HIP-HOP PROJECTIONS 5 - Words from the west…

Another event to look forward to peeps! I'll be at the event checking out the urban hip hop, MCs, martial artists etc...scene!

Oz hip pioneers built lyrical foundations, similar to indigenous story-tellers who continually bless the nation. Pacific drums beat, as African jazz inter-weaves. Battle MCs spit rhyme while soul singers release. Martial artists meet le parkour crew, over head-nodding tracks and rhyme saying review. B-boy funk and Latin turntablism, theatrical stage overseen by sketch n projections.

For one night only – Def Wish Cast, Brothablack, Ozibatla,TrueVibe Nation and MC Trey.

Coordinated by Hip-hop artist/ ARIA nominee, MC Trey developed inspiring urban music projects that have made a real difference in the lives of young people from Western Sydney.

As part of the Sydney Writers’ Festival, join us in celebrating the launch of the Urban Music Project CD and book, ‘SUBTEXT 2’ as we highlight the achievements of our young participants in a dynamic live showcase of original urban music created @ The Switch Studios, ICE.

Performances on the night will be supported by previous participants, established MCs, singers, dancers and guest tutors including MC Trey, DJ Nick Toth, OziBatla (The Herd), Mike Champion, Darrio Phillips & the Eminent Family with visual projections by Spook.

Hosted by Earthquake.
