Some of you know I recently visited Australia for a few weeks to help build up the Aussie hip-hop scene (big ups to the Krosswerdz crew). One of the artists I saw perform at a music festival called Blackstump goes by the rap handle of Purified. This track really stood out to me and I wanted to expose ya’ll to it. It was produced by Tony Stone. More Aussie raps to follow!

Canadian hip-hop represent! The Joe has been honing his style and I think he’s struck a chord with his new release Ut Oh. It’s a bit different than you might be used to but is certainly worth a listen. It’s for fans of abstract hip-hop. Like Listener? Check this out. If you dig what you hear, pick up the CD at the Sphere Store.
