Soundgod Music Group is a Nigerian record label and artist-services outfit founded by Runtown (Douglas Jack Agu) in June 2018, shortly after he left his previous label, Eric Many Entertainment, following a contract dispute.

It is independent, founded and controlled by Runtown himself. At launch it was described as a “360 entertainment company” intended to cover recording, promotion and distribution for the artist. Runtown also runs a linked charitable initiative, We Are New Africa (WANA), alongside business partners Ugo Mozie and Ifeanyi Nwune.

Soundgod remains Runtown’s current recording home; his most recent release, the EP Soundgod Fest IV, credits Soundgod Music in partnership with Atlantic Records. No dedicated company website has been found; its main public channels are Facebook and Runtown’s own “Soundgod worldwide” Instagram.
