Ruger’s 2021 debut, Pandemic, announced the arrival of a compelling new voice in Afrobeats. Produced by Kukbeatz, the 6-track project fuses Afro-Dancehall with Reggae fusion, laying the foundation for his signature style of patois-laced delivery. The EP is a confident, swaggering introduction, born from the 2020 lockdown.
Highlights include the self-titled anthem “Ruger,” the infectious energy of “Bounce,” and the commercially successful standout, “Monalisa.”
The project showcases Ruger’s tight songwriting and ability to craft sensual, club-ready bangers, proving he successfully channeled isolation into an infectious, genre-bending start to his career.
