ONEFOUR ft: Nemzzz - SPINNIN (Official Video)

One of the most infamous and influential drill collectives in Australia right now, ONEFOUR, follow up their recent collaboration featuring UK rapper Headie One with a powerful new single titled “SPINNIN”—tapping another of the UK’s hottest lyricists in the game right now, Nemzzz. For this release, ONEFOUR are featured on New Music Daily on Apple Music.

Staying true to their dedication and artistic integrity, ONEFOUR continue to rise up as Australia’s hottest export with poignant new single “SPINNIN”. Layered with trademark woozy bass kicks and atmospheric piano notes, the thought-provoking soundtrack provides the perfect foundation for ONEFOUR to lay down their effortless bars with typical finesse. Joining them on the beat is Manchester-based rap prodigy Nemzzz who serves up his trademark flow, innately touching on recent relationships and personal achievements. From the streets of Mount Druitt to Manchester, both artists display authority as “SPINNIN” acts as a timely reminder of their influence at street level and determination that has marked them as their national spearheads of rap music.

“SPINNIN” comes hot on the heels of ONEFOUR’s monumental “GANG TIES” collaboration with North London drill pioneer Headie One—alongside recent singles such as “NATURAL HABITAT” (watch) and “PROVE EM WRONG” (watch)—as well as an APRA award for Most Performed Hip-Hop Work for their Gold single “COMMAS” ft. CG (watch) and their headline national tour, playing to sold-out venues across Australia and New Zealand for the very first time.

Pioneers in elevating Australia’s underground scene onto the global stage, the collective—comprised of J Emz, Spenny, Celly and Lekks—has racked up well over 300M+ streams on Spotify alone. With breakout tracks like “The Message” and “Spot the Difference” establishing their deep-rooted influence and visionary conviction, ONEFOUR joined forces with US innovator A$AP Ferg across “Say It Again” and featured across Headie One’s official remix of “Ain’t It Different” alongside Stormzy and AJ Tracey.

These performances quickly became defining moments in the build-up to their highly acclaimed debut project Against All Odds, as ONEFOUR’s sound and raw storytelling paved the way to their own groundbreaking Netflix documentary. Capturing the struggle, pressure and conflict on the streets of Mount Druitt, the recordings trace the meteoric rise of Australia's first drill rap stars, defiant in the face of police's efforts to stop them at all costs in a story reminiscent of our very own Giggs or further back, iconic US rappers NWA.

With immediate critical attention across the likes of GQ, NME, THE GUARDIAN and ROLLING STONE, ONEFOUR’s fierce and polished invention not only musically but visually place them firmly as Australia’s foremost rap crew. Now supporting The Kid Laroi in November alongside Quavo, ONEFOUR’s meteoric trajectory continues to mark their names into the international blueprint this year. Get ready to hear and see a whole lot more.
