Nigerian superstar disk jockey and record producer DJ Neptune, born Imohiosen Patrick, has unveiled his fourth instalment in the acclaimed Greatness series, Greatness IV. The 14-track LP follows the chart-dominating success of Greatness III, raising the stakes with a bold fusion of contemporary Afrobeats, global sounds, and unfiltered African narratives. As a tastemaker who’s shaped hits for artists like Mr Eazi and Joeboy, Neptune positions Greatness IV as a declaration of African music’s global leadership, blending party starter records with soul-stirring reflections to inspire dance, introspection, and cultural pride.
Greatness IV pulses with Neptune’s flair, polished beats laced with amapiano grooves, highlife echoes, and trap edges, crafted alongside collaborators Timbun, Ugly & Though, NYRP, and Neptune himself. The album spans moods from euphoric turn-ups to late-night meditations, weaving in spirituality on tracks like Amin and raw street anthems like Taliban. It’s a sonic tapestry that captures the heartbeat of African life: the hustle, celebrations, and unyielding spirit, designed to resonate across continents while staying rooted in authenticity.
True to DJ Neptune’s ethos of amplifying fresh talent, Greatness IV boasts a diverse ensemble of voices that infuse the project with youthful energy and cross-generational vibes. He teams up with Moelogo on the inviting Come With Me, a melodic call to let loose, while Gbolar Mighty brings gritty realism to the streetwise Street. Lyrxx adds secretive romance on No Kiss and Tell, and Berri Tiga delivers heartfelt yearning in My Girl. Other standouts include Kikimoteleba, LAZ, Dera, Timi Martins, SHON, Hotkeed, Swayvee, Reehaa, and Kabusa Choir. Portable is found with his unapologetic flair on the track, Jeje Laye. Rybeena, Guchi, and more round out the lineup, creating a collaborative mosaic that bridges emerging acts with DJ Neptune’s veteran curation, ensuring every track feels like a cultural conversation.
