Afrobeats star Runtown, popularly known as the Soundgod, has officially announced that his upcoming album the fourth installment of his acclaimed Soundgod Fest series will be released on June 6, 2025.
This highly anticipated project comes almost three years after his last album, Signs, which was released in 2022. Following a brief hiatus, Runtown made a strong return to the scene with two new singles Flow (released in December 2024) and Do Me (released in April 2025).
A Return to Form
Runtown, known for his enigmatic personality and signature blend of Afrobeats, reggae, and R&B, has always marched to the beat of his own drum. His new releases reflect this individuality, with themes that touch on vanity, vulnerability, and the luxurious yet introspective lifestyle that has come to define him.
“Runtown lets the music speak. That’s what makes him different and respected,” a fan commented on social media following the release of Flow.
