Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Runtown has officially rescheduled the release date for his highly anticipated album, Soundgod Fest IV. Initially slated to drop on June 13, 2025, the new release date has now been confirmed as June 27, 2025.

The announcement was made via Runtown’s Instagram page, where the singer posted the album’s official artwork along with a teaser video, giving fans a glimpse of what’s to come. In the caption, he explained that the decision to push the date was made in the interest of quality assurance and delivering an exceptional body of work.

“Moved the drop to the 27th of June to make sure it’s absolutely fire for you guys! Meanwhile, hit the pre-save link in bio. #SoundgodFestIV,” he wrote.

A Promising Comeback

Soundgod Fest IV signals Runtown’s full return to the music scene after a brief hiatus following the release of his 2022 album, Signs. The delay, according to Runtown, will allow his team to fine-tune the project, ensuring it lives up to the high expectations of fans both locally and internationally.

This forthcoming project continues the Soundgod Fest legacy, a brand Runtown has carefully cultivated over the years to represent his unique blend of sound and lyrical identity.

Singles Building the Hype

Ahead of the full album drop, Runtown has already released two singles:

• “Flow”

• “Do Me”

Both tracks have been well-received by fans and critics, praised for their smooth production, catchy rhythms, and Runtown’s signature delivery. These early releases have helped maintain fan anticipation and demonstrate the sonic direction of the album—polished, engaging, and unmistakably Runtown.

Notable Collaboration with Kizz Daniel

Adding further excitement to his comeback, Runtown recently collaborated with fellow Afrobeats heavyweight Kizz Daniel on the track “Peace I Chose”. The collaboration has generated considerable buzz across digital platforms and music circles, giving listeners a taste of the synergy between two of Nigeria’s most beloved artists.

The track blends Runtown’s introspective lyricism with Kizz Daniel’s melodic strength, creating a soulful and reflective tune that resonates with fans seeking meaningful Afrobeats storytelling.

The Journey Since Signs

Runtown’s previous project, Signs, was released in 2022 and featured a mix of Afro-fusion, R&B, and experimental sounds. While the project received mixed reviews, it highlighted Runtown’s artistic evolution and his willingness to experiment with new styles.

Since then, the artist has largely stayed out of the spotlight—until now.

With Soundgod Fest IV, he appears poised to reclaim his position among the top tier of African music exports. This album marks not just a return, but a reintroduction of Runtown’s musical identity to both loyal fans and new listeners.

What to Expect from Soundgod Fest IV

While full details of the tracklist and guest features are yet to be unveiled, Runtown’s teasers suggest the album will blend Afropop, R&B, dancehall, and global influences. Given his past projects, fans can expect:

• Rich instrumentals that fuse African rhythms with global beats

• Deep lyrical themes exploring love, identity, fame, and peace

• Minimalist but impactful production, letting Runtown’s voice and message shine

The album is expected to be available on all major streaming platforms, with fans encouraged to pre-save via links shared on his social media.

Final Word to the Fans

Runtown’s decision to delay the release has been met with understanding and support from fans, many of whom took to social media to express excitement rather than disappointment.

With the updated release date set for June 27, 2025, Soundgod Fest IV is shaping up to be one of the most eagerly awaited Afrobeats albums of the year. If the current momentum is anything to go by, Runtown’s return is not only timely—it’s bound to leave a lasting impact.

Stay tuned. The Soundgod is back.
