UK-based Afroswing collective NSG has kicked off 2025 with their latest single, “Venus”, featuring rising talent Lyvia. Released on February 6th, the track offers a glimpse into NSG’s upcoming 14-track mixtape, The Big 6, set to drop on February 28th.
With production from 4Play, best known for their work on NSG’s hit “OT Bop”, “Venus” blends elements of Hip-Hop, Bashment, and Afrobeats, a signature sound that has solidified NSG as leaders in the UK’s vibrant Afroswing scene.
Lyvia’s soft, melodic chorus adds a refreshing contrast to NSG’s rhythmic energy, making Venus a dynamic collaboration that showcases the group’s ability to experiment while maintaining their unmistakable style. The song’s themes of attraction, confidence, and self-assurance align with NSG’s ongoing narrative of growth and resilience, reinforcing why the group continues to resonate with fans worldwide.
As The Big 6 builds anticipation, the project boasts an impressive roster of collaborations, including artists like Casisdead, Psycho YP, Blanco, Tay C, Murda, Medikal, Jeriq, and Phyno, promising a diverse and electrifying body of work.
Beyond their music, NSG has established a presence that extends past the studio. Their entrepreneurial ventures, such as Area Bar in Accra, Ghana, reflect their commitment to celebrating and uplifting African culture. Additionally, their involvement in Red Bull Culture Clash 2025, where they’ll represent the first-ever Afrobeats crew lineup alongside Teezee, Spinall, and Pa Salieu, further cements their status as global trailblazers.
NSG’s journey from East London schoolmates to international chart-toppers has been marked by consistency and innovation. With past collaborations featuring artists like Aitch, Unknown T, Giggs, and Backroad Gee, and coverage from platforms like BBC Radio 1, Complex, and The Fader, the group continues to shape the future of Afroswing.
With “Venus” setting the tone for what’s to come, The Big 6 is shaping up to be another milestone in their already impressive career. Listen to “Venus” below!
