Thank You for all the sleepless nights and sacrifice. Thank You NYCE Music and the entire team who dedicated their hard work and knowledge.” He said. “Consistency is everything in this game … I remember when I started working on this album I wasn’t sure what I wanted people to hear me talk about or how I wanted to sound.

Listen to AKA’s ‘Touch My Blood’ Album. One of the most anticipated South African albums is here. Touch My Blood , AKA 's highly anticipated third studio album is finally here. The album features the likes of OkMalumKoolKat , Yanga Chief , JR , Stogie T , L-Tido , Kwesta and Kiddorminant . Kairo , AKA's daughter also appears on the closing track "Daddy Issues II." Production on TMB is handled by Master A Flat , Tweezy , Kiddominant , Makwa Beats , Buks , and AKA himself, among a few others. At16 tracks, Touch My Blood is AKA's second longest album after Altar Ego (2011). Levels (2014) and Be Careful What You Wish For (2017), his joint album with Anatii, had 11 and 10 songs respectively. TMB consists mostly of melodic songs, which is no surprise after AKA had been perfecting his pop sound and, as a result, rapping less for the past few years. The rapper said the album is his last, as he plans to focus on his business. If he lives up to his word, then the man has had one of the most prosperous careers in South African hip-hop—he has managed to remain a head honcho, dropping hits consistently since 2011 when he released "Victory Lap," his breakout hit. TMB is the first album AKA has released under his own company Beam Group. His previous projects were all released by Vth Season, the label he left two years ago.

We talk to the Nigerian artist about his breakout year and "Bounce" reaching number one on Apple Music charts. No breakout artist has been more assertive than Ruger in 2021. With his pink hair, left eye patch, alluring bravado, and lyrics such as "Ruger is the lockdown, Ruger is the pandemic" , no other afrobeats artist has commanded attention and staked a claim to be heard like he has. It's late in the afternoon when I meet Ruger at the Jonzing World headquarters, the Nigerian record label and talent management company. He steps into the room without any of the gusto he usually displays on TV. At this moment, he is Michael Adebayo Olayinka , a bright-eyed youngster who jokes about everything and watches an obscene amount of Instagram comedy. "I no sabi do anything o, just watch films and Instagram. Anyone that is funny and interesting", the Afro-dancehall artist says of his hobbies. It was on Instagram that D'prince — the head honcho of Jonzing World — discovered Ruger. Two years before Ruger was unveiled, D'Prince had revealed Rema and has since turned him into the vanguard of new age afrobeats artists. With such precedence, Ruger's excitement undoubtedly shot through the roof the first time D'Prince messaged him. "I used to do freestyles on Instagram every Saturday. I was getting like 12 to 30 comments and I had four hundred followers — I was just enjoying it. It wasn't even up to a year before I'd started putting out freestyles when I saw a DM from D'Prince." In February this year, Ruger released his self-titled debut single, which instantly thrust him into the throes of the spotlight. A month later, he shared his six-track debut Pandemic EP . Since then, his fame has stretched stealthily across Nigeria, with his innuendo-filled record "Bounce", creeping to the top of the biggest songs in Nigeria. At one point, the record peaked at number on Nigeria's most reliable charting metric Apple Music. Despite his machismo-like swagger, at his core Ruger remains zesty and comical. He's quick to crack a joke about his journey so far, and eager to burst into a captivating rendition of Fuji legend Wasiu Ayinde Marshall's music when asked what tunes he grew up on. Beneath all of Ruger's mystery is a boy who calms the air around him with jokes that easily roll off his lips, and a passionate artist determined to get his chance in the spotlight — no matter the cost. How did you get the name Ruger? D'prince gave me the name. Did he name you the first time you met? It took time. We were working, and one day, he just started calling me Ruger. I had to go search for the meaning of the name and found out it was a gun. How did you start making music? Music for me started fully when I was in secondary school. This one time, I composed a particular song that became popular among my classmates and it, even, spread to other classes. Why did you name the EP Pandemic ? Because I made those vibes during the pandemic. I'll always say this, 'You can't control the situation you find yourself in but you can control your reaction toward that situation.' I just used that energy when making music. "Mona Lisa" and "Yekpa" were made in 2019, but the rest of the songs on that EP were made during the pandemic. You must have seen the tweets, "Ruger is the lockdown, Ruger is the pandemic". What was the inspiration behind that line? [Chuckles] I brought the pandemic back, you dey on lockdown as you dey so, I brought it back. I feel like it's been a while since someone came out with a confrontational line like that one.
