NSG drop their first joint of 2025 ahead of ‘The Big 6’ mixtape
African born, Hackney-based Afroswing trailblazers NSG have teamed up with rising star Lyvia for their first single of the year, ‘Venus,’ a standout track from their highly anticipated mixtape, ‘The Big 6’, set to drop on February 28th. Produced by the renowned 4Play (producers of OT Bop), ‘Venus’ captures NSG’s signature energy and fusion of Hip-Hop, Bashment, and Afro sound that has solidified their position as the UK’s leading group. Adding a fresh dynamic to the track, Lyvia’s soft, catchy chorus brings a feminine touch, cementing her status as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging talents. NSG, industry veterans and pioneers continue to break boundaries with each release, ‘The Big 6’, a 14-track project, is already generating massive buzz, boasting an all-star lineup of collaborators including Casisdead, Psycho YP, Jay Bahd, Blanco, Tay C, Murda, Medikal, Jeriq, and Phyno.
NSG—a simple yet powerful acronym that embodies a lifestyle, movement, and mantra. Evolving from ‘No Sleep Gang’ to ‘Non-Stop Grinding’ and now ‘Never Stop Growing,’ the name reflects their progress, perseverance, and self-improvement journey. NSG represents the pulse of the UK’s dynamic music scene, blending Afro-bashment rhythms with an infectious energy that transcends borders. The six-member collective—Kruddz, Mxjib, Mojo, OGD, Dope, and Papii Abz—bring charisma, melodies and lyricism, creating a synergy that’s impossible to ignore. Beyond music, they celebrate African culture with ventures like Area Bar, a vibrant venue in Accra, Ghana. Launched on New Year’s Day 2021, Area Bar has become a nightlife hotspot, drawing music lovers and notable UK artists like Headie One and Stormzy. NSG’s presence and energy have solidified their role as trailblazers in Afro music, bridging cultures and elevating the scene.
Official Tracklist for ‘The Big 6’
Renowned hitmakers, NSG’s consistency and reputation have earned them collaborations with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Aitch, Unknown T, Chip, Giggs, Backroad Gee, Seyi Vibez, Rimzee, Odomodublvck, and Potter Payper. Along the way, tastemakers like BBC Radio 1, MTV Base, BBC 1Xtra, Complex, The Face, NME, and The Fader have championed their undeniable impact. As torchbearers of the global Afroswing wave, their journey is uniquely theirs yet undeniably universal. NSG are ascending steadily and purposefully, in March they are representing the first ever Afrobeats crew line up for the legendary Red Bull Culture Clash alongside Teezee, Spinall and Pa Salieu on the Native Sound System. The peak may still lie ahead, but one thing is clear: NSG are here to stay. With the release of their new single, ‘Venus’, the group continues to raise the bar, leaving fans eagerly anticipating their upcoming project, ‘The Big 6’, set to drop in February.
