4Play Shapes the Sound of NSG’s The Big 6
UK-based production trio originating from Ghana and Jamaica, 4Play has stamped their sound across NSG’s new album “The Big 6,” producing 13 of the 14 tracks. The longtime collaborators continue their strong working relationship with NSG on this project.
The album’s only track not created by 4Play is “Sacrifice.” For everything else, the production team handled the beats.
The Big 6 boasts an eclectic mix of global collaborations, featuring artists from Ghana, Nigeria, the UK, France, and the Netherlands. With 4Play at the helm, the album delivers dynamic beats and rich soundscapes across standout tracks like “Venus” featuring UK singer LYVIA, “Tell Me” with French artist Tayc, and “Tesco” alongside Ghanaian rapper Medikal. Other notable productions include “Council Flat” featuring Jay Bahd, “Coi Leray” with Jeriq, and the electrifying “NFA” with Nigerian rap heavyweight Phyno.
4Play has been a long-time collaborator of NSG, and their growing impact on the group’s sound reinforces their position as one of the main drivers of its distinctive sound. With The Big 6, the group maintains their position as an influential group in the booming UK-Afro music landscape, spanning continents with inventive production and tracks that merge genres.
Hip-Hop Heavyweight Kingdom Kome has just dropped a new single (with accompanying video). “Cracks In the Foundation” (Produced by long-time collaborator RUEN) is a socially conscious dose of jazzy boom-bap. As the emcee states “I was driving through my old neighborhood in Miami and it really had me thinking of the current state of the world today. It got me in an introspective state and I made this message to the youth.”

Available via streaming platforms now, “Cracks In the Foundation” is the first leak from the Barrel Reserve LP fully produced by RUEN.
Less than a year after the last collaborative LP the duo dropped, Malbec 2 Kingdom Kome reveals “we never stop working on music together. A number of these tracks were recorded while we were preparing Malbec 2 but were better suited for a separate project.”
Following the high-end connoisseur angle, Barrel Reserve is expertly crafted boom-bap for the real hip-hop aficionado. This extends to the album’s guest list, which includes Supreme Cerebral, Recognize Ali, Che Uno, DJ Exes, AjaxLo, Camarah Walleed and Soarse Spoken.
Kingdom Kome is still promoting his other recent LP for 2025 Alchemy II Ein Sof, which was entirely produced by another long-time production collaborator Onaje Jordan (Hometeam).
