Perth Underground Awards 2011

Hey all, it has come to that time of the year where the Perth Underground Awards happen. I have replaced the trophy image from the weird naked dude to something a little more seriously.

Perth Underground Awards

Top Album: Various Artists - Australian Hip Hop Supports CanTeen

Various Artists - Australian Hip Hop Supports CanTeen. Not much really needs to be said about this, to get all these artists on one compilation supporting such a noble cause it is a winner. With great quality music from such a diverse group of people I have to give it the top album award.

Top Artist: Bitter Belief

Bitter Belief tops this one as he has been around the country repping for Perth. Many will forget that he had the release of his album 'Isolation' this year and it was also a serious contender for the Top Album award. He is working on new material and is releasing a mixtape for free very shortly.

Top Track: The Stoops - Free

The Stoops - Free. This track was HUGE and got quite a bit of radio play. These guys actually challenged Drapht's views for a while so have to give them props for that.

Top Group: Soma & Shroomz

Soma & Shroomz have proven themselves to be the top group in Perth. They took out the competition to support Jedi Mind Tricks and absolutely smashed it.

Top Beat Maker: Creed Birch

Creed Birch. This guy took out Beat Down 4 and has some crazy beats. He has also donated quite a bit of money towards the making of Hunter's documentary. Providing beats for a lot of local talent at a decent rate he deserves to take this one.

Check out Creed Birch on Facebook.

Top Mixtape: Down South Crew - Ill Recognise Ill

Down South Crew - Ill Recognise Ill. This mixtape featured such a wide variety of artists in Perth and deserves the award for the top mixtape.

Top DJ: Rob Shaker

Rob Shaker gets this one as he had the oppurtunity to travel around the country and DJ for Drapht. He has filled in for many local artists, always has time for people and is willing to help out.

  Latest tracks by Rob Shaker BD4 BEATS

People's Champ: Javier Diaz

Javier Diaz works harder than anybody to put on events for the Perth Hip Hop scene. Without him a lot of these things wouldn't happen so when you get the chance buy him a beer. Rico of GGP got this last year and I didn't think it was fair to double up. He still runs Mixtape at The Newport every month and has time for nearly anybody. If you see him out buy him a beer as well. Lords.

Best Video: Big Tybes - Stoner Song

Big Tybes - The Stoner Song. It isn't often that I think a parody is better than the original but this one is an exception. Tybes killed it and this simple video suits the track. The views speak for themselves.

Best Battle: Cortext VS Azmatik

Cortext VS Azmatik was the best battle I have seen in PCB. Cortext came out on top but it was damn close.

Best Support: The New Breed

The New Breed take the award for the best support in the Perth Hip Hop scene as they put in so much effort for others. This group has been around for a little while now and has improved so much over. Next year they will be one to look out for and hopefully will be releasing some really dope material.

Check out The New Breed on Facebook.

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."

It is available from JB Hi-Fi so get down and grab yourself a copy.
