KRS One is still mid tour in Australia right now, selling out shows across the country with so much demand they’ve added extra shows to the tour.

Immortal Technique, Poison Pen, Akir, SouthPaw and DJ Static came, they saw, they conquered.

(vid) Immortal Technique - Aus tour drop

I love what I do. Sometimes I get to meet people I’ve respected for a long fucking time, and this was one of those moments. Immortal Technique is one of my favourite lyricists of all time.

Black Milk ft. Daru Jones - 'Losing Out' & 'Sound The Alarm'

One of Detroit’s finest rappers and one of my favourite live performances… Black Milk has an imposing stage presence and commands his live band to perfection on beat. In this show his band included Daru Jones on drums, one of the best hiphop drummers on the planet. Read more

(vid) Tha Alkaholiks - Live at the Prince of Wales

E-Swift, J-Ro & Tash form Tha Alkaholiks – a drink, smoke, party your ass off hiphop group; basically they keep partys pumping til it’s closing time.
