 The announcement, though straightforward, has left many fans nostalgic and emotional — a reminder of the mark 4x4 left on Ghana's music scene.

Who Are 4x4?

Formed in the early 2000s, 4x4 was a dynamic Ghanaian music group known for blending Hiplife, Afrobeats, and Dancehall into infectious party anthems and socially conscious hits. Originally a duo of Captain Planet and Coded (formerly known as Abortion), the group later welcomed rapper and singer Fresh Prince, forming a powerful trio.

They were known not just for their charisma and lyrical delivery, but also for championing themes of love, hustle, and lifestyle, earning them a loyal fanbase across Africa and the diaspora.

Some of Their Biggest Hits Include:

• "World Trade Centre" – A major club anthem that dominated airwaves in the 2010s.

• "Yesi Yesi" – A vibrant track that showcased their ability to blend street vibes with commercial appeal.

• "Waist & Power" – A dancefloor favorite known for its catchy hook and energetic beat.

• "Mokoni" – A celebration of success and resilience.

• "London Bridge" – A fun, metaphor-laced jam about relationships and expectations.

Though the group may be retired, their legacy lives on through these timeless tracks that still hit just as hard as they did on first listen.

What’s Next?

While a full 4x4 reunion is off the table, fans can still enjoy the individual work of Captain Planet, Coded, and Fresh Prince, each of whom continues to explore solo projects in music, media, and business.

As Captain Planet said — "We’re good as brothers." The bond remains, even if the music has evolved.
