Runtown, the enigmatic Soundgod, known for his ability to blend sonic subtlety with lyrical depth, has just dropped a brand-new track titled “Do Me.” It comes on the heels of Flow, his confident reentry into the scene after a long hiatus, and marks his second official release since his 2022 cult-favorite album Signs.
Where Flow felt like a cautious stretch after a long slumber, Do Me sounds like a fully awakened spirit. It’s intentional, unbothered, and deeply reflective. There’s something intimate about it, like flipping through someone’s diary pages written in luxury ink and late-night honesty.
The production by Caleb Mayowa Alaba with the forthcoming EP executive produced/A&R by George Beke , aka Fadah is hypnotic, a slow burn built on laid-back Afropop rhythms, laced with a nostalgic undertone. Do Me is drenched in that same haunting sense of cool detachment, but with the warmth and wisdom of someone who’s lived through the highs and lows. Lyrically, the song feels like Runtown is talking straight into your ear. He’s not begging for attention, not flexing for applause. He’s just letting out his soft-spoken scream about vanity, vulnerability, and the curated thrill of luxury living.
In a time when the Nigerian music scene seems obsessed with bigger, louder, faster, Runtown daresto do the opposite. Do Me is a quiet flex and a thoughtful exhale. It’s not trying to be a hit; it’s trying to be real. And in that honesty lies its magic.
What makes Runtown special has always been his ability to stay on his lane. He doesn’t shout. He resonates. And with Do Me, he reminds us why we fell in love with his music in the first place. It’s a song for long drives, late nights, and his real day ones. A meditation on indulgence and introspection from someone who’s seen it all and somehow still wants more.
