G4 Boyz

G4 Boyz are the rap duo of brothers Ice Baby and Buggy, of Nigerian and Ghanaian descent, from Staten Island, New York. They told New Wave Magazine they took their name after a girl compared Ice to a G4 jet, and they run a creative collective called Gwalla Gang. Their flashy mix of trap and drill, built around money, jewellery and their African heritage, became known as scam drill.

Their breakthrough came in April 2020 with “Local Scammer”, made with UK rapper G4 Choppa, whom they signed after finding him on Instagram. Remixes followed with Chief Keef and with Ivorian Doll, and “Prada” and its remix with DreamDoll came out as Island Records releases that year. An earlier remix of “Patek Philippe” had brought in Tory Lanez.

The brothers keep close ties with Ghana’s drill scene. “Hmm” was remixed with Jay Bahd and O’Kenneth in 2021, and their 2024 album Glitch Boyz includes “Ghana Girl (Asakaa Mix)” with Jay Bahd, O’Kenneth, City Boy, Skyface SDW and Kwaku DMC. They have also released Bring 2 Forms of I.D (2023) and the S.C.A.M EP (2021), and in 2025 put out “Azul”, later remixed with Nigeria’s Mavo.
