On May 1, 2015, Boateng released his first single Grown on Concrete under the name BTNG with the Warner Music Group . The name of his first song is an allusion to a marketing campaign called "3 United" by the international sporting goods manufacturer Nike , in which a wall painting can be seen on a fire wall in Berlin-Gesundbrunnen showing George and his two brothers with the big one The lettering "Grown on concrete" above their heads. His album, released in September 2015, has the same title.
