G4 Boyz are a New York rap duo from Staten Island made up of brothers Ice Baby and Buggy, who are of Nigerian and Ghanaian descent. They began rapping as teenagers and appeared in XXL’s The Break series in 2011, when their early records included “Blizzard,” “Test Our Diamonds” with Waka Flocka Flame, “Michael Jackson,” and “I Do Me” with Lil Wayne. Their 2010s output mixed trap, luxury-rap imagery, and African cultural references, moving through projects such as Control Your Jealousy (2015) and The African Plug (2017), plus singles including “Toma,” “Patek Philippe,” and the 2018 remix of “Patek Philippe” featuring Tory Lanez. In 2020, G4 Boyz leaned further into UK drill and transatlantic rap with “Local Scammer” featuring G4choppa, its remix with Chief Keef, “Prada” featuring G4choppa, and a “Prada” remix with DreamDoll. They continued in that direction with the EP S.C.A.M (2021), “Hmm” remixes featuring Jay Bahd, O’Kenneth, Blaqbonez, and Bad Boy Timz, and the 2023 album Bring 2 Forms of I.D. Their 2024 album Glitch Boyz expanded their Afro-drill and Asakaa links through tracks including “Ghana Girl (Asakaa Mix)” with City Boy, Skyface SDW, and Kwaku DMC. In 2025, they released “Azul,” followed in 2026 by “Azul (UK Remix)” with NSG and “Azul (Remix)” with Mavo, which peaked at number 42 on the Billboard Afrobeats Songs chart.
