Ruger Drops Sophomore Album BlownBoy RU
Nigerian music sensation Ruger has officially released his highly anticipated sophomore album, BlownBoy RU. The 13-track project marks his first full-length effort under his independent imprint, BlownBoy Entertainment, following his departure from Jonzing World in 2024. The album not only showcases Ruger’s evolution as an artist but also solidifies his position as a force to reckon with in the Afrobeats scene.
Featuring a mix of high-energy anthems and introspective storytelling, BlownBoy RU includes previously released hits like BlownBoy Anthem, Toma Toma featuring Tiwa Savage, and Toro. Each track highlights Ruger’s signature blend of Afrobeats, dancehall, and street-hop influences, delivering a versatile listening experience.
The album boasts an impressive lineup of guest appearances, including Jamaican dancehall star Kranium on Dudu, Nigerian street-hop heavyweight Zlatan, and rising talent Valiant. British-Jamaican singer Haile lends his voice to Runaway, while Tiwa Savage’s collaboration on Toma Toma adds an extra layer of star power.
Lyrically, BlownBoy RU explores themes of success, love, independence, and the highs and lows of fame. Tracks like BlownBoy Anthem serve as a bold statement of Ruger’s newfound artistic freedom, while others dive into romance and hustle-driven narratives. With production credits from top-tier producers like Kukbeatz, the album strikes a balance between polished sound and raw emotion.
Clocking in at 13 tracks, BlownBoy RU is a testament to Ruger’s artistic growth and ability to craft a compelling body of work. As he continues his journey as an independent artist, this album reinforces his status as a major player in the global Afrobeats movement.
