DJ Neptune Releases New Album ‘Greatness IV’
Master curator and award-winning artist DJ Neptune has released his highly anticipated project, ‘Greatness IV,’ a body of work that is far more than just an album—it is a bold declaration that African music is not only thriving but leading and shaping the global soundscape. With this new project, Neptune solidifies his commitment to elevating African voices, rhythms, and stories to the world stage.
From the opening notes to the final beat, Greatness IV pulsates with the heartbeat of culture. It is a genuine reflection of the daily lives, struggles, celebrations, and aspirations of millions. Deeply rooted in the African identity yet crafted with a global audience in mind, Neptune doesn’t just present music; he presents culture with authenticity, care, and vision.
Every track on Greatness IV is a curated journey through different facets of African and global sound:
“Jeje Laye” featuring Portable delivers raw, unfiltered street energy—a true anthem that carries the pulse of the streets of Lagos to the wider world.
“Katampe” with Rybeena captures the humor, charm, and unique storytelling traditions essential to African music.
“Street” featuring Gbolar Mighty serves as a motivational gem rooted in everyday struggle, transforming pain into power and resilience.
“Good Mood Good Vibe” with Kikimoteleba perfectly embodies the global reach of African culture, blending French influences with African rhythms to create something truly universal.
What makes DJ Neptune’s curation so remarkable is his ability to balance authenticity with accessibility. He consistently rejects the notion of watering down culture to make it palatable for outsiders. Instead, he presents it in its truest form, trusting that its authenticity is precisely what makes it powerful.
Whether it is the Yoruba-inspired spirituality of “Amin” or the unapologetic street pride of “Taliban,” Neptune ensures that listeners experience African culture as it is truly lived, not as it is imagined by others. Greatness IV is an undeniable testament to the depth, richness, and versatile nature of African music, cementing DJ Neptune’s legacy not just as a DJ or producer, but as a vital cultural ambassador for the continent.
