Featuring guest spots from undisputed kings Kerser, Rates, Fraksha, Tornts, Dialectrix and Rinse (Bingethinkers), with production by Nebs, the album burns its way across your ears the same way the intense orange of the 6 panel digipack sizzles across your retina.

But in dark places people shine. Blazing up from the underground thanks to a potent mix of talent, determination and the guts to try something new, Kerser is the name on everyone’s … Continue reading Kerser – Nebulizer Tour 2012

Kerser – The Nebulizer (Out Now)

It’s a place you turn your back on, a blight – a cancer on the otherwise smooth arse of the Emerald City. But while Sydney’s hip hop spotlight has been on the inner-city acts making a name … Continue reading Kerser – The Nebulizer (Out Now)
