Ruger, Bnxn - The Making of 'POE' | Vevo Footnotes
It’s hard to believe Ruger and Bnxn were recently in, as they discussed with Billboard, a “beef.” Both chill Nigerian dudes, they’re natural partners, quick to laugh and well-skilled at fashioning catchy tunes. We saw that firsthand when they bopped through our London studio while on the promo grind for their surprise collab album, ‘RnB.’ While its title is a sly play on words that, in part, points to American groove music, R and B's link-up is a significant moment in 2024 for their home continent’s pop sound - one that’s currently overtaking the globe. “For Afrobeats right now, many of us don’t work together, many of us don’t drop join projects like that,” the wily Ruger has explained. If ‘RnB’ was promoted to their respective stan armies as a call for online unification, then “Ilashé” has been ultimate peacemaker. It’s an undeniably catchy tune, and sounds even better when you watch the duo bounce around our ctrl stage. Afterwards, we grabbed them for a Footnotes on the airline shenanigans of their “POE” video. “To our surprise the TSA security guys were cool,” laughed Bnxn. Seems no one can deny their collective good energy.
