Soraya Nomura from Kyoto, Japan –
Navigating the intersection of youth culture and societal pressures, YOUNG POSSE’s “Growing Pain pt.1 : FREE” reflects a melodic tug-of-war between identity formation and external expectations. It showcases their trademark humor interwoven with sharp lyrics that resonate with listeners straddling life’s complexities. The playful beats amplify their introspective themes—what does it mean to ‘be free’ in an often rigid world? This EP encourages exploration, laced not only with charm but also candid self-reflection, inviting us on this chaotic yet exhilarating journey towards finding one’s voice amidst overwhelming choices.
Sofie Jansen from Bovenkarspel, Nederland –
Tja, toen ik de nieuwe EP ‘Growing Pain pt.1: FREE’ van YOUNG POSSE hoorde, was ik aanvankelijk wat sceptisch. Hip-hop is een genre dat snel verzadigd lijkt en thema’s van identiteit zijn vaak cliché geworden. Maar vanaf het eerste nummer voelde ik de oprechte energie en speelsheid die deze groep met hun muziek meebrengt. Hun ervaring over groeipijnen resoneert echt, vooral voor iemand als ik die vanuit een klein dorpje in Nederland komt waar iedereen denkt te weten wie je bent voordat je jezelf gevonden hebt. De invloeden van verschillende culturele achtergronden verrijken hun geluid enorm! Het sluit prachtig aan bij mijn eigen zoektocht naar authenticiteit tussen traditie en moderne wereldse drukte.
Marco from Berlin, Germany –
Been playing it non-stop since I got it. Fresh sounds, deep lyrics. YOUNG POSSE really nailed this one.
