Overview

RuffTown Records is a Ghanaian record label established in 2015 by Ricky Nana Aygeman, a musician and singer-songwriter who is also known professionally as Bullet. The label operates in the recorded-music sector and became publicly associated with the career of singer Ebony Reigns, its first signed artist. Ebony's signing gave the young label a prominent artist around whom it could develop releases and public visibility in Ghana's music industry. A major release in the label's early history was Bonyfied, Ebony Reigns' first album released under RuffTown Records. The album was issued on December 26, 2017, and subsequently received significant industry recognition when it won Album of the Year at the 2018 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards. This award established Bonyfied as the label's most clearly documented flagship release and marked an important achievement for both Ebony and RuffTown Records. The label's early trajectory was disrupted by Ebony Reigns' death in a car accident in 2018. Her death occurred after the release of Bonyfied and represented a major loss for the artist's career and for the label's developing roster. Available reference material identifies Ebony as RuffTown Records' first signed artist but does not provide a complete account of later signings, ownership arrangements, headquarters, distribution partners, website, or current executive structure. RuffTown Records is therefore best understood as a Ghanaian music-label brand whose documented identity is closely tied to its founder Bullet, its early relationship with Ebony Reigns, and the award-winning album Bonyfied. The available sources provide only limited information about the label's broader catalog, commercial operations, international activities, and present-day artist roster.

History

RuffTown Records was founded in Ghana in 2015 by Ricky Nana Aygeman, a musician and singer-songwriter known as Bullet. The available reference identifies the label as a Ghanaian record company and places its creation within the country's contemporary popular-music industry. No additional founding-company structure, headquarters, distribution arrangement, or ownership information is provided in the cited material. Singer Ebony Reigns was the first artist signed to RuffTown Records. Her association with the label became central to its early public profile. RuffTown released Ebony's first album for the label, Bonyfied, on December 26, 2017. The album represents the clearest documented example of the label's recorded-music output and is its principal release identified in the available encyclopedia material. Bonyfied achieved formal recognition at the 2018 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, where it won Album of the Year. The award was an important early milestone for RuffTown Records and demonstrated the label's ability to place a release from its artist roster among Ghana's recognized music projects. The label's early development was affected by the death of Ebony Reigns in a car accident in 2018. She died after the release of Bonyfied and before a longer-term recording career under RuffTown could unfold. Her death is a defining event in the documented history of the label because she was its first signed artist and the central performer associated with its best-known recorded project in the available source. Beyond these events, the supplied reference material does not establish a complete chronology of RuffTown Records' subsequent releases, signings, management changes, business partnerships, or international operations. Information about the label's present artist roster and current leadership is therefore not stated here.
