Rapaport ‘Patterns’ Launch

13 08 2012

Big Village Records is proud to present the official Launch for Rapaport’s Patterns mixtape, an unrelenting dose of left field grime raps, over an assortment of original and bootlegged bass beats from UK and Australia. 

This collection of tracks showcases Rapaport as a unique MC in the Australian hip hop landscape, pursuing a defiantly UK sound, while still retaining a self effacing honesty and oddball sense of humour in his lyricism.

August 17 will see Rapaport take over GoodGod Small Club with a night of banging hip-hop and sophisticated grime, with Live support from Swarmy, Julez & DJ Sizzle (from Melbourne), Tenth Dan & Grub and DJ’s Klue, Max Gosford and Juzlo. Rapaport has been a constant contributor in the Sydney music scene for a number of years, most recently as Label Manager of Big Village Records. He independently released his debut Rapaport album Laughing on the Inside in 2009 before forming Loose Change with Ellesquire and P Major in 2010 and releasing their self-titled debut album through Big Village.

Performing on the night will be the full Big Village stable, consisting of Daily Meds, Loose Change, True Vibenation, Tuka (Thundamentals), DJ Max Gosford, DJ Morgs and hosted by Jeswon.  The label was founded by the artists it represents and members of all the groups contribute their expertise to the running of the organisation.  With True Vibenation, Loose Change and Daily Meds already having released projects under the Big Village banner, 2010 will continue to see more high quality releases from the BV stable including a Big Village mixtape and debut solo albums from Tuka (Thundamentals) and Ellesquire (Loose Change).

The night will be presented by Freshly Squeezed, Newtown’s monthly dose of quality live hip hop entertainment. Now in its fourth month at the recently renovated Sandringham Hotel, the night is building a reputation as a new home for the Sydney hip hop community and has been host to a slew of exciting NSW and interstate acts and enthusiastic and diverse crowds.
