Accra, Oct.28, GNA – For many aspiring musicians, rising through the ranks to become a top Ghanaian artiste can be difficult, but music trio No Nation are determined to make an impression in the music industry.
Growing up in the suburbs of Elmina in Ghana’s Central Region, the No Nation three of Zubu, Second Paa, and Badone Sticky underlined their passion and zeal to leave their mark on Ghanaian music.
Following the release of their latest single, “Hallelujah,” No Nation Gang says they are on a mission to challenge music industry norms on themes of inclusivity and fairness.
Zubu, the group’s lead singer, claims that there are limited platforms for up-and-coming musicians to showcase their skills and has impeded their growth.
“The inclusivity of upcoming musicians in the music industry is very low or nonexistent. We don’t have a say in what happens in the music coupled with the struggles of getting to the top.
“We are part of promoting the Ghanaian music culture, and I believe there has to be a fair playing field for every creative to exhibit his or her talent,” he said.
Talented rapper Second Paa also agreed with his colleague, adding that many upcomers have given up on their music craft due to the lack of support from stakeholders.
“Nowadays only a limited number of upcoming artists are able to break through the music industry, and it does not correlate to huge numbers. We are eager to pursue a career in music.
“Let’s give everybody the chance to shine, and if there are some hitches in their sound, they can be advised but not bastardised,” he said.
When asked about their new song, Badone Sticky said it was another Ghanaian drill song seeking to inspire the masses to achieve their dreams.
He was hopeful that the message the song carries would be able to impact their listeners and change their lives for the better.
The new song, which is accompanied by video, is available across various streaming platforms.
