4batz

Born Neko Bennett on 6 August 2001 in Dallas, Texas, the singer and songwriter known as 4Batz kicked off his career in 2023 with his debut single, "Act I: Stickerz '99" and immediately garnered attention on the R&B rap scene. The success of the track paved the way for the follow-up single "Act II: Date @ 8," which was written by 4Batz, produced by Untitled Beatz and shot to number seven on the Hot R&B Songs chart. Also going to number 59 on the Billboard Hot 100—his first mainstream chart appearance—"Act II: Date @ 8," put 4Batz on the map and led to a remix by Drake. He was also co-signed by Kanye West in January 2024. With all the signs pointing in the right direction, 4Batz dropped his third single "Act III: On God? (She Like)" in March 2024 and subsequently signed a deal with Drake's laude OVO Sound label for the release of his debut EP. U Made Me A St4r saw the light in April 2024.
