Nemzzz is officially playing in the big leagues now. Linking up with Lil Yachty for “GEEKIN” isn’t just a massive cross-Atlantic link-up; it’s a statement that Manchester has a permanent seat at the global table.

If you’ve been following Nemzzz, you know his whole appeal is that “unbothered” energy. He doesn’t need to shout to get your attention, and “GEEKIN” leans into that perfectly. The beat is cold—minimalist, heavy on the bass, and leaves plenty of room for that conversational flow he’s mastered. It feels less like a polished “pop” attempt and more like a late-night studio session that just happened to result in a hit.

The Chemistry: Manchester meets Atlanta

A lot of US/UK collaborations feel forced, like a label-mandated email exchange. This doesn’t.

• Nemzzz stays in his lane, delivering those sharp, relatable bars about the weirdness of getting famous and staying grounded.

• Lil Yachty is the perfect wild card here. He brings that slightly off-kilter, melodic energy that he’s been honing lately, and it slides right into the pocket of the track without stepping on Nemzzz’s toes.

Why it works

It’s the kind of track that works just as well in a club as it does in your headphones on a night bus. It’s got that repetitive, hypnotic hook that’s going to live on social media for months, but there’s enough substance in the verses to keep the “rap purists” from complaining.

Nemzzz has always been good at making the “superstar” life sound like something he’s just casually doing between shifts, and “GEEKIN” keeps that streak alive. It’s polished, it’s catchy, but most importantly, it still feels like him.
