Runtown

**Runtown** (born Douglas Jack Agu) is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and producer who’s become a heavyweight in Afrobeat and Afropop. Hailing from Enugu State, this versatile artist first grabbed attention with his 2015 smash *"Gallardo"* and solidified his status with *"Mad Over You"* (2016), a romantic banger that went viral across Africa and beyond. Known for blending dancehall rhythms with smooth Yoruba and English lyrics, Runtown’s music often celebrates love, ambition, and streetwise swagger. His recent releases like *"Amapiano Reincarnated"* and *"Denge II"* show his knack for staying ahead of trends while keeping his signature laid-back vibe.

Beyond his solo work, Runtown’s collaborations with artists like Wizkid and Davido have cemented his role in shaping modern Afro-fusion. He’s also made waves as a producer and entrepreneur, founding Eric Many Entertainment. Whether he’s dropping club-ready anthems or introspective jams like *"Understanding Love,"* Runtown keeps his sound fresh while staying rooted in Nigerian musical culture.
