Cruel Santino, the Nigerian alté pioneer, has shared a new song called “International Collector” with his signature moody, atmospheric energy. The track arrives as the lead single from his forthcoming project, KINGS OF THE BOUNCE, which he announced alongside another cut titled “Oz” featuring Jeriq. Both songs will land this Friday as a two-pack release.
The record opens with ambient production and a laid-back groove that pulls you in immediately. Santino flows smoothly over the beat, blending his trademark vocal style with infectious melodies. His delivery feels creative and unhurried, making the track engaging from the first listen. The production is clean and well-balanced, so every layer comes through naturally.
Fans know Santino for pushing boundaries across alternative sounds. He started as Santi before changing his name in 2020, and he has moved through projects like Subaru Boys: Final Heaven and Suzie’s Funeral with ease. His work under Monster Boy and Interscope keeps him connected to a wider global audience while staying rooted in Lagos.
This release suits late nights and reflective moments, when you want music that feels spacious and intentional. It is another reminder that Santino remains one of the most inventive voices in Nigerian alternative music.
