ANECDOTE
no matter what the haters say, this dude is fuckin raw, hes probably australia's best battler and freestyler, he keeps so much shit goin off the top of the dome its crazy, hes really showing that aussies can rip it up in battling, especially when him and sixty dominated the JUMP OFF WRC last year. i kno most wouldnt agree with me here, but hes an even better battler then justice and i can only imagine how well he would go in a scribble jam...dudes raw as fuck, CHECK HIS BATTLES OUT!

comon...lets get this goin ay?
Yeah I was about to mention 360, I heard one of his tracks on Triple J's hip hop show, it was so dope, It was about how Australia was a beautiful place to live... Oh man... It was so dope... He got an album Grifta?
I might peep a bit of this stuff, I know little of the Australian hip hop scene, besides what I see in stores and on Triple J. But I find Miya Jupiter speaks a bit fast :P. Has anyone got any mainly Aussie record labels that are on the underground, I know one or two but not of the top of my head if you guys know where I could get the hook up at with some lower level but good quality labels it would be great...

yea, 360's just recently released his album, and its definately a good one
'What You See Is What You Get'
it can be purchased on his myspace, the links up in my previous post bout em, cop it, its fuckin sick and support him
he also has a free mixtape 'What You Get Is What You Buy' which is also on his myspace, has some good shit on there too
and forthwrite recently released there mixtape which is only $5! so yea cop that as well, great shit
I wonder how one would go about starting there own record label? Like one of the sound click based ones...
Hehe! Good news, I hacve decided to take Music Creation as my first cert at QUT, I will be attending at south bank campus at the end of next year, and hopefully starting off my three year course, I'm taking I.T aswell. I think this what I got to aim for, but I gotta start getting money hard for basic living... HEX FEE'S FUCK THE WORLD!!!
Back on topic any one peep the new Herd album, its tight. I like Zug Zug and Pearl, such good tracks...

If you see this, buy it! its fire. True Aussie hip hop... If you tell me you never heard of the The Herd I will be pissed...
Can I just say we were watching a battle on youtube and noticed some of Justice T's battles... Man hes cool, but that stupid kid gives me the shits, he reminds me of this guy ccalled greg issell who I extort on a regular basis, fuck...
