Nigerian music icon and genre-blending pioneer Douglas Jack Agu better known by his stage name Runtown has officially released Soundgod Fest Vol. IV, a six-track EP that reasserts his position as one of Afrobeats’ most visionary and emotionally resonant voices.

Known for hits like Mad Over You and For Life, the enigmatic Soundgod returns after a quiet spell with a project that feels like both a confession and a coronation.

Soundgod Fest Vol. IV is more than a typical release—it’s a masterclass in sonic storytelling, balancing Afro-R&B, hip-hop, soul, and global pop influences with lyrical maturity and subtle confidence.

The EP traverses universal themes of love, ego, vulnerability, nostalgia, and emotional unpredictability, showcasing Runtown’s continued evolution as a boundary-pushing artist.

Track Breakdown

The project opens with “Mood Swings”, a lush and introspective ballad that explores the delicate chaos of a partner’s ever-changing emotional rhythm. It sets the tone for an EP that doesn’t shy away from complexity.

“End A Man” is bold and braggadocious, a self-assured lyrical flex that sees Runtown owning his journey and influence. He follows it with “Mon Bébé”, a smooth Afro-R&B cut that mixes French romanticism with silky Nigerian rhythms—proof that Runtown’s pen remains elite.

The familiar fan-favorite “Do Me” finds new context within the project’s arc. Here, it feels more like a musing on desire and consequence, not just a danceable hook.

“Dangerous Hearts” featuring UK legend Mr. Hudson is a standout. Built around a sample of Sade’s “Sweetest Taboo”, it blends lush cinematic production with haunting melodies, offering a cross-generational, cross-continental moment of magic.

A Global Sound, A Singular Voice

Runtown’s work has always stood at the intersection of Nigerian identity and global ambition. With Soundgod Fest Vol. IV, he reinforces his role as one of the early Afrobeats artists who laid the foundation for today’s worldwide movement. His sonic palette is reflective of life’s contradictions—bold yet restrained, soft but confident, deeply rooted yet globally minded.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time listener, Soundgod Fest Vol. IV offers a rich, layered listening experience that reaffirms Runtown’s place in the modern African music canon.

Go ahead and suck it up

Runtown was born in Enugu but grew up partly in Abuja and Lagos, where he finished his primary education. After the death of his father, he moved to Abuja with his mother, who was working in the Ministry of Health.
