Runda Teams Up with Peruzzi for Intimate Afro-R&B Track “Hold Me Down”
From his early days rapping in high school in Agege, Lagos, to his latest collaboration with Peruzzi, Runda has carved a path of quiet determination and artistic growth. Born Oluwapelumi Olorunda in 1999, Runda transformed his passion for poetry and music into a promising career, drawing inspiration from legends like Michael Jackson, Wizkid, and 2face. Now, he shares a deeply personal piece of his heart with the world through his new single, “Hold Me Down.”
“Hold Me Down,” a sultry Afro-R&B collaboration with fellow ONErpm artist Peruzzi, is a slow-burning groove that masterfully balances romance and yearning. Over lush guitar melodies and a hypnotic beat, Runda’s velvety vocals paint a picture of devotion with lines like “All my life, you be the one I wan dey hold,” while Peruzzi’s verse adds a touch of playful flirtation. The track thrives on its simplicity, with a chorus anchored by the repeated plea “Hold me down,” celebrating both quiet moments and passionate encounters.
The song’s magic lies in its intimate atmosphere. The lyrics evoke images of candlelit whispers, stormy reunions, and the comforting assurance of unwavering support. Runda’s tender delivery contrasts beautifully with Peruzzi’s fiery charm, creating a dynamic that mirrors the complexities of real love—messy, heartfelt, and undeniably magnetic. “Hold Me Down” is designed for late-night drives or lazy Sunday mornings, offering not just a love song, but a promise wrapped in rhythm and soul.
