Coming out from Ruki’s first quarter pack of singles is “Kariyah”, a piece she tactically wove for liars, gossips, false witnesses and the likes that make wrong illogic and unfounded suspicions about others.
In the social circles of places where people snitch, snoop, defame characters, spread rumours and form lies to slander others, “Kariyah” sits fit as ths perfect musical whip to be launched on the back of those that peddle lies and rumours.
Obviously, with the release of “Kariyah”, Ruki seeks to make some sort of moral cleansing within our communities to reduce the count of habitual gossip mongers, snitches and liars that make it their nosy business to tarnish the hard-earned reputations of others.
Over the years, lies have wrecked havoc on many innocent victims that couldn’t defend themselves. Lies have sent many to prisons. Lies have had the innocent victimized. It is then safe to say “Kariyah” is coming to shut up liars up.
Ruki must have been irritated by the ugly heck that serious lies had wrecked on somebody that’s so clean and the irritation annoyed her to her pen and pad, thus, she wrote “Kariyah” with the concern of getting the victims of false gossips a passive anthem with which they can allude liars or shut them up.
Sung with Hausa lines, it is most likely that “Kariyah” will hit the Zongo communities as a viral street anthem and that would mean that for every little lie told, the liar would get lyrically whipped with Ruki’s “Kariyah” and that’s a hilarious clap back.
“Kariyah” comes out on 7th February. Production credits goes to DJ Gashie. The checks said Ruki recorded the joint inside Zhayon Rock Studio in Accra.
