Interesting track. After a bit i will listen to it a couple of more times. I need to hear this one more than once to have an opinion. Good music though!

Nice atmospheric effect near the end and the additions of guitars especially near the end is real cool! :D
I'll give it a couple of more times to analyze the vocals.

oh the vocals... i find what he's saying to be incredibly hipocritical... but at the time i wasnt listening to his words, i was concentrating on the music too much, as it was recorded live.

I liked the guitar & music, not a big fan of the vocals though... I think the track would work well with a different rapper. Any chance you could trial a couple of different people over the instrumental or was it all recorded as one track?

In the end i wasn't a big fan of the vocals either but i think this could be great as an instumental

i played this to some hip hop producers in brisbane... (the brothers stoney in particular) and they all seem to have the same comment....
"you need to work with a better rapper"

lots of aussie hip hoppers are very particular about what an mc should sound like.. but theres an equal number i reckon of guys like your mate. i think his style is fine!

are there any serious aussie rappers? like, rap about meaningful subject matter in a vocal style that isn't taking the piss or just partytime music? this is the only thing i've heard outside of, i think, some female aussie rappers who were signed but not much better.

i have only heard some bitching about the government, taking the piss out of subcultures... etc etc... i dont really think aussie hip hop is taken very seriously actually... i might be wrong, coz its never been my scene

Have you considered trialing rappers from other countries over your instrumentals?

well bitching about the gov and having a go at cliques/subcultures is definitely a big part of underground hip-hop here but in the US, at least among us hip-hop "heads", we take it reeeeeeeeal serious, as an artform worthy of intense study and devotion ("i am hip-hop") and anyone who steps to the mic better come correct or they're embarassing themselves and "the culture"... real critical people

i understand... its really not the same over here... i cant explain it because its not my scene... however i work at a bar that promotes it a lot, so i watch the gigs... i watch the people... i observe the culture... and it seems like anybody can grab the mic and go at it without being slammed by critics... it seems to be... the funnier the better... the cruder the better... and so on...

well here as in brisbane then i guess.. i dont know what its like in perth...
one think i do know tho is that hip hoppers bring trouble... every hip hop night we have, the walls get tagged, fights break out between crowd and staff... and they all storm off like "fuck you" when we are the ones providing it for them in the first place... but they'll be sure to turn up the following week.

there's a good deal of comedy rap here too but even that demands a level of skill from the lyricist because there're literally so many rappers out there that if you can't make them laugh within a few seconds they cut your mic off/stop listening to your demo
lots of people rhyme for the love of it and not for contracts.. myself included.. the attitude is "anyone can do it" but on record or at shows we don't want to listen to anything that isn't top notch lyrically and production-wise
