Ruger has dropped his sophomore album, BlownBoy Ru, a 13-track project showcasing his signature Afrodancehall sound with hits like Jay Jay, Toma Toma (feat. Tiwa Savage), and DuDu (feat. Kranium).
Following his viral COLORS performance, the album highlights his artistic growth, blending Afrobeats, dancehall, R&B, and even Fuji influences. Ruger explains that while his debut Ru The World proved his versatility, this album reflects a more refined, intentional approach to songwriting and emotion—still energetic but more calculated.
Anticipation for BlownBoy Ru soared after Toma Toma surpassed 30M streams and Jay Jay—a tribute to Jay-Jay Okocha—racked up 234K Spotify streams in one day, amassing 50M+ TikTok views.
Spotify named Ruger a Global Artist To Watch 2025, while his MOBO nomination for Best African Music Act and BBC 1Xtra Live Lounge debut further cemented his rise. Standout tracks include the trap-infused Give Away (feat. Zlatan) and the amapiano-driven Runaway (feat. Haile), solidifying Ruger’s genre-defying appeal.
Listen & share.
