Afrodancehall sensation Ruger is back with his highly anticipated second album, BlownBoy Ru, released on March 28.
The project follows his 2023 debut, Ru The World, and marks a significant step in his mission to expand his globally celebrated sound.
While Ruger maintains his signature energy, this album signals his artistic growth and a deeper, more intentional approach to songwriting.
“With Ru The World, I was proving a point—showing people I’m not just a hitmaker but an artist with depth and range,” Ruger explained. “But on this album, I feel more comfortable in my artistry. My songwriting has evolved, with more intentional lyrics, delivery, and emotions. The raw energy is still there, but now it’s refined and more calculated.”
BlownBoy Ru explores themes of love, self-reflection, enjoyment, and the journey of life. Sonically, the album is a melting pot of Afrobeats, R&B, pop, dancehall, and Fuji influences—reflecting Ruger’s refusal to be confined to one genre.
“I never want to be boxed into one sound,” he stated. “My music has always been a blend of influences. I just let myself be free on this album.”
With BlownBoy Ru, Ruger solidifies his place as a dynamic force in the global music scene, proving once again that his artistry knows no bounds.
