NSG and The Compozers Reimagine “Tesco” in Stunning Live Rendition
Tesco is a song from NSG’s latest project, The Big 6, and features iconic four-piece afrobeats live band, The Compozers. On the recorded track, “Tesco” already stood out as one of the most playful and quotable songs—especially for West Londoners. The mention of “Acton like Tesco” hits different if you know, and it’s exactly that hyper-specific charm that NSG nail so well: the ability to bring street-level lingo and real-life references into global-sounding music.
In this new live rendition, filmed in a stripped-back, atmospheric setting, the energy shifts from turn-up to timeless. The Compozers breathe new life into the track with rich instrumentation, layering live drums, guitar riffs, and keys over the original beat in a way that feels luxurious yet effortless. There’s something magical about seeing a song like this performed live—suddenly you’re not just hearing it, you’re experiencing it. The jokes land softer, the bars feel smoother, and the rhythm has more space to move.
Visually, the video is clean and moody, focusing on the vibe rather than flashy edits. NSG float over the live production with their signature bounce, and you can feel the chemistry between them and The Compozers. It’s a reminder that NSG aren’t just hitmakers—they’re performers, and they know how to bring a track to life in multiple formats.
What’s particularly striking is how well “Tesco” adapts to this more musical arrangement. The original has that trap-Afrobeats bounce, but here, it leans into a laid-back, jazzy groove—almost like a rehearsal session at a private members club. It’s smooth, it’s mature, and it proves that NSG’s sound isn’t limited to playlists and parties—it can stretch, evolve, and still slap.
If The Big 6 was made to soundtrack your summer, this version of “Tesco” feels like the afterparty wind-down with your people, cold drink in hand, just vibes. NSG and The Compozers are a natural pairing, and this live rendition shows just how versatile and culturally embedded NSG’s music really is.
