Representing Melbourne with a street swagger only Tornts can bring to the table comes Poison. This is Tornts at his venomous best over an epic new Kharnivor beat. Accompanied by a another classic filmclip executed by Heata, this is a massive ramp up for Tornts in the lead up to a new album.
Expect a new full-length LP later in 2013, which will be released thru Broken Tooth Entertainment and distributed by Obese Distribution.
The last two months have been momentous for the Adelaide MC and Producer Koolta. In July, he released the eagerly anticipated debut album The Extraordinary Average Joe (Obese Distribution), sold out his Adelaide album launch, and won over a crowd of 6000+ when opening for the Hilltop Hoods at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
In August, he was announced one of the winners of the JJJ Unearthed Parklife Competition and the MRC’s (Media Resource Centre of SA) Clip It! Initiative. And now, the beginning of September marks the release of the impressive new single, Poison. Musically, the song is incredibly catchy, with it’s double time hook, punchy drums, hard bass, crunchy synth and driving keys.
Lyrically, it’s intriguingly dark. It’s this juxtaposition that makes Poison so compelling. Poison features Soulmate Records’ (360, Pez)Prime. The MC’s guest verse shows why he is renowned as one of the finest lyricists in the country.Poison is available to the public for free download here. Credits: Produced, mixed, recorded and written by Koolta. Guest verse written by Prime.
