Play This On Your Way (PTOYW) is Q_tbg’s second multitrack project. It comes with a collection of both digital and physical products that seek to further immerse the listeners into Q’s experience and being a part Q’s journey. While details on the physical products remain obscure, details on the digital products have been released. These digital products come in the form of NFTs.
The Play This On Your Way (PTOYW) NFT collection contains 4 NFTs, one to represent each song on Q_tbg’s newest project. Powered by The Angry Panda Industries very own Angry Panda Tokens ($ANP). $ANPs are a non-fungible Polygon Network based creative funding solution created by the Angry Panda Industries using blockchain technology. These tokens are utilized by the ecosystem of creatives and traders connecting through the online hub, angrypandanft.com.
Each NFT was designed by a different artist, handpicked to deliver the visual aesthetic the artist derives from the song.
Track one, Reflex ft. Marince Omario was designed by Prince Ampofo Osei Bonsu, known on Instagram as @feoisugly. Feo is known for his very recognizable psychedelic style of drawing and painting. One half of the collective, “Two Tired”, FeoIsUgly,’s remarkable talent has earned him recognition from some incredible artists in Ghana, Nigeria, US and Europe. Some of the artists he has worked with or for include AYAT, CJ Biggerman, Zarion Uti, Wavy The Creator and Tinuke. He’s been part of the teams that designed covers for Wizkid, and Amaarae’s “Passion fruit Summers”, along with the other half of “Two Tired”, VectorbyKwesi.
Track 2, TCBU (This Could Be Us / Flex) was designed by Nana Da Chosen (@de.chosen.one.studios) head of the Chosen One studios, The God King Network and photo manipulation expert/graphic designer. Nana Da Chosen or Nana da artist, born Nana Kwasi, started the GodKing Network in September 2019 to make it easier for graphic designers to make a living off designing. He has succeeded in making a living himself off designing and strives to open up that path for other designers and for the entire graphic design industry in Ghana.
Track 3, No Time was designed by Mawuejenam Folly, known everywhere as Afronite MJ (@afronitemj). Afronite is an artist with a very unique graffiti influenced painting style. He’s known for his metaphorical pieces that relate to the realities of a young person in our current world. The perfect fit for the oxymoron of a song that No Time is. Afronite has recently moved to making one of one pieces of clothing that sport his art, showing parts of the design process on social media and exciting fans and newcomers alike.
Track 4, 02:00 (I Used To Dream) was designed by Greg Alex (@glmstudiogh), founder of GLM studio and artist at top car upgrade and detailing workshop, Stunncust Autoworks. Greg is a film maker that doubles as a vfx compositor and photographer. Being a crypro/blockchain enthusiast and a firm supporter of the Angry Panda Tokens, it’s no surprise he appears on the list of artists behind this NFT collection. Greg’s work has caught the eye of many, including the CEO of Stunncust and continues to capture the attention of vfx enthusiasts and filmmakers.
The NFTs will be auctioned in the usual Angry Panda Industries manner, via a whatsapp or Telegram auction group (Date TBA on designated socials). Proceeds from this auction will be split between the artists that designed them, Q_tbg’s Tough Love Homes project and covering production costs of the tape. Each buyer will also be listed as an executive producer for the song they buy into. This auction is scheduled to take place over a 10 day period soon to be announced.
