4am is a track from Alpha P's Welcome to the Pack project, his debut release under Penthauze Music. The project's title carries weight given Alpha P's career path — from Benin City church choir beginnings at age 12, to a 2019 Universal Music Group deal that produced his King of the Wolves EP at 17, to eventually finding what feels like a more natural home with Phyno's independent-spirited label. 4am as a title evokes the late-night, reflective hours where the most honest songwriting tends to happen.

Alpha P ft. Olamide & ThisIzLondon – WAfrican Music Library's review of the EP described it as a bold, confident and cohesive body of work showcasing Alpha P's talent and potential as a rising star — and 4am is one of the tracks that earns that description, leaning into atmosphere and vulnerability rather than the more commercially obvious choices elsewhere on the project. For an artist still only in his early twenties at the time of release, that kind of restraint shows real artistic maturity.
Rating: 7.5/10.
