Album Review! Jygantix - Dangerous Goods and Services   The tone of this album is set right out of the gate. A dark, raw story of the falsehood of our monetary idols and a journey into the underworld. I like to think you can tell when an emcee produces their own work, it brings an autobiographical flavour to both the...

Album Review: Crooked White – Confessions LP Crooked White – Confessions LP   Confessions is the newest release to drop from Brisbane MC and vocalist Crooked White. The Cairns FNQ raised talent is also the front man for Schoolfight and long time hook man for Triple3. This album showcases the variously titled MC's strengths as a solo artist, effortlessly flowing...

Album Review: Helen Earth – Hell Hath No Fury Queensland emcee Helen Earth creeps out the fiery underworld with her debut album Hell Hath No Fury, taking no prisoners and cementing herself as one of the most technical and raw female emcees in this country. The viciousness and energy that she projects is ferocious, also her ability to change up...

Album Review: Vic The Bitter – Side Affects   Vic The Bitter – Side Affects   From the west side of AUS, Vic The Bitter has blessed us with a giant release. The “Side Affects” Lp is an extremely bass heavy, full-strength, brusque example of Australian Hip-Hop in its raw but refined form. The type of release that is not...

Just take a few moments to mull over the title in your head, then apply it when listening...

F#ck This I’m Buying A Gun This film/album is monumental. Full stop. If the writer of this article attempted to foolishly describe this release in full detail, then he would be a beardly man with many a forgotten dream. FTIBAG is so layered, textured and brilliant. It is the sort of film that surreptitiously works on all of your senses...

Context - Rogue Astronaut EP Cover Boom bap. It’s a phrase used loosely in this astrological age. Context & Jimmy Flipshyt are names synonymous with the genre. Transmitting their dusty frequencies through the stratosphere for what a mere mortal may perceive as thousands of Earth days, it’s fair to say they have been making noise in Melbourne for quite...

I received the Above Average 7" last year when I performed as a support act for SheaButter's release launch on the 18th of Nov. Meeting people is a great way of determining ones character, real recognise ya'll. Rendrz and SheaButter were extremely humble, when Shea started his set I knew it was gonna be dope. His style had a little...
