A real awards nomination became a creative spark: Ryu, The Runner turns the Prêmio Multishow experience into a hard-hitting trap single produced by Neckklace.
On Tuesday, April 7, Ryu, The Runner releases the new single “PRÊMIO MULTISHOW”, accompanied by a music video dropping at 9 PM (Brazil time). Produced by Neckklace and released through Som Livre, the track marks the second step in Ryu’s buildup toward his upcoming mixtape “ADULTO IDEAL VOL. 2”.
From nomination to track: the story behind the song
The song draws directly from a milestone in the artist’s journey. In 2025, Ryu received a nomination at the Prêmio Multishow — one of Brazil’s most prestigious music awards — and the experience hit differently than he expected.
“I made this track after getting nominated. I went to the event and it was something else, man — I wasn’t expecting it. It was amazing for me. I said: I have to name this track ‘Prêmio Multishow’ to also symbolize where this genre is reaching.” — Ryu, The Runner
For Ryu, the track goes beyond personal celebration. It signals the growing presence of Brazilian trap in mainstream industry spaces — without compromising the genre’s raw authenticity.
“I think it represents a lot: making a trap song as a nominated artist, but one who really makes the genre and delivers the lived experience the way it has to be delivered, the way the audience wants to see it.” — Ryu, The Runner
Neckklace: a partnership built on hits
The production comes from Neckklace, one of the most respected names in Brazilian trap and a frequent collaborator of Ryu. Together, they’ve crafted standout tracks like “Mantém o Pique”, “Vandame”, “FNB”, and “GRG”.
“We’ve got an amazing energy going, working together a lot. Every song I’ve released with Neckklace is a hit. He really understands the way I think and brings references from all over the place.” — Ryu, The Runner
Who is Ryu, The Runner
Born in Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, Ryan Gonçalves is 21 years old and stands as one of the leading voices in Brazil’s new generation of trap. He started producing beats and working with local artists at just 13. By 2020, he officially launched his career as a performer.
Since then, he’s released projects like “EVDC Deluxe”, “Embalo”, and “SEMRÉH” — which debuted in the Global Top 4 — earning gold and platinum certifications along the way. In 2025, the mixtape “ADULTO IDEAL” marked a turning point, exploring the growth and tensions of a young artist coming into his own.
Ryu also hit No. 1 in both Brazil and Portugal as a featured artist on “Qual é Seu Desejo” by TZ da Coronel. Now, “PRÊMIO MULTISHOW” sets the stage for “ADULTO IDEAL VOL. 2” and the next chapter of his career.
