Rise Against - Savior

now everybody knows that i'm a dedicated hip hop head and rarely listen to anything else (excluding a bit of folk, jazz etc for sampling and a bit of tekers fan when im out of it), but this shit has always had a home in my heart. take it easy hiphop heads and open your minds!

Skryptcha is dropping his shit!

About time!, Skyrptcha from obese records is finnaly dropping his shit. This is the first good new's i've heard all day since i've been at school doing a day long detention which will continue for another 3 days. here's the take out from allaussiehiphop blog

From one city skyline to another, Sydney emcee Skryptcha digs into hip hop’s East Coast influence for direction and tone on his much anticipated debut full length. Titled The Numbers, this fourteen track outing is an honest and personal expression of Skryptcha’s personality and love for the music wrapped up in that old boom-bap and soul sound. Like those who have made a mark in the past, The Numbers is a glorious mix of deft production work and intelligent lyricism and story telling.

Enlisting production from noted Australian beatmakers M-Phazes, Chasm, Jase and Ante Escobar alongside international input from Domingo (NY), Skryptcha brings to life the past twelve months with a blend of soul-drenched arrangements, catchy vocal harmonies, and classic beats.

Solo to Arks.

Word to mother i'm dangerous! Crazier then a fucking bag of angel dust!

ARKS ON TRIPLE J!

Thought i'd put my Bio and some reviews Up

Alex Kindynis is Arks. Since the age of twelve, he has been inspired by likes of poetry in different forms. From poets such as William Blake, Esoterkism, Suffa and many more, Arks has gained inspiration. In 2008 Arks became part of the local Prahran hip-hop duo ‘The Skriptkillers’ along with Deafs and Part-time producer Daze. In 2009 Arks released his first solo EP – “The Dead Poets EP”. A 6 track EP based on recent events in his life, with quotes and parts of the famous Robin Williams Movie “The Dead Poets Society”.

Recently Arks has been writing, recording and working on the Australian Collaboration Mix tape which will be released soon. To date, Arks has released 10 odd songs with Skriptkillers, released a 6 track EP and is currently writing and recording more material for the future. With props from artists such as 360, Coptic Soldier and Mind Over Matter, Arks has a bright and positive future set ahead for him.

Believe the hype of one Melbourne youngest artist, press play and listen to the story of Arks.

Rating: 5/5 - "i need something so much more sublime, so i turn to the world say 'damn im gonna make it mine' " With the talent and potential this youngster has expressed at just the age of 15 there are good signs that this line may one day become reality... A mix of fresh rhymes and flowing lyrics along with the head bobbing beat of Talib Kweli's 'get by' and backing female vocals make this track is a definite winner. Easily a 5 star track and an artist well worth checking out and listening too Peace. - AussieMitch

Rating: 5/5 - "Dude. You are killing it. I heard about you off my mate whos 27 and lives in Sydney. If your shit is getting around like that at 15, you have got it going on dog. I look forward to see where you are in a few years. Good luck, RS" - RadioSearch

Rate Review, do what you will but you best do it soon! Peace, The Arks Mc. Triple J Unearthed Artist Profile - 'Arks'

360's - "Do you Have a Dollar?"

After the past couple months on being hooked on 360's everyword, i've finally been talking to him about his new album "Falling and Flying", he then told me about his plans to remix Lisa Mitchell's "Coin Laundry", i asked him what the new song would be about, he replied somehow he had turned the Upbeat song into a grimy dark song about a homeless war hero. 360's new songs - "falling and flying" and "i hate you" both unmixed demo's are available to listen to on myspace. www.myspace.com/emcee360. Whilst 360's - "Do you have a Dollar?" is available to download here

360 never disapoints. Props to the Port Melbourne Boy on his new tracks. Peace, The Arks Mc.

"ARKS - I KNOW A KID"

yo, hows everybody doing today. just in english getting my 'interior monologue/Stream Of Conciousness' on. just wanted to let you all know about the devine piece of technology which currently resides in my house, the lovely 6GB RAM 27' Inch Mac with all the lovely freebies that it comes with. It's taken me a whilst to save up and pay for this bad boy, all my hardwork from the Dead poets EP, went straight towards that. Believe me, in my oppinion, tottally worth it. Last night i walked inside my house to find that my Pops had set it up for me and was on garage band with reason open next to it. Of course i thanked him, then proceeded to record a track i had written a couple days earlier. so here you go, for loyal followers (all 6 of you at the moment), and anyone else who frequently checks out this blog. "I know a Kid" - Arks. New Track part of the "Arks 2010 Mixtape". Hope you enjoy it folks, peace, The Arks Mc.

PHATCHANCE - INKSTAINS

Phatchance is one of those open minded rappers. And if you want to dig this album, you have to stay open minded and accept idea's and style's like phatchance.. listening to Phatchance, reminds me of a young Slug and Ant of Atmosphere from the states, a very different approach to life and music. Inkstains is the debut album from Sydney emcee Phatchance, it is a cohesive, emotive and extremely personal album that promises to smash open any remnants of the perception that Australian hip-hop is a genre with a shelf life. With a progressive sound riding somewhere between iconic Australian group The Hilltop Hoods and indie rockers Death Cab For Cutie, Inkstains ventures into new waters for local hip-hop music. Earnest lyrics and melancholy production thread the album together, interspersed with the same kind of high energy numbers that have pulled the genre from relative obscurity to a mainstay of the Australian live music scene. Inkstains is packed full of production from some of the best beat smiths in the country, including Adit (Horrorshow) and Akouo. California’s DJ Hoppa (Bliss N Eso – Up Jumped the Boogie) also provides production for the album, as do locals Konfuzion, Elgen & One Above. personnaly Battle scars is a track that hits close to home for me. Pick up "Phatchance's - Inkstains" Via Obese.
Take it easy hiphop heads, Peace, The Arks Mc.

SKRIPTKILLER - THE ARKS MC

Myself and Deafs have decided to go our seperate ways from Skriptkillers at the moment. Chris is in the middle of producing and promoting his new Ep "Chris B - New Begginings", whilst i am working on a 5 track demo that some boys from CityWide Krew have requested. best be hitting this up. "Arks - Dream big Mixtape" coming soon.
peace, the arks mc.

THE TONGUE IS BACK, FROM THE DEAD.

The Tongue the renowned emcee signed to Elefant tracks has yet released yet another free mixtape. After racking up an impressive list of guest collaborations (appearing with Urthboy, Katalyst and Bias B) Tongue earned himself a spot at both The Big Day Out and Good Vibrations festivals. With the goal of creating an original mixtape, The Tongue put together the brilliant Redux Mixtape. Released in June 2008 'Redux' helped solidify Tongues reputation as one of the most exciting MCs in the country, with yet another national tour getting underway. After I picked 'Redux' i knew i was officialy in love with OZ hiphop, now The Tongue has put yet another mixtape out, to capture our hearts all over again. The Tongue's "The Tongue is Dead" is of course another sick mixtape, a must if you dig, horrorshow, urthboy, ozi batla etc. The 15 track Mixtape surronds the idea of death and other shit. Check it Out, down load it here. http://www.elefanttraks.com/thetongueisdead/
hope you dig it, Peace, The Arks Mc.

INSIDE STORY - "HORRORSHOW FT SPIT SYNDICATE"

Ahh, finnaly on the blog after a extremely awesome weekend. Friday night was a bit sucky, but after having a chill session on saturday having a drink with my man Eddie Goldsmith i went and saw "Horrorshow" at 'Push Over Festival'. After hearing MetalDeath Bands screaming and gothic and Emo freaks in make up i finnally made it to the front to see Horrorshow hop on stage with there brederan Spit Syndicate, after jumping and rapping along to there every word i jumped outside to talk to the boys, Solo was absolutely buggered, and fair enough what a Dope Set!, But both Adit And Solo where up for a chat and signed me and my mate Juniors posters. As me and Junior are part of there street sqaud, we got free tickets to the next gig at the evelyn on the 19th of march, where Horrorshow will be joined by SS once more. Nick Lupi came up to me after there gig to thank me for all the support which just made the Top 3 moments of my life. 1. Suffa Mc from hilltop hoods telling me to always stick with Obese, 2. Muph telling me to always stick tight with my Boys, and 3. Meeting horrorshow and Spit Syndicate and personally thanking me for the support. Anyways, enough of me blabbing on, here's a flick of Me, Solo, and Junior after the gig. Peace, The Arks Mc

Another Golden Freebie.

Ay Bloggers,Got another email from horrorshow putting me on the doorlist for there next melbourne show, and i'm also seeing them this weekend for push over. Just wanted to express the hype about Horrorshow, they are seriously one of australia's dopest hiphop duo, and if you havn't checked them out i honestly don't know what you're doing with your time. Google them, Youtube them, go to Obese, JB-Hifi. seriously people pick up there first Album, "The Grey Space" or there new release, "Inside Story". Horrorshow's Beatmaker 'Adit' makes symbolic dope beats, with spine shivering samples for horrorshow's other half "solo" One of the greatest Emcee's coming straight out of Sydney. This is Australia's youngest, most conscious, ego-free hip hop crew, and they're building some very strong foundations"- The Brag. check it out, peace, The Arks Mc.

GOLDEN ERA

A little bit on Hilltop's New Record Label, since they left our beloved Obese Records.

To some people the golden era of Hip Hop was ’94. Ask someone a little older and they’ll tell you Hip Hop’s renaissance was back in ’88. Ask one of our revered pioneers and they’ll tell you that the golden era came and went three decades ago, before most of today’s Hip Hop heads were born. Whatever the case these so-called golden eras weren’t only defined by the music or the fashion - they were characterised by something less tangible - an atmosphere, a movement. This label wasn’t established to release throw-back records; instead we hope to make music that throws you back to the way you felt during the golden era of Hip Hop.

Whatever year that was for you.
Peace, The Arks Mc

MUPHIN AND PLUTONIC LAB

Ahh english class, learning about motifs and symbolism. Nothing Better to do but chill to m-phazes "goodbye gravity" by "muph and Plutonic" then i remembered them doing a cover of "Once in a Lifetime" by talking head on Triple J's "like a version".
So, like everything else thats awesome and worth looking at a second time, i googled it and came across the track on youtube, so here it is for you melbourne hiphop cats,
Muph & Plutonic - "Once In a Lifetime"

M-PHAZES BRINGS IT ONCE AGAIN!

fuck everyone who checks my shit, which at the moment is all 3 of you. If you dig real fucking Australian Hiphop, you must Get M-phazes good gracious, as promised i got the moment it was released and as a bonus i got a signed copy. Bloggers, Emcees, Hiphop heads, Indies and mad cunts alike you must grab this album, i promise you will not be dissapointed. Peace, The Arks Mc.

Illy - Where is my Mind

The other day i was flicking through one of my many tattered rhyme books and came across a note from illy wishing me luck whilst i was in hospital with a broken neck. So i decided to check out what the Frankston Line Melbourne rapper had been up to. I came across Illy's fantastic little compilation on triple j's "like a version. he does a mad Cover of the pixies "where is my mind" and incorporates lines from aus hiphop's finest songs that i'm sure even you minor hiphop heads know. Lines From, Bliss n eso - "the Sea is rising", Horrorshow's - "No rides Left", Pegz's - "back then", Bias B - "Hursty", Seth Sentry's - "The Waitress" and many other joints. Hope you dig it as much as i did. Peace, The Arks Mc.

Good Gracious! It's M-Phazes!

Finnaly! Our own melbourne-based producer m-phazes has released his next Album Titled: "Good Gracious". This album is the hottest shit thats dropped for me since His remix of "Day of the dog - Bliss n eso, The M-phazes remix". Enlisting an unmatched collection of Australia’s most respected MCs, this 15-track album elicits a response synonymous with its title. Featuring some of Australia’s best MCs including Muph & Plutonic, Drapht, Bliss N Eso, and Pegz alongside upcoming talent like Dialectrix, Mantra, and Spit Syndicate, Good Gracious makes his artistic statement clear; ambition armed with his signature contemporary flip on soulful boom-bap music. The album’s first single, “Goodbye Gravity (feat. Muph & Plutonic)” is making its rounds on radio and hell man its getting my head nodding for sure!Anyways, After school off to Obese Records to pick up my copy of there first release for year, and no doubt will it be one of the hottest joints to drop this year.
Peace, The Arks Mc

If you can even find this rare album, i was lucky enough to pick up a copy a year or 2 back. Hope you grab a copy. Peace - The Arks Mc

NO AUS HIPHOP ON WAX

I've heard some rumors that I'm afraid might just be fact. I went into obese a whilst back and bought Urthboy's "The Signal" on vinyl for a mate's birthday. i returned the other day to check out what new shit they might of had in store. was majorly disappointed to hear that Pegz had sold half of Obese. and the vinyl presser off to someone else, as a result I've been told that Our Good ol' Australian Skip Hop will not be pressed on the wax. DONT WORRY OBESE IS STILL ALIVE THOUGH! SO HIPHOP heads, heed warning. Withdraw your savings and hit up your local record store and buy as many LP's as you can. Because they wont be around for long. so sad. so sad.
peace. The Arks MC
