Indigenous Music
Aboriginal Hip-Hop in Australia
I got an article about Aboriginal hip-hop in Australia from my Google Alerts today. The piece speaks to some of the circumstances that inform this community and shines a light on some of the folks making moves Down Under.
I found it intersting to see that the community looks a lot like its Canadian counterpart. Up here we got acts like Dead Indians, Team Rezofficial, Da Skelpa Squad, Eekwol and Manik conducting business online and logging regular hours on stages throughout the Aboriginal community. Down there, acts like Tjimba & the Yung Warriors, Konect-a-Dot, and Indigenous Intrudaz seem to be at the same level and doing similar things with respect to branding their music.
