Nemzzz continues his unstoppable run towards the release of his tape ‘Locked In’ with brand new single ‘4AM,’ arriving alongside a cinematic black and white visual shot by his long-term collaborators Don Prod.
Introspective and assured, ‘4AM’ taps into the late night focus at the heart of the ‘Locked In’ era. Stripping things back, the track puts Nemzzz’s unmistakable delivery and sharp lyricism front and center, capturing the quiet confidence and relentless work ethic that have defined his ascent. Its accompanying black and white visual brings that mood to life, with Don Prod once again behind the lens following a longstanding creative relationship with the Manchester rapper.
‘4AM’ arrives as momentum around Nemzzz continues to accelerate ahead of ‘Locked In’, set for release on 4th September 2026. Recent single ‘GEEKIN’ featuring Lil Yachty is now going viral, with its standout lyric, “I’ve been ghosting you cos I’m working,” resonating with fans and taking on a life of its own. It is a line that perfectly encapsulates the mentality behind ‘Locked In’: shutting out the noise, staying focused and putting everything into the work.
That mentality has run through the project campaign from the beginning. Following ‘GEEKIN’ featuring Lil Yachty, ‘Locked In Freestyle’, ‘KILLIN EM’ and ‘Prince Of The Scene’, ‘4AM’ offers another side of the forthcoming tape, with each release continuing to build out the world of ‘Locked In’ while demonstrating Nemzzz’s range and increasingly refined sense of self.
Now just weeks away, ‘Locked In’ represents Nemzzz’s most cohesive and focused body of work to date. More than simply a mixtape, the project captures the mindset of an artist entering a defining stage of his career. Focused, disciplined and constantly evolving, Nemzzz has spent the past few years building one of the most significant global audiences in British rap while maintaining the understated approach that first set him apart.
