Nigerian Afrobeats singer and producer Runtown has officially dropped his long-awaited EP, “Soundgod Fest IV,” marking a powerful return to the spotlight with six tracks that blend introspection, boldness, and cinematic sound design.
Released on June 27, 2025, the new body of work captures Runtown’s evolution—both musically and emotionally—and reaffirms why he remains one of the most versatile artists in African music.
“Soundgod Fest IV” is short and intentional. At just 15 minutes long, it packs depth, emotion, and sharp production without any filler.
Unlike previous “Soundgod Fest” editions, this volume goes beyond sound—it explores emotion. In his words, Runtown wanted to make music that “felt like freedom, but spoke from wounds.”
🎙️ “It’s not just a project. It’s a state of mind,” Runtown tweeted shortly after the release.
Within hours of its release, #SoundgodFestIV was trending on Twitter Nigeria. Fans praised the raw lyrics, the sample choices, and Runtown’s silky vocals.
One fan tweeted:
“This is how you make a comeback. No noise. Just substance. Thank you, Runtown.”
Music critics on Pulse NG and NotJustOk have hailed the EP as “a masterclass in vulnerability and control.”
“Soundgod Fest IV” is a rare blend of emotion, confidence, and craft. It’s not trying to chase trends—it’s carving a lane of its own. If this is Runtown’s reintroduction, it was well worth the wait.
Whether you’re in a mood swing or just seeking new vibes, this EP is a short ride with a lasting echo.
