NSG SET TO REDEFINE AFROSWING WITH SOPHOMORE ALBUM, THE BIG 6

British Afro Swing collective NSG is gearing up for a monumental moment in their career with the release of their sophomore album, The Big 6, slated for February 28, 2025. The album title is clearly inspired by the music group’s six members; OGD, Kruddz, Mojo, Dope, Papii Abz and Mxjib.

With 14 tracks of expertly curated music, the album boasts a star-studded lineup of collaborations featuring Nigerian heavyweights like Jeriq, PsychoYP, and Phyno, as well as Ghanaian rapper Medikal and French singer, TayC. This fusion of talents underscores NSG’s commitment to bridging the gap between UK sounds and the thriving African music scene.

The album’s cover art pays homage to the timeless imagery of The Beatles’ Abbey Road, with the six NSG members recreating the iconic zebra-crossing pose. This artistic nod reflects the group’s journey through the music industry, highlighting their evolution from a local sensation to global Afro Swing pioneers.

NSG has played a pivotal role in shaping the Afro Swing genre–a seamless blend of Afrobeat rhythms, UK rap, and dancehall influences. Their discography, marked by chart-topping hits such as “Options” and their outstanding debut album, “Area Boyz” has consistently pushed creative boundaries. With The Big 6, the group is set to further cement their legacy, presenting an innovative soundscape enriched by the dynamic collaborations featured on the album.

2024 was a year of strategic growth and relentless creativity for NSG. The group headlined multiple sold-out shows across Europe, including a memorable performance at the O2 Brixton Academy in London. They also expanded their reach into Africa, performing at major festivals like Afro Nation Ghana and Gidi Fest in Lagos, where they previewed tracks from the upcoming album to rapturous reception. Beyond the stage, NSG engaged their fanbase through interactive content on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, sparking viral dance challenges and behind-the-scenes glimpses into their creative process.

The buzz surrounding The Big 6 is palpable. Fans and industry insiders alike are eager to experience the group’s signature fusion of rhythms, clever lyricism, and cutting-edge production. As the February release date approaches, NSG continues to build momentum through strategic promotions, including exclusive listening parties in Lagos, Accra, and London. With The Big 6, they are not just releasing an album–they are shaping the future of Afro Swing, one groundbreaking track at a time.
