Rarely is there such a striking showcase of musical talent all gathered together in one place; and even more rarely is the message so strong. We're of course talking about Growing Pains, a Ralph Hardy-curated project which "highlights the greats among us who're ahead of their time, the ones who are doing it for the art. This compilation highlights the sounds, energies, and growing pains of those fighting to tell their story."
To celebrate three years of NANG—an events and radio platform—Ralph Hardy and co. kicked things off with the release of three tracks from the project: Manga Saint Hilare's "She's Nang", Jevon's "Dark Matter" and the intro track from Thea Gajic. The releases were then followed by a party to celebrate the milestone. The event saw the likes of A2 and PBGR take to the stage, alongside various DJs, and was to precede the release of Growing Pains. But plans were very nearly halted right before it dropped, as NANG's SoundCloud account was randomly terminated.
Thankfully, the compilation was saved, and now we have 23 eclectic tracks all in one go. Featured acts on the set include: Kojey Radical, KwolleM, Ghetts, Rocks FOE, Jammz, Etta Bond, Isaac Danquah, Fredwave and many, many more. We advise you get involved with NANG movement now.
