Every Title Starts With B

BLACC GUY came out as a stand-alone single on 26 June 2026. It was self-released, with the rights held in his own Http007r name, and it carries an explicit tag on Spotify. Three months on, it has become a catalogue track in the most literal sense. In fact, it is the second song on blue., the album he released on 2 October 2026. Every one of its eleven titles begins with a B, from Bane and Bandz to Billionaire blues and Born again. The singles Bantics and Bikinis went out ahead of the album in July and September. However, BLACC GUY was the first of that run to land.

The visual side is built on the same work rate. His YouTube channel carries official videos for six songs from the HARD TO KILL era, including BODY, POPPING, DO THE MOST and UNFAIR COMPARISON.

The Acts Nearest BLACC GUY Range From Bago and Symme7ry to Atlanta’s First Trap Pioneers

The closest adjacent act is Bago. In January 2026 the two released 7 BALL, a seven-track joint album. They share LEVELS, ONE OF US and the title track. Meanwhile, Bago takes HASTA LUEGO and the Lithuanian-titled NEBEJAUČIU RYŠIO solo, while Http//:riri has THAILAND and UNO. As a result, it is the clearest picture of the scene around him, with English and Lithuanian titles side by side on one record. Symme7ry and kzhtin, credited on Laikas Keicia Mus and Laisves Aleja, are two more names in that circle.

Further back, the line runs to the records that defined the form. Listeners who keep T.I.‘s Trap Muzik close know where the name and the swagger of trap came from, and BLACC GUY is descended from that template. Similarly, fans of Future, whose melodic trap records of the 2010s made the sung hook central to the genre, will find the melodic-rap side of Http//:riri’s catalogue familiar ground.

Where to Stream the BLACC GUY Trap Single and Follow the Kaunas Rapper Online

BLACC GUY is for listeners who live in hip-hop, rap and trap and want to hear where the form has travelled. It belongs on a playlist that starts in Atlanta and keeps going east. There is room on it for a Nigerian-born voice based in Lithuania’s second city.

From the BlackSounds.News curator team: “BLACC GUY is the quickest way into Http//:riri’s world: 105 seconds of trap that lead into blue., eleven B-titled tracks that together run just under 25 minutes. Start there, then go back to African from 2023 and trace where the identity-first titles began.”
