From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neko Bennett[3] (born November 5, 2003), known professionally as 4Batz, is an American R&B singer.[4] He is best known for his 2023 single "Act II: Date @ 8", one of his various songs that went viral on TikTok, which spawned a remix featuring Canadian rapper Drake. Bennett's style has been described as gentle and atmospheric, and is known for its stark-contrast from the song's accompanying music videos, which typically show drill-esque content.[needs update] The song preceded and served as lead single for his debut mixtape, U Made Me a St4r (2024). His debut album, Still Shinin, was released on September 12, 2025.

(She Like)" was released on March 3, 2024.[13] On March 8, 2024, a remix of "Act II: Date @ 8" with Drake was released via OVO Sound, propelling the song to the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100.[14][15] On March 9, 2024, Bennett signed a recording deal with OVO Sound for the release of his debut extended play.[16]
