Ruger – BlownBoy Ru: Nigerian sensation Ruger has released his highly anticipated second studio album BlownBoy Ru, a bold follow-up to his 2023 debut Ru The World. The album, released via Promised Land Records, showcases Ruger’s genre-blending artistry and features collaborations with some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Tiwa Savage, Kranium, Zlatan, and Ugandan singer Haile.
BlownBoy Ru is a testament to Ruger’s sonic evolution, seamlessly fusing elements of Afrobeats, R&B, pop, amapiano, and dancehall. “I never want to be boxed into one sound,” Ruger says. “On this album, I just let myself be free.” The project’s diverse soundscape offers a rich listening experience that pushes the boundaries of contemporary African music.
Already gaining massive traction, tracks like “Toma Toma” featuring Tiwa Savage have garnered over 30 million global streams, while “Jay Jay”—a tribute to Nigerian football legend Jay-Jay Okocha—went viral on TikTok and amassed 234K day-one streams on Spotify. The album’s lead single, “DuDu” featuring Jamaican dancehall star Kranium, is accompanied by an official music video, setting the tone for the album’s release.
BlownBoy Ru is available now and offers listeners a chance to experience Ruger’s unapologetic creative freedom.
