about
Trinidad-born, Eora-based artist Gold Fang shares his new single and video ‘Big Natty Rasta’, out now via Nina Las Vegas’ imprint NLV Records.
Produced by Naarm-based producer Swick, whose recent credits include M.I.A's MATA, ‘Big Natty Rasta’ is a free-flowing and energised number that sees Gold Fang further fasten his versatility as an artist, seamlessly adapting as the beat transforms. The track boasts a powerful arrangement between Swick and Gold Fang, one that is high in energy, unique in production, and infectious in rhyme.
Alongside a video directed by frequent collaborators The Sesh, the release of ‘Big Natty Rasta’ is an authentic addition to Fang’s expansive musical palette, with a firm nod to the experience of his Trinidadian roots. Gold Fang shares “They had this thing back in the days where even in my country, you had to have certain hairstyles or else you get sent home, or the teachers would say something about it. Big Natty Rasta is about going against the grain - people look at Rastas as rebellious, and I think it is rebellious. It's not you trying to be the clean-cut person, it's about you embracing who you are - embracing growth and authenticity. Big Natty Rasta is about eating a whole heap of pasta and causing disasters."
