DRIFT

“GEEKIN” by Nemzzz ft. Lil Yachty (released May 8, 2026) is a short, hypnotic UK drill/trap banger that’s the lead single for Nemzzz’s upcoming project LOCKED IN. It’s a Manchester-Atlanta link-up with a skeletal, looping beat from producers Dee B and ZEL that feels minimalist and addictive—think sparse percussion, eerie synths, and space that lets the flows breathe.

Nemzzz’s parts: He carries most of the track with his signature calm, confident, almost nonchalant delivery. The chorus is catchy and repeatable (“I been ghostin’ you ’cause I’m workin’ / Like what do you really expect?”), touching on success, money obsession, respect, and brushing off distractions. His verse keeps that smooth, flex-heavy energy with clever lines like “The bag came heavy like metal” and “Heavy-handed, I gotta be gentle.” It’s classic Nemzzz—slick, street-smart, and effortless.

Lil Yachty’s feature: This is the more polarizing part. Yachty goes experimental with ad-libs, a wilder flow, and eccentric delivery (lots of “wow, wow,” playful boasts, and off-kilter bars about money, strippers, and flexing). Some love the chaotic energy and synergy; others think it feels out of place, sleepy, or like he phoned it in. It’s very “Yachty being Yachty”—high-energy and quirky but not everyone’s cup of tea on this beat.

The official video (directed by Zhamak Fullad) is high-production fun: parking lot flexing, cinematic vibes, and a fever-dream energy that matches the track’s hypnotic feel.

overall

It’s a solid, replayable single that highlights Nemzzz’s rising star power and global ambitions. The production hooks you immediately, and Nemzzz sounds right at home. At ~2:32, it doesn’t overstay its welcome. Yachty’s verse adds flavor (for better or worse depending on your taste), but the song works best when Nemzzz is in control.

Strong Nemzzz performance + infectious beat carry it. If you like UK rap’s new wave (think his tracks like “COLD”), this fits perfectly. Yachty fans will eat it up; purists might skip his part on replay. Early reactions are mixed but lean positive overall—it’s buzzing for a reason and should do numbers as a summer/party record.
