ONEFOUR Taps Nemzzz For New Single ‘SPINNIN’
19 Nov 2024
In a collaboration that bridges continents, Australian drill collective ONEFOUR has teamed up with UK lyricist Nemzzz for their latest single, ‘SPINNIN.’ The track, released today, is a potent showcase of the group’s dedication to pushing boundaries while staying true to their gritty roots. Featuring woozy bass kicks and atmospheric piano notes, the production provides a rich canvas for ONEFOUR’s signature lyrical prowess and Nemzzz’s fluid storytelling. Touching on themes of relationships and resilience, “SPINNIN” serves as a testament to the collective’s growing influence from Mount Druitt to Manchester.
As pioneers of Australia’s underground music scene, ONEFOUR—comprised of J Emz, Spenny, Celly, and Lekks—has built an impressive resume. The collective has surpassed 300 million streams on Spotify, solidifying their reputation with hits like “The Message” and “Spot the Difference.” Their global collaborations have further amplified their reach, partnering with A$AP Ferg on “Say It Again” and appearing alongside UK giants Headie One, Stormzy, and AJ Tracey on the remix of “Ain’t It Different.” These achievements reflect their ability to transcend borders, cementing their status as cultural ambassadors for Australian drill.
ONEFOUR’s journey has been as gripping as their music. Their debut project Against All Odds captured the struggles of life in Mount Druitt, as did their groundbreaking Netflix documentary. Chronicling the tension between their rise and police resistance, the documentary drew comparisons to icons like NWA and Giggs. Through raw storytelling and an unapologetic approach, ONEFOUR has forged a path as Australia’s first drill rap superstars, garnering widespread acclaim while confronting systemic challenges head-on.
Now preparing to support The Kid Laroi alongside Quavo this November, ONEFOUR’s trajectory continues to soar. With coverage from GQ, NME, The Guardian, and Rolling Stone, the collective’s dynamic artistry has earned them critical and commercial recognition. “SPINNIN” stands as a bold reminder of their ambition and the global footprint they are carving in rap music. Fans should expect this to be just the beginning of an even bigger chapter for ONEFOUR.
