Scripted Dialects – Word Travels

February 25, 2013 Jim Steps

Three MC’s, turntables, beats, samples and guitar – Scripted Dialects are a hip-hop outfit rising from the sun-baked streets of Brisbane since 2008. The three lads embrace traditional hip hop axioms whilst also incorporating the spirit and stylistic elements evolved from growing up in the cultural basins of South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales. Years spent at the beach, barbecues, beers, skating, surfing, sitting around campfires and the feel good vibe of Australia are contrasted by the intolerance, racism, class segregation and the political parochialism that divides our country. Their debut EP, Just Pressed Record (2009), was an 8-track … Continue reading Scripted Dialects – Word Travels

Cash Krzma – Excessive & Disgusting Degrees EP

February 8, 2013 Jim Steps

Cash Krzma’s has been deemed a lyricist to watch out for in 2013. By pure chance his debut single All Fonts was selected for Obesecity 2, and Cash was promptly offered distribution for his then unfinished debut EP. Collaborating with producers Neversaidall (DVS) and Able8 (Uncomfortable Beats) Cash Krzma brings you an original sound, heavily laced with self depreciating, comical braggadocio. Expect a dose of strong, intelligent lyrics depicting life seen though the eyes of a semi – vagabond, twenty something social misfit. From Meanderings a ballad like depiction of the emcee’s journey thus far to Tumor Fists a brutal assault on commercial … Continue reading Cash Krzma – Excessive & Disgusting Degrees EP
