JAE5 ft: NSG - Normally (Single)

Following his recent collaborative ‘Loveless’ EP with rising Nigerian sensation LojayJAE5 is back with another summer banger in the form of ‘Normally’ with rap collective NSG.

Listen HERE. Upon first listen the track is an instant hit with NSG’s recognisable flow and JAE5’s signature production style. The studio chemistry is evident considering their prior link up resulted in NSG’s biggest charting hit in the form of ‘Options’ ft. Tion Wayne. The collective also became the first ever Number 1 on the Official UK Afrobeats Chart. Consisting of six members, NSG released their debut album ‘AREA BOYZ’in October 2023 peaking in the Top 40. Hinting towards a new sonic, JAE5 reflects on how the track came into existence.

“Normally came to me at a time where I was feeling experimental. I wanted to challenge myself in creating a new sound. But I also want the sound to exist alongside a community - this isn’t just a one-off!” speaksJAE5.

"Normally working with Jae5 means we got another banger" NSG
