During an interview on Apple Music Africa Now Radio, BNXN and Ruger discussed their highly anticipated collaborative EP, which they described as embodying the true essence of collaboration.
In the conversation with Nandi Madiba, BNXN emphasized that the ‘RnB‘ EP showcased synergy at its peak, highlighting the seamless blend of their talents and creative energies.
“It shows quality, it shows the real essence of collaboration – how to bounce off each other, how to learn from each other, how to pick this and flow off what this person [did]. It’s like a relay race,” BNXN said on the 7-track project, which serves as a celebration of the truce between both artists after nearly 2 years of rift.
