Australian Hip Hop Supports CanTeen
Hey all, today is the day that Australian Hip Hop Supports CanTeen is released. For those that don't know it is a project that Hunter from SBX was heavily involved with
"Robert Hunter AKA Hunter from SBX, had been fighting a battle with
cancer for over two years, but that didn’t stop him from releasing
numerous albums throughout that battle, proving that sometimes music
can provide a strength that you cannot get anywhere else than in being
a musician. Which brings me to the album : Robert Hunter Hip Hop
Charity for CanTeen. It seems people have taken that strength that
Hunter has shown possible in these hard times, and turned it into a
positive for other people in need, with artists such as Hilltop Hoods,
Drapht, Brad Strut, Bias B, Porsah Laine, Koolism, Downsyde & many
more all digging deep to be a part of this great creation."

Down South Crew - Ill Recognise Ill
Hey all, Ill Recognise Ill is finally around the corner and I have been given the chance to speak to Aero D and got a snippet of some of the tracks off the CD. Check out the Sampler below.
DSC (Down South Crew) have been performing across the state for 6 years, but even with a prolific work rate and solid internet following, are yet to put out an official CD as a group. Finally the duo is ready to fire a warning shot to the other states and any other would-be lyricists with "Ill Recognise Ill - The Collab Mixtape Volume 1".
We've chopped it up with the crew's Aero.D to get the word on the tape that has the biggest array of Perth MC's on a single collection, ever...
"To get straight to the point, what IS "IRI?"
Aero.D - it's a DSC collab mixtape. Your going to hear me and Cortext together on pretty much every track, but almost every track also has at least one feature. Basically we started the tape as a way to network and work with other artists in Perth, being from down south originally. But as well as that we wanted to prove to everyone, and ourselves, that we could match it with anyone in the city. It's a REAL mixtape. There's jacked beats as well as originals, and the entire thing is blended by Mr Rob Shaker. "Ill Recognise Ill' itself means acknowledging the skills of the rest of the scene, it's a real Perth thing and it was always intended on bringing everyone together aswell as a bit of friendly competition.
"So you've worked with a few people for this one, want to let us in on a few features before the tracklist goes up?"
A - theres 30 MC's, 2 DJ's, so yeah, just a couple. As far as production we've got the homie Creed Birch on a couple of bangers, MX Axis (SMA), Rights (DS Family), Sickadash (Transperth) and Leonidas playing a bit of live MPC on there. MC wise the features include Bitter Belief, Creed, Complete, Leonidas, Smiley, BYP, Soma, Aftershock, Rights & Paradox and nate Deezy from our crew DS Family and the big homie Chekid from the Sound Magnetiks fam... obviously it's only one CD, we couldn't get EVERYONE we wanted to work with on it... but it is only Volume 1.
"Where did you guys record the majority of the tape?"
A - With Chekid at his Phat Rich studio, as well as the track "Escape from the Burdcage" at Linburd's Burdcage studio. We did a whole bunch of recording at my own home studio last year as well, draft stuff that we mainly re-recorded. HUGE shoutouts to Chekid, he's off travelling the world now, but he put just as much if not more work than us into this one haha.
"Is there going to be a launch?"
A - Definately. We haven't set dates yet as we want the tracks to circulate around a bit before we do them all live, especially with so many people involved, but with so many features we've decided on doing a Northside and Southside launch so we can get everyone up, and get everyone's crews down to the shows whether their from north or south of the river.
"What's next for DSC?"
A - we're about 3 quarters of the way through writing our debut album which is entirely produced by the man Raiz. He approached us about doing an album and we were feeling his beats before we knew he was into our stuff aswell, so we jumped at the chance to work with him on an entire project. The album is going to be recorded at Dazastah's Lair with the legendary Daz, who's also going to work on all of the beats with Raiz. So I feel pretty fortunate and I know the finished product is going to be a monster, you should hear what we've got already...
"Finally, where can we get a copy of IRI?"
A - it's not QUITE out yet, keep checking out our Facebook page (Down South Crew) for updates but it will be out in the next month. It's not an official release, hence not having a release date and it won't be in stores, but you can get it from us at show's, on the street or hit us up via the DS Facebook page or either of our personal ones... No stalkers.

Creed Birch & Rob Shaker - Alive Again (Creed Birch Interview)
Hey all, for those that haven't heard Creed Birch & Rob Shaker are releasing their album "Alive Again". I have had the opportunity to conduct a short interview with Creed Birch.
Creed Birch Interview
Can you tell me about the collaborative process with Rob Shaker?
Shaker has been one of my biggest influences and mentors in producing.We both share the same passion for the music , so collaborating with him felt like everything fell into place with ease.
Hes been a familiar face on the perth scene for many years now and has taught me alot of great things.
The album is a collaborative effort with me as an mc/producer and Shaker as a D.j. It was recorded at his house and also chekid mcs. Rob did the mixing and mastering and put alot of effort into the album ,for that i am incredibly grateful.
He is a very talented man and a great friend.

What makes a good MC to you?
Tone, flow, content, inteligence, variety, HONESTY.
Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cant put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.

Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cant put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.
Who or what influences your music the most?
I listen to alot of different kinds of music which really opens my eyes to try new things, from Royce da 5'9 to Florence and the Machine, from Karnivool to Sharon jones. My favourite Australian mcs at the moment would have to be Drapht, Solo mc (Horrorshow) and ofcourse Bitter Belief, my favourite American mcs at the moment are J Cole, Blu, Black Thought, Slaughterhouse and Pharoahe Monch just to name a few. Collectivly Rob Shaker, Dazastah, Adit, M-phazes, Suffa and Trials have influenced me a great deal on the producing side of things.As for the writing process , Bitter Belief has mentored and taken me under his wing since i was 17 , he has helped me do alot of great things and is one of my closest friends. Trying new things in music is one of my favourite parts of the experience. Ive been influenced a great deal by John Barrett who is a good friend and an amazing musician, who has taught me alot about music in general. We will be doing an album together this year sometime . My friends and family are mostly what my writing is based around as they have shared so many good and not so good moments and experiences with me throughout my life.

End of 2010
Hey all, so what a fucking crazy year we have had. I won't make you all read my rant about what I did so I'll get to the point. I have gone through everything I could find and picked out some small awards, as I don't have any money (nobody can seem to find that donate button) I haven't got any prizes for anybody. The best I can do is let you stare at this half naked dude statue so here goes.
Perth Underground Awards 2010
Top Album: Chekid & Corext - Champion Music
This was a solid release that stood out with excellent promotion, a great launch and quality tunes (Dialekt came close with his album Illest Never Heard).
Top Mixtape: DT - Contagious Mixtape
This tape was absolute fire. It was hosted by DJ Symphony and was full of sick rhymes over some non hip hop beats. There were a couple of others that came close (A.Ford, JaeLan, Complete and Knoe FM) but Contagious stood out the most.
Top Artist: Dialekt
Dialekt was probably the most underrated and best performing Perth hip hop artist of this year. Not only did he release a free album "Illest Never Heard" he went over to LA and proved that Perth had what it takes to stand out in the world Hip Hop scene. Dialekt has collaborated with a few local artists this year and everybody that he has featured for would agree that he is easily one of the best.
People's Champ: Rico (Green Gross Productions)
I think if anybody in the Hip Hop community of Perth gets forgotten about it is Rico. Rico has been putting on Mixtape Tuesdays (Dopest event in Perth Hip Hop) at The Newport every month and hosting all of the battles in Perth. He is easy to get in touch with and will always give somebody a shot. If you see him out buy him a beer coz I said so!
Top Beat Maker: Ta-Ku
Enough said, I think the Beat Down 3 is all people need to see this. I'd say someone else will take this prize next year though, some damn fire beats in Perth these days.
Top Track: SHROOMZone - More More More
I don't know about you but I nearly came in my pants when I heard this joint. Can't wait for an album to come out.
If you guys can think of any more awards for next year feel free to send them through. I only based my awards on things that were posted here on Perth Underground so if you feel like you should have got the award you should have sent me stuff to put up here. BTW none of these should really be taken that seriously as I hold basically no clout when it comes to the Australian Music Industry.
Cheers,
