Afrobeats singer-songwriter Ruger (over 160 million streams and 158m Youtube views) is back with two next tracks "Red Flags," which he collaborated with producer TSB, who has worked with artists such as Stormzy & J Hus; and "Asiwaju" with frequent collaborator Kukbeats.

He has seen success with hits like ‘Bounce’, ‘Dior’ and  which both have over 50M streams and ‘Dior’ reached number 15 on the UK Afrobeats Singles Chart. He describes his sound as “crazy, energetic and real” (or “AfroDancehall” if he has to choose), and this single is expected to deliver nothing less.

In Nigeria, the rising star has recorded three top ten hits across two EPs; "Bounce," "Dior" and "Girlfriend" - the last two made his sophomore EP, Second Wave (Deluxe), one of the only four EPs to have spurned multiple top ten hits in the country.
