Nigerian Afro-dancehall star Ruger opens a new chapter of his artistry with “R.U. (Raw & Unfiltered), Vol.1,” a six-track EP that presents a more honest and versatile side of the singer beyond his usual energetic sound.
Released independently under BlownBoy Entertainment, the project explores different emotions, experiences, and musical influences while maintaining Ruger’s signature melodic identity. From personal reflections to international collaborations, the EP captures a broader picture of the artist’s growth and creative direction.
The project’s tracklist includes “She Don’t Like Men,” “All Die,” “Private Chef” featuring MC Morena, “Do Nothing” featuring Musa Keys and Young Stunna, “Loved at Home,” and “Jesus Loves Me.” Each record explores a different mood, from introspective moments and spiritual reflections to vibrant Afrobeats, Brazilian funk influences, and South African Amapiano energy.
Written and composed by Ruger, with Kukbeat serving as executive producer and Milla Mix handling mixing and mastering, “R.U. (Raw & Unfiltered), Vol.1” represents a more personal era for the artist. The EP highlights his ability to balance vulnerability, experimentation, and global sounds while staying connected to his roots.
