About this artist
New York rap duo G4 Boyz consists of Ice Baby and Buggy, two brothers of Nigerian and Ghanaian descent from Staten Island. Together, they’ve developed a flashy, energetic blend of trap and gangsta rap, with lyrical topics regularly focusing on money, sex, and violence. The duo have collaborated with many well-known rap artists, including Lil Wayne, Migos, and Waka Flocka Flame, and have issued several mixtapes, including 2017′s The African Plug.
Ice Baby and Buggy began rapping as teenagers, influenced by the likes of G-Unit, Gucci Mane, Jeezy, and others. They began making an impact during the early 2010s; Waka Flocka Flame guested on their 2010 track “Test Our Diamonds,” and Lil Wayne featured on “I Do Me” the following year. Mixtape Banksy appeared in 2013, followed by 2014′s Ballin wit No Deal 2, which featured an appearance by Migos on “Bricks (Remix).” Control Your Jealousy was released in 2015, including “Alexander Wang” (with OG Maco). Following 2017 mixtape The African Plug, G4 Boyz released the single “Patek Philippe,” which became the duo’s biggest hit to date, particularly after a remix featuring Tory Lanez was released in 2018. Subsequent singles included “Swipe It Up” and “More Ice.” ~ Paul Simpson
