Purpose Live On BKS

22 03 2013

Purpose, the restless yet calculated mind behind the now infamous If the City Had A Voice mixtape series, is hardly a new face in the Australian Hip-Hop scene. With the roots of a freestyle/battle rapper, he represented Adelaide successfully nationwide early on, leading him to the US with coveted spot in the Scribble Jam MC tournament at 17.

In short, Purpose was a wordsmith before he was legal. March 1st saw Purpose release his highly anticipated self-produced debut LP Where It Starts through MGM. The record, which takes an honest look into the mind of a multi-faceted young man, features singles We Will Be Heard, Alive & Comin Home. Everything Purpose has learnt along the way, and then some, will go into the Where It Starts tour. South Australia has surely produced some of the biggest names in Hip Hop and Purpose is flying the flag high for the next generation.

Maundz – Maundzilla

24 05 2012

Straight out of Melbourne city comes one of the Nation’s most talked about MC’s, Maundz, ready to unleash his highly anticipated sophomore LP titledZero upon the masses. Flying the flag high for the scenes undeniably most hyped up emerging independent force that is Crate Cartel, Maundz is joined by fellow Cartelian and beat smith extraordinaire WIK for the entirety of what is sure to be heralded as one of the country’s slickest hip hop releases to date.

Wik, having proved his skills behind the sp1200 in recent local releases, has collected an eclectic slew of head nodders for and neck snappers for Australia’s most promising up and coming MC to get funky on.

Known for spitting with effortless conviction and a love for all things vernacular orientated, Maundz has yet again delved deep into the A4 to bring his unique and charismatic presence over dirty bass lines, big breaks and dusty samples provided from Wik, all while maintaining the humour and honesty that has earned him nationwide respect.

Tracks such as March The 10th and Slang Rap form vivid storyline’s over Wik’sincomparably smooth production, while Maundzilla paints a much different picture asMaundz gets crafty on some double-time, providing a dark tale of a 100 foot high menace stomping through the city over two Godzilla inspired bangers. Not ones to shy away from topic, Wik and Maundz have shown diversity with a number of different concept tracks throughout album, and have had no qualms about going in on the battle joints which Maundz is prolifically known for.

Zero is littered with a who’s who of hip hop from Australia and abroad, featuring collaborative efforts from New Yorks number one man of the moment Action Bronson, ARIA award winning Drapht, Golden Era’s Vents and Sesta, Melbourne kings Brad Strutand Bias B, and of course Crate Cartel. The underlay for these MC’s is a bevvy of live instrumentation complemented with slick samples, the way hip hop should be done. Welcome to the world of Zero, kick off your shoes and relax your socks, Wik andMaundz are out for gusto.

“The album has had a lot of live instrumentation go into it to thicken it up to give it more character, and we treated the original samples as the foundation on which to build on. I feel I have some of the best mc’s/dj’s around on this album, plus with Geko behind the boards mixing everything, it’s a no brainer that we’ve put an abundance of thought and care into it…” Maundz

Maundz – Take It Back feat. Bias B

21 05 2012

Maundz, the outspoken rascal of Melbourne’s rap-scene; has a heart of gold, a potty mouth, and an acid tongue. His second LP Zero, is the first release of 2012 from irrefutable hip hop collective Crate Cartel. Zero is a fast approaching sun on the horizon after what has been a long winter for Maundz fans.

Featuring collaborative efforts from New York’s number one man of the moment Action Bronson, ARIA award winning Drapht, Golden Era’s Vents and Sesta, Melbourne kings Brad Strut and Bias B, and of course Crate Cartel. Revered by the likes of Hilltop Hoods and Drapht as the “next big thing”, Maundz has become highly respected by his underground and commercially established cohorts alike.

The lead single Take It Back featuring the legendary Bias B is full of nostalgic imagery and vintage beats and cuts, the track revisits cultural icons of the 80’s and 90’s. Its accompanying cameo-rich music video gained an extensive amount of exposure within weeks of its release.

Take It Back is characterized by its early 90’s inspired production –courtesy of Wik, catchy call and response chorus (prevalent of the era), and of course the nostalgic references. Throughout the tongue-in-cheek homage collage Maundz and Bias B divulge their own era-reflective stories. Take It Back proves that no matter when you grew up, the cultural impressions of your youth shape you.

“Bias B, Wik and I wanted to make a track that would take people on a little time-machine trip back to the good old days. We get on a bridging the gap type of feel with this one.” – Maundz

Maundz – Zero is available through Crate Cartel on 25th May 2012.
