Seth won an opening slot at a killer live gig featuring hip-hop legends LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Ice Cube and Doug E. Fresh, as well as landing the support for LL Cool J’s upcoming US tour. Seth also won a spot performance on US talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live”.

It’s been a massive year for the young South Australian emcee/producer. With 2013 shaping up to be his best yet. Purpose’s brand new album Where It Starts is set to drop in around 5 weeks, with 3 huge singles already out and crunching the airwaves, this is sure to be a massive release.

“This is something I put together for you peeps for checking out my music/sharing it/coming to shows – you are appreciated. I wanted to get in early and give you a song that will make you want to get drunk waaaaaaaaaaaaaay before the party starts haha.

No really. If you have the day off, get amongst it. Huge shout outs to the dudes who’s beats I used on the track – nothin’ but love. I wanted to do something with just Australian Hip-Hop beats this time around just because I think there’s so much quality shit being made that it made sense. Some old, some new – all crazy. It puts a different spin/vibe on the mash-up too. I dig it, hope you do too”. – Purpose

Urthboy – Naïve Bravado feat. Daniel Merriweather

31 05 2012

Teaming up with incredible Daniel Merriweather, Urthboy sidesteps peers while exhibiting his trademark sharp flow, songwriting talents and that knack for well-crafted hooks. The concept of Naïve Bravado is like a lamb with a lion’s heart; a broken down car needing a jump start. It’s not a false courage if it leads you out of the mess.

Anchored in running bass lines, ominous horns and monstrous percussive drums—all concocted by the brilliant collaborative production of Count Bounce and Hermitude. Urthboy has kept a frenetic pace since the release of the AIR award-winning, ARIA and AMP nominated Spitshine (2009); with 2011’s Future Shade album from The Herd; and bringing the house down with his rendition of Stagger Lee at Straight To You, triple j’s Nick Cave Tribute concerts.

Naïve Bravado is out now. Taken from Urthboy’s new album, out October 2012.
