NSG (it stands for Never Stop Growing) are all of either Ghanian and Nigerian descent and specialise in Afro-bashment, and released their first single Whine and Kotch in December 2013. NSG were soon taken under the wing of English rapper J Hus, and his producer Jae5 and scored their first chart single with Options featuring Tion Wayne in 2019. The collective also became the first ever Number 1 on the Official UK Afrobeats Chart when the Official Charts Company-compiled chart launched in July 2020.
