Ruger drops highly anticipated second album 'BlownBoy Ru'

After an incredible run of viral moments and hit singles, Ruger has officially released his second studio album, 'BlownBoy Ru', further solidifying his status as one of Nigeria’s most in-demand artists. The MOBO ‘25 nominee and Spotify ‘Artist To Watch 2025 delivers a 13-track project featuring standout collaborations with Tiwa Savage, Kranium, Zlatan, and Haile, making this a must-listen release.

Following his 2023 debut 'Ru The World', expectations were high, and BlownBoy Ru does not disappoint. The album captures Ruger’s journey, reflections, love, and enjoyment, embracing a diverse sonic palette that blends Afrobeats, R&B, pop, dancehall, and Fuji influences. Fresh off the back of his viral COLORS performance, this project is a testament to his versatility and ever-growing artistry.

To celebrate the release, Ruger is set to embark on a massive US & EU tour this spring, hitting iconic venues such as Brooklyn Bowl in Philadelphia, Thalia Hall in Chicago, and Ancienne Belgique in Brussels. In September, he returns to the UK for headline shows at Manchester’s O2 Ritz, Birmingham’s O2 Institute, and London’s Indigo at The O2.
