New Single Blank Available Now + Headline Tour Announced For October & November

Australian musician Dylan Joel has announced the release of his debut album Authentic Lemonade on Friday 2 October.The album is available to pre-order now.

New single Blank sees Dylan handling co-production duties, but also singing the hook and rapping his story of being in a relationship where neither party is ready to break it off, even though they both know it’s not working.

Authentic Lemonade also features the hip hop party jam Swing (feat. Mantra & DJ Izm) and the captivating first single Numbers. Widely known for his philanthropic lifestyle, Dylan used his feel-good single, What’s Good as a vehicle to launch his Pop-Up Op-Shop campaign earlier this year, raising over $10,000 for the Australian Himalayan Foundation.

With the release of Authentic Lemonade, Dylan effortlessly blends the sounds of hip-hop, gospel and soul. His passion for musical quality, combined with clever wordplay, socially aware lyrical content, forms a very unique take on hip-hop.Two years in the making, Dylan’s debut showcases his musical dexterity, taking on the role as co-producer for the record alongside ARIA award winning producer Cam Bluff (Hilltop Hoods, Illy, Allday).

Featuring an impressive list of collaborations, album guests include Australian hip-hop royalty Mantra and DJ Izm (Bliss N Eso), plus Dylan has enlisted some of the best session musicians in the business, with New York horn player/arranger Igmar Thomas (John Legend, Macy Gray, Bilal, Robert Glasper) and drummer Tim Coghill (best known for his work on Matt Corby’s smash hit Brother).

This week, Dylan has also announced the Authentic Lemonade Album Launch Headline Tour in October.Gifted with an effortless ability to jump from double-time raps to spoken word through to vocal harmonies, Dylan also incorporates an impressive list of instrumental skills into his work and live performances.

Dylan’s unique combination of musical abilities have seen the talented wordsmith crossing the country, supporting international acts Pharoahe Monch and Hopsin, as well as iconic Australian Hip-Hop stars Bliss n Eso and Illy on their national tours.
