The Most Anticipated Album from the studio of DMW – ‘RUM & BOOGIE’ by PERUZZI is Finally Out!
DMW’s Vibes machine, Peruzzi Drops his highly anticipated second studio album titled “Rum & Boogie” Today April 9, 2021. This project entertained us with impressive lead singles; ‘Lagbaja‘, ‘Isolova‘, ‘Southy Love‘ (which features Fireboy DML) and the recent ‘Somebody Baby‘ (featuring Davido).
For anyone who’s experienced the highs and lows of modern dating, or toed the line between playful flirtation and serious commitment, Peruzzi ’s second LP, Rum & Boogie, offers a highly relatable narrative. Punctuated with soulful vocals, humour and a ton of energy, it’s a double album that explores two distinct moods. “The Rum part represents, or tells, all the love stories and the emotional stuff,” he tells Apple Music. “The whole ups and downs of life, and all that shit. And then the Boogie part, we decided to make it the happy part—it has all the club songs, all the uptempo songs. It’s all the stuff people haven’t seen me do before—me trying new things.”
In experimenting with genres from dancehall to Afrosoul, he’s not afraid to learn from those around him. “I like to see myself as a humble person, because I feel like when you’re humble you tend to learn more,” he explains about his approach to growing as an artist and working with legends like Burna Boy, Don Jazzy and Barry Jhay. Guests here include Tiwa Savage, Fireboy DML and Davido, who signed him to his DMW label in 2017—and who continues to inspire his hustle. “When I met him I thought, he’s already achieved so much; he’s supposed to play and chill—but he was in the studio until 6, 7 am,” says Peruzzi. “It showed me that the higher you go, the more you have to give. And that’s what drives me today.”
