Nana and The Asafo Brigade

Nana and The Asafo Brigade (NATAB), the emerging Vancouver-based alternative band, is set to grace the world of revolutionary music with the release of its new EP, ‘They Hunted The Land.’ This 3-song project, slated for release on June 28, 2024, serves as a prequel to their forthcoming album, ‘There’s A Fire On The Mountain.’

Celebrated for their compelling sound and disruptive approach to music-making, the 8-person band promises to take listeners on a sonic journey that immerses them in a rich tapestry of revolutionary sounds and thought-provoking lyrics with this new project. NATAB’s music encourages listeners to be more socially conscious; this new EP is another monumental move in fulfilling its mission.

Following their debut project ‘Peace & Love,’ released in November last year, NATAB continues to push the boundaries of their art through their unique blend of alternative influences, creating a powerful and evocative medium that invites its audience to engage deeply with the themes of empathy, community and social change. Each track on ‘They Hunted The Land’ is crafted to deliver an incredible listening experience that opens the listeners’ eyes to the world around them, encouraging introspection and a heightened awareness of how they might contribute to some of the inequalities and unjust ways in their society.

The lead song of the EP, ‘Thief/Police,’ stands out as a poignant commentary on the dynamics of authority and corruption. At the same time, the other tracks, ‘Asaase Yaa’ and ‘Talking Drum’, further emphasize the band’s commitment to themes of revolution, empathy, and community building.

‘They Hunted The Land’ sets the tone for ‘There’s A Fire On The Mountain,’ ensuring that every piece of work by NATAB is connected in its message of community building and awakening dormancy. This project underscores the band’s belief that music can be a powerful tool for social change, urging listeners to recognize themselves as stakeholders in their communities and the world at large.

NATAB’s music is more than just sound—it’s a call to action. The band aspires to inspire change wherever their music reaches, continuing the legacy of those that set out on similar journeys before them.

They Hunted The Land will be available on all audio streaming platforms on 28th June 2024.

ABOUT OFFSET

Praised for his blistering flows, pummeling anthems, and theatrical showmanship, Offset is one of the most influential GRAMMY-nominated rap icons from the South. He reaffirms that status with SET IT OFF, a sophomore solo album that’s dynamic yet deeply personal. Checking in at 21 songs, it’s Offset in all his thematic and stylistic multitudes. For the critically acclaimed “JEALOUSY,” he teams up with wife Cardi B for an exercise in rap acrobatics and super-charged charisma. On the smooth Don Tolliver assisted “WORTH IT” which the duo performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Offset flexes his diversity as an artist willing to experiment. But beneath the dripped-out machismo, there’s an evolving father of five learning to reckon with the man he’s becoming. Oscillating between invincibility and vulnerability, SET IT OFF is just the latest step in a musical and personal evolution that creates both artistic gems and personal catharsis. As part of the supergroup Migos, Offset became a force in pop culture, with songs like “Bad and Boujee” and albums like Culture cementing him as a legend in the making. As he helped re-popularize the triplet rhythm and collected over 40 platinum plaques as part of the trio, Offset later cultivated a reputation as a legend in his own right. He had standout guest verses on Kodak Black’s “Zeze” and Tyga’s “Taste” going a combined 15-times Platinum. In 2019, he reinforced his solo career with Father of Four, which included the 3x platinum hit record “Clout” with Cardi B. Now, Offset is racing from the man he was to the man he’s supposed to be resolute, reflective, and relentlessly energetic. His influence transcends music into fashion from gracing runways and designing his own merch and film appearing in shows like NCIS Los Angeles and Baby Shark. To date Offset has amassed over 2 billion streams as a solo artist in the U.S. alone.
