Nigerian rapper and musician Ruffcoin has released a joint single with Chimuanya and Holyman titled “Bongo Extra” on 14 August 2026 with a clearly identifiable link to the Southeast Nigerian bongo heritage.
Ruffcoin is on a par with Chimuanya and Holyman in that it allows each artist to contribute to a song based on regional musical uniqueness, rather than using the guests as temporary adds.
The music was produced by Sir Anelka and co-produced by Ruffcoin. D’BigSwish took care of the mixing and mastering so you know there’s a production team behind the three-way performance.
Chimuanya, who has worked with bongo music, notably the Ayakata Bongo albums, is an especially fitting presence. That heritage combined with Ruffcoin makes for a collabo based in sounds strongly associated with Eastern Nigeria.
