Nigerian Afrobeats singer Ruger joins forces with rapper ODUMODUBLVCK on “DRTY,” a lively collaboration that brings Lagos nightlife and Detty December energy into one record.
The two artists have different musical styles, but this combination makes sense. Ruger handles the catchy melodies, while ODUMODUBLVCK brings his familiar street-rap delivery. Both artists approach the song with plenty of confidence, keeping the focus on enjoyment and living life on their own terms.
There is a lot of Lagos in this record. Ruger talks about moving around the city, enjoying good food and spending time with his crew. References to Eko Hotel, Banana Island and the nightlife scene give the song a familiar setting for anyone who understands the Lagos party lifestyle.
ODUMODUBLVCK takes things further with his verse. He switches between English, Pidgin and Igbo, adding his own humour and energetic delivery. His appearance also gives the song a different character from Ruger’s usual solo releases.
One interesting detail is how the artists connect the record to the festive season. The chorus points towards the approaching Detty December celebrations, while the lyrics reference partying and enjoying the moment. There is even a playful nod to Tekno’s popular song “Pana.”
“DRTY” runs for 3 minutes and 20 seconds and was released through Blownboy Entertainment under exclusive licence to Promised Land Recordings Limited. It follows Ruger’s 2025 album BlownBoy Ru and his 2026 EP R.U. (Raw & Unfiltered) Vol. 1.
The collaboration brings two strong Nigerian music personalities together on a record clearly made for the party season.
