4×4 was founded in 2002 after a successful collaboration with hiplife titans Buk Bak. Since then 4X4 have dominated much of the hiplife game, with a string of hits and four highly successful albums.

In 2012, 4×4 truly went international when they joined hands with 8 other African acts including Fally Ipupa and 2Face Idibia to form the ONE8 Supergroup, which recorded the global hit single Hands across the World with international R&B superstar R Kelly.

Their latest album, Waist & Power, contains 3 of the biggest Ghanaian hits of 2011: the title song Waist & Power, Yesi Yesii and more recently Womanizer. The album displays each member’s specific style: Captain Planet raps in four different Ghanaian languages, CoDed adds his ragga/dancehall flavor, and Fresh Prince sings the R&B hooks. Powered by beats by Ghana’s finest engineers, in particular Appietus on the 3 hits mentioned above, the album also features production by Kaywa, JQ, BBryte and Playboi.
