A$AP Rocky Debut Australian Tour – Venue and date changes

5 03 2013

Due to A$AP Rocky’s US Radio show commitments and overwhelming demand for tickets, Niche & Live Nation announce new dates and venues for the Harlem, New York MC’s debut tour of Australia. Due to an immense reaction on presale, A$AP Rocky’s Sydney and Melbourne shows are now changing dates and upsizing to the Hordern Pavillion (was Saturday 29th June at Enmore Theatre) and Festival Hall (was Friday 28th June at Palace) venues to cope with the demand – both of these shows are licensed and all ages.

Ticket holders can receive a full refund from point of purchase should this rescheduling affect them and all currently purchased tickets are valid for the new shows/venues. Please note the new onsale date for Melbourne is 9am Wednesday 6th March, whereas Brisbane, Perth and Sydney remain unchanged at 9am Thursday 28th February. Following hot on the heels of sold out tours by Kendrick Lamar, Tyga, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and the announcement of the Nas co-curated Movement Festival, Niche and Live Nation are proud to present the debut Australian tour of one of the hottest properties in Rap right now, A$AP Rocky. Released in January this year, his top #10 ARIA debut album – LongLiveA$AP – defies categorisation, standing out amongst the pack as the document of where Rap and Hip Hop culture is headed.


 
A blurry mix of lyricism, slowed down rave synths and featuring a star studded line-up of guests including Florence Welch, Santigold, Skrillex and rap contemporaries Kendrick Lamar, Drake, 2 Chainz and more, LongLiveA$AP is unavoidable in the clubs and on the street. Transcending art, fashion and music, demand for A$AP Rocky in Australia is reaching boiling point and this tour is destined to sell-out. Don’t miss A$AP Rocky when he touches down in Australia this June.

A$AP ROCKY – Debut Australian Tour

18 02 2013

Following hot on the heels of sold out tours by Kendrick Lamar, Tyga, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and the announcement of the Nas co-curated Movement Festival, Niche and Live Nation are proud to present the debut Australian tour of one of the hottest properties in Rap right now, A$AP Rocky.

asap rocky

Released in January this year, his top #10 ARIA debut album – LongLiveA$AP – defies categorisation, standing out amongst the pack as the document of where Rap and Hip Hop culture is headed. A blurry mix of lyricism, slowed down rave synths and featuring a star studded line-up of guests including Florence Welch, Santigold, Skrillex and rap contemporaries Kendrick Lamar, Drake, 2 Chainz and more, LongLiveA$AP is unavoidable in the clubs and on the street. LongLiveA$AP is adorned by production from long time collaborators including Clams Casino and Hit Boy, and features the breakthrough single Goldie which was easily one of 2012’s biggest club hits.

In 2007 the Harlem born and bred rapper, Rocky, assembled his A$AP Mob consisting of rappers, producers and music video directors (A$AP having mutliple meanings including ‘Always Strive and Prosper’, ‘Assassinating Snitches and Police’ and ‘Acronym Symbolizing Any Purpose’). In 2011 the compilation Deep Purple was released followed by Peso, his first official single which quickly gained airplay on Hot 97. He was immediately snapped up, signed by Sony and released the LiveLongA$AP mixtape to critical acclaim. This success was not just US based, with A$AP Rocky’s efforts being noticed across the pond as he was shortlisted in the BBC’s influential ‘Sound Of 2012’ poll.

Following tours with Drake and Kendrick Lamar and performing at the 2012 Pitchfork Festival, A$AP Rocky performed on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and remixed Rihanna’s Cockiness (which was also performed at the MTV Video Music Awards). Transcending art, fashion and music, demand for A$AP Rocky in Australia is reaching boiling point and this tour is destined to sell-out. Don’t miss A$AP Rocky when he touches down in Australia this June.

Jay Daniels – Sh*t Get Crazy feat. Kendrick Lamar

8 02 2013

In attempt to further develop his sound and fanbase, Sydney-sider Jay Daniels has worked incredibly hard on the free-release album Pay Attention, which has truly raised the bar for newcomers on the Sydney music scene.

Jay Daniels Kendrick Lamar

3 promo-singles Call It What You Want, King Of The Castle & Man In The Mirror have been released along with an official video for the opening track from the effort Does It Really Matter – Directed by Brett Reid, which Jay says does not resemble the overall sound of the album, more-so offers an insight into his train of thought going into the recording process.

The albums track listing boasts features from local friends Christian Joseph, Kid Mac & Leegit along with international guest vocals from Canada’s young rising-star Alex Lacasse, RNB singer and writer Maskerade and Massachusetts-born spitter J-Scriptz.

Jay Daniels is likely best known for his collaboration with Hip-Hop Legend Royce Da 5’9” on the very successful Long Way Home record, produced by UK beat-maker Charlie Hilton. The song was featured on all the biggest hip-hop blogs across the internet. At the time, this would serve as the first official release from his  project The Drop-In. The track also later featured in Drum Media Magazine, as a part of their unsigned hype compilation disc (“Hits From The Song Vol. 1″).

Jay Daniels has just released a brand new track featuring one of 2012′s biggest hip hop artists, the one and only Kendrick Lamar. The track titled Sh*t Get Crazy features Kendrick on the hook, no verse sadly. You can pick up Sh*t Get Crazy, for free download below. You can also grab Jay Daniels latest mixtape Pay Attention here.

Kendrick Lamar Australian Tour 2012

12 11 2012

With tickets for Kendrick Lamar’s first Australian tour selling out in a matter of hours in Sydney and Melbourne, Niche is thrilled to announce Lamar will now appear in larger venues to meet demand for this incredible artist. All tickets purchased for any show will remain valid in that city.

Kendrick Lamar (born June 17, 1987), is from Compton, California and is currently signed to Top Dawg, (Dr Dre’s) Aftermath and Interscope/Universal. A member of hip hop supergroup Black Hippy, along with fellow West Coast rappers and label mates Jay Rock, Schoolboy Q and Ab-Soul, Lamar first gained major attention after the release of his fourth mixtape, Overly Dedicated in 2010. The following year he released his first independent album Section 80 to critical acclaim. Released exclusively through iTunes, it was instantly ranked as one of the top digital hip hop releases of the year.

Across his career Lamar has amassed a large following and has already worked with Dr. Dre, Game, Drake, Rick Ross, Talib Kweli, Busta Rhymes, E-40, Warren G, Bun B, Tech N9ne, Lil Wayne and Lady Gaga among many other artists. His major label debut studio album good kid, m.A.A.d city, is out now.

The album has spawned the crossover hits The Recipe and Swimming Pools (Drank), which have further propelled his status as a supreme MC who crosses over to previously disparate fan bases. Before the release of ‘good Kid…’ Lamar also dropped the Just Blaze produced Compton and the Hit Boy produced ‘Backseat Freestyle,’ showing even more diversity to his output.

Niche Productions is thrilled to announce the debut Australian tour of this phenomenal artist Kendrick Lamar. Do not sleep on these shows!

Kendrick Lamar – First Australian Tour

21 10 2012

Ushering in a new era of lyrical excellence, Kendrick Lamar is the genius MC who, on the eve of releasing his major label debut, announces his first Australian tour presented by Niche Productions.

Kendrick Lamar (born June 17, 1987), is from Compton, California and is currently signed to Top Dawg, (Dr Dre’s) Aftermath and Interscope/Universal.

His major label debut studio album good kid, m.A.A.d city, is set to be released in Australia on October 26, 2012. 

“Kendrick is one of, if not, the best rapper out right now. I haven’t felt this excited about a hip-hop release since Wu Tang released their debut album in 1993. Either get to know Kendrick now, or get left behind” – M Phazes

The album has spawned the crossover hits The Recipe and Swimming Pools (Drank), which have further propelled his status as a supreme MC who crosses over topreviously disparate fan bases. Before the release of good Kid… Lamar also dropped the Just Blaze produced Compton and the Hit Boy produced Backseat Freestyle, showing even more diversity to his output.
