Kings Konekted - Good Blood and Handshakes | Repertoire Strong

I was very grateful to be given the opportunity to work on the lead clip for Kings Konekted, debut EP 'The Campaign'. Dontez and Culprit came to me with concept Splitting Good Blood and Handshakes and then jumping off to Culprits verse taken from 'Reportouire Strong'. All of the legwork was done from the boys from sorting out the story edits, locations, extras. Shit made my job a hell of a lot easier.
A few days work filming and a good chunk of hrs editing offline with minimal money spent on hire equipment, here's the end result. I think everyone involved is pretty damn happy with how it turned out and the purposed it's served to jump off the EP.

Copies available via Run Royal and cu through Class A Records. You miss this then you motherfucking played yourself like a fool.

Gaz Hazard - Hazardous to ya Health

RUNROYAL.COM in association with Cool Rad Skills presents
GAZ HAZARD
HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH

Men who have actually lived the reality of their lyrics are currently few and far between within the scope of Australian hip-hop. Look outside that scope for a moment and you’ll find a man who has lived the harsh realities of which he speaks, that man is Gaz Hazard.


Hailing from Brisbane’s south side Gaz Hazard was a founding member of underground rap group CRS (Cool, Rad, Skills or Cunt Rap Syndicate). CRS garnered cult-like support in the mid to late 2000’s following the release of the crew’s debut album, Gully Down Crooks. Known for their rowdiness and a “back to basics” approach the Cunt Rap Syndicate have finally reopened their doors and are preparing the first full-length release from one of their most promising MC’s, Gaz Hazard’s Hazardous To Ya Health.


Hazardous To Ya Health see’s Gaz trawling through a lifetime of memories from the opposite side of the law, a vantage point from which very few local MC’s can truly speak.  The album features the remarkable talents of fellow miscreant DJ Lopsided (750 Rebels) who not only holds down all the cuts but also provides production on six of the albums eighteen tracks. Strong features also come from fellow CRS members Pors 1 and Servo who provide five verses and nine stellar beats respectively.
The title track also marks the first single off the album. Produced by Nick1 (Verbill, Billy Bunks) “Hazardous To Ya Health” see’s Gaz reliving the harrowing experience of chronic drug addiction and the eventual overdose that almost took his life.
Gaz also found time to hook up with close mates the 750 Rebels and Hired Goons. Ken Oath, Billy Bunks, Bigfoot and Jake Biz all pop in and speak there piece while close friend and like minded associate Tornts (whom Gaz occasionally provides hype-man duties for) provides two beats and a blistering guest spot on one of the album’s many highlights, “Terrorcell”.


Hazardous To Ya Health is an amazingly honest and well constructed debut from an established MC who has seen more than most, the reality of which will never be lost on the listener. At times confronting, Gaz’s truths aren’t without levity, an album that can bounce from tales of crime and south-suburban life to cold braggadocio.
Hazardous To Ya Health is an absolute must for any self –respecting fan of that REAL raw underground rap….


Welcome to the life and crimes of Gaz Hazard.

Jake Biz / Maundz / Tornts Live - Brisbane

Fucking epic title aint it. Brisbanes biggest local show this year.

Sam Hillcoat "The Quiet Storm" Solo Exhibition

The Quiet Storm exhibition is a powerful new body of work by Brisbane tattoo and street artist, Sam Hillcoat.

The exhibition, Sam’s first solo show, features striking new works on canvas using oil, acrylics and aerosol. With several successful group shows under his belt and nonstop tattoo and canvas commissions, Sam has had to lock himself away and surrender much of this precious income to prepare his prolific new body of work.


Sam says he has adopted a fresh stylistic approach for this exhibition, “my new work is a hybrid of different styles. I like to take the raw expression of street art and the clandestine styles of modern and traditional tattoo design out of their natural environments. For the first time in years I have been able to flesh out all these ideas I have been developing, without having to meet anyone else’s expectations or specifications. I am excited to unveil this new style, which I feel is totally my own.”

In the last 10 years street art and tattooing has seen a surge in interest from the public and broader art world. While Sam has benefited professionally from this trend, this exhibition sees him moving away from the machine and spray can, and transforming his love of urban cultures into a fine art. Much of Sam’s new work is reminiscent of traditional Japanese art and tattoo (irezumi) with bold, colourful graffiti aesthetics. His duel occupations as a tattoo and aerosol artist have led him to developing this unique crossover style that is hugely appealing to fans of tattoo, street and contemporary fine art.

The Quiet Storm exhibition offers the pleasures of permanent ink, without the pain, the vibrancy of street art, without the legalities. It is an exhibition of exceptional artistry from a young, highly sought after tattoo and street artist with fresh, distinctive brushwork.

The Quiet Storm exhibition opens at Jugglers Art Space in Fortitude Valley on Friday 22 June from 6pm onwards, and closes on Saturday 23 June, 5pm.

It’s been many years in the brewing, now finally Brisbane underground hip hop legend Jake Biz’s debut album Commercial Hell is ready for the tasting. Riding off the back of his highly successful debut single, “Deuce Deuce”, Commercial Hell is set for national release on Karsniogenics through Obese Records Distribution on May 18, 2012.

Commercial Hell was produced by Jake Biz’s long time friend and fellow 750 Rebel Overproof Pete –aka Brookes Cullings and features valuable contributions by crew members and old mates including the legendary Lazy Grey, DJ Lopsided, Bigfoot, Tornts, Ken Oath and Fluent Form.

Commercial Hell is a self-­‐assured rap album without pretense, born out of a love and knowledge of the rap classics of years gone by and the south side working class suburbs of Brisbane. It is the antithesis of every record attempting to cross into the mainstream and whilst it may appear quite a confrontational album upon first listen, it plays out as more a tongue (firmly planted) in cheek observation of Australia’s hip hop scene in its current state.

“The title track itself addresses the “Australian Idol” mentality of many local rappers who search for fame and acclaim without investing time and genuine passion into their craft,” explains Jake Biz. “It also blatantly hints at the role commercial radio has been playing in pushing these stereotypical “paint by numbers” MC’s while completely ignoring far more deserving veteran underground artists.” The production techniques of Overproof Pete seamlessly blend with the Biz’s vocal style in a combination born of many years shared experiences.

“Having known Peter for so long, growing up together and entering the rap game together, no one else could’ve provided and crafted the sonic landscape for my raps,” says Biz. “Having Proof produce the entire record was a no brainer. We both share similar views on life and the same general goal and vision for street level rap music coming out of this country.” Jake Biz is rightfully proud of his debut long player and the blood, sweat and biff that have gone into molding every aspect of the final work. “Weeks of deliberation went into the eventual track listing while three and half years were spent in the studio attempting to hone both sound and substance,” Biz concludes.

“This is an ALBUM not a collection of tracks. We've attempted to craft something classic in the tradition of those albums that came before it and those albums that’ll be considered timeless ten years from now.”

Euro Trash

Europe’s most notorious train crew, Monsters Of Art, celebrates 20 years of train havoc. It is with great pleasure that we honor their anniversary with a monster edition of ON THE RUN. Join us for a rare and privileged glimpse into the unruly world of MOAS. With over 200 pages that detail MOAS’s history and unique crew concept, along with classic tales from the train yard, including great escapes, writer beef, legendary busts, extreme graffiti feats, trains, trains and more trains. This is a must-have for all diehard fans of train graffiti.

MOAS blasted onto the Copenhagen scene in 1991. Once they had Denmark locked down, MOAS expanded through a series of high profile, international affiliations to become omnipresent in Denmark, Europe and now the world. Their infamous working methods have become the standard for those daring to compete. Many have attempted, but most fail. For those willing to try, be warned, they are ruthless inside and outside the yard, so proceed with caution.

MOAS—20 years on the run and still going strong. Don’t listen to the rumors; get the story direct from the source.
