From rapping in high school in Agege, Lagos, to collaborating with Peruzzi, Runda's path has been one of quiet determination. Born Oluwapelumi Olorunda in 1999, he transformed his love for poetry and music into a promising career, drawing inspiration from icons like Michael Jackson, Wizkid, and 2face. Now, he's sharing a piece of his heart with the world.
“Hold Me Down,” Runda’s sultry new collaboration with fellow ONErpm artiste Peruzzi, is a slow-burning Afro-R&B groove that balances romance and yearning. Over lush guitar melodies and a hypnotic beat, Runda’s velvety vocals paint devotion with lines like “All my life, you be the one I wan dey hold,” while Peruzzi’s verse adds playful flirtation. The track thrives on simplicity—its chorus, anchored by the repeated plea “Hold me down,” celebrates quiet moments as much as passion.
The song’s magic lies in its intimacy. Lyrics evoke candlelit whispers, stormy reunions, and the calm of knowing someone’s “got your back.” Runda’s tender delivery contrasts Peruzzi’s fiery charm, creating a push-pull dynamic that mirrors real love—messy, heartfelt, and undeniably magnetic. Designed for late-night drives or lazy Sunday mornings, “Hold Me Down” isn’t just a love song; it’s a promise wrapped in rhythm and soul.
