Hot on the heels of releasing Unruly with Meekz and Ride with North London rap act Nines, the six-piece east London, Afro-fusion collective NSG today announce the release of their highly-anticipated, forthcoming debut album Area Boyz and the project’s star-studded track-list which boasts collaborations with an array of fellow heavyweight music acts.
Set to be released on October 20th the 19-track album offers 17 previously unheard songs, some of which feature collaborations with some of the most exciting acts from across the world such as French rapper MHD, Nigerian music sensations Seyi Vibez and Odumodublvck, Ghanaian Hip-Hop act Sarkodie, Cameroonian-American breakout star Libianca, UK homegrown acts Aitch and Tion Wayne and long-time collaborator JAE5.
The news follows their recent sold-out ‘Make Afroswing Great Again Show’ at Here At Outernet which saw NSG teaming-up with JAE5, Steel Banglez and Dankie Sounds to bring together some of the scene’s hottest and most influential acts such as Tion Wayne, Kojo Funds, Young T & Bugsey, Darkoo and more. Their recent tours saw them taking their one-of-a-kind live performances to sold-out venues across Europe, Africa and most recently Canada and this summer they teamed up with La Fam to host an Area Boyzmerch pop-up in Paris.
Best described as a brotherhood, members Kruddz, Mxjib, Mojo, OGD, Dopeand Papii Abz dominated 2021 with the release of their Headliner EP which featured stellar collaborations with Mist, Patoranking and long-time collaborator JAE5 and showstopping performances of their summer smash hit ‘Petite’ – including that year’s MOBO Awards.
