A single beam of light shone from the roof, which seemed to herald his arrival. The rapper was decked out in an eagle singlet, leather pants, a thick gold chain … Continue reading Kanye West Yeezus Tour Adelaide Review

The Rugged Man join forces to crate an entirely new definition of entertainment, full of bars detailing their full throttle antics.

Stream: Profecy The Release EP

Profecy’s brand new EP, The Release, proves to be an exciting sophomore effort from the Brisbane based rapper.
