WIth the lead single and video Til Lamb Become Lion produced by Realizm setting the tone, Everyday is already back with the 7″ featuring two of his favourite joints from the album.

Everyday – Equality

29 04 2013

Everyday is an Adelaide emcee that was raised in a home where music was always being played, and with fond memories of staying up til the early hours of the morning with the entire household singing and dancing to “Saturday night jukebox”, it came naturally when he decided to start making his own music.

552904_513900962006869_1943552785_n

Picking up a set of sticks, Everyday’s first musical adventure started as a drummer and songwriter, playing along side collaborator Tomorrow in a hardcore band, where he also had his first taste of being up on stage, a taste that would grow in the years to come.

However his passion was Hip Hop and playing in a band was cool, but always seemed a little unnatural to be making a different genre of music than what was playing in his headphones. So when the band split up and went their separate ways, the live instruments were put down and the pen and pad was picked up. His like-minded best mate, Tomorrow, had the same idea and Tomorrow & Everyday were born.

Playing some local shows and sharing the stage with the likes of Reason, Briggs, Delta, Motion, Dialect & Despair and Koolta to name a few, 2012 saw Everyday’s first release with Tomorrow & EverydayOccupy All Beats EP. Everyday makes Hip Hop that not only inspires but also exemplifies a conscious awareness and action towards some heavy, and at times, overlooked issues. Close to home and not afraid to speak the truth, Everyday has arrived and is now ready to drop his debut LP Equality on Butterthief.

The Official release date for the Everyday album Equality is 30th April 2013. This solo debut features production and guest verses from the likes of K21, Realizm, Matt Rafle, Koolta, Tomorrow and upcoming producer Manic with cuts by DJ Snair.

Available through Butterthief, iTunes and select music stores the album will also coincide with a series of 7″ Vinyl releases. More news on that soon.

Taylor Made Tactix – Uninvited Guests

24 06 2012

Introducing Taylor Made Tactix (TMT), the Hip Hop 4 from the southern suburbs of Adelaide consisting of MC’s Mesha, Mnops and Senca along with veteran Australian Turntablist DJ Snair (Social Change, Cross Bred Mongrels, BattleHoggs).

TMT’s journey begins at Morphett Vale High School in 2001 where MC Mesha would frequent ciphers with Johny C and Eckles building up steam in local battles. It was in these freestyle circuits where Mnops would appear all guns blazing, eventually joining the TM team along with MC Senca (formally of Peripheral Visions). By 2006 TMT began making their presence known in the local scene delivering boom-bap rap and engaging crowds as humble, unknown mcs with an evident passion for their art.

DJ Snair on the otherhand needs no introduction… As a DMC and ITF state champion and 3 times DMC national runner up, Snair has not only dominated turntable competitions for years, but has toured and played shows extensively across Australia.  In 2007 DJ Snair saw the young TM team performing. He acquired their demo CD and soon after joined the group, at which point they began writing and recording their first official album for release on Adelaide’s Butterthief imprint.

TMTs collective nature and hard work has since resulted in a sound that is effortless and without typical identity. The music reflects a certain honest outlook and the focus is clearly on the self expression of the artists with no need for special effect. There in begins the fully formed Taylor Made Tactix crew.
