The Streets Share Official Video For New Single ‘I Wish You Loved You As Much As You Love Him’ feat. Donae’o & Greentea Peng

Taken From The Mixtape ‘None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive’
Featuring Idles, Hak Baker, Ms Banks + Many More Out 10th July On Island Records

Mike Skinner has shared the official video to his new single ‘I Wish You Loved You As Much As You Love Him ft. Donae’o & Greentea Peng‘ – the second track from his forthcoming mixtape None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive. Made entirely by Mike himself, the video is a multi-faceted visual shot with an unmistakably British backdrop, featuring the two artists with whom he wrote the single.

He says, “This video took me 6 weeks to make! I learned a new skill on this lockdown”. Previously talking about the track, which premiered as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1, Mike explained, “This is a summer club song. Knowing that Donae’o is the king of UK Funky music – match made in heaven.  Greentea Peng was the perfect foil for this, her melodies are unique and she’s wicked“.  

The original plan had been to release a TONGA album (the balloon filled rap, grime and dubstep party by Mike and Murkage Dave, which had been a series of shoobs to remember). Copenhagen to Manchester to Berlin. Brum to Brixton. Usually arriving with a coterie of legendary UK figureheads and gobby upcomers in tow, like Kano, Giggs, Jammer or Jaykae, the pulsating essence of the nights needed to be immortalised.  But as night moved to day, and day moved along to night, it… just didn’t happen. Instead, a new mixtape None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive steps up to take its place.

Recorded between work on the accompanying film to The Streets new album, it is the unpredictable sonic continuation of those parties. Taking in UK Funky and twilight zone UK rap, and with guest spots ranging from Grammy nominated psychedelia sovereign Tame Impala to cult south London rapper Jesse James Solomon, as well as 2019’s key-fiend-friendly drum’n’bass collab with Chris Lorenzo, None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive is the most eclectic and highly collaborative collection of songs from The Streets yet. Or as Mike puts it with characteristic distinction: “it’s really just a rap duets album.”

The inclusion of, say, Mercury Prize nominated punk group IDLES (who perform what Mike describes as a sea-shanty tinged track inspired by an overnight ferry to Dover) and teenage wünderkind Jimothy Lacoste help ground things firmly in the here and now. But there are familiar faces of the past too. Birmingham legend, Dapz On The Map, pops up on merky rap track ‘Phone Is Always In My Hand‘. While Rob Harvey, previously of The Music and Skinner collaboration The D.O.T, tunes into pensive penultimate track ‘Conspiracy Theory Freestyle’.

Full track listing and featured artists detailed below: 
1. Call My Phone Thinking I’m Doing Nothing Better (ft. Tame Impala)
2. None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive (ft. IDLES)
3. I Wish You Loved You As Much As You Love Him (ft. Donae’o and Greentea Peng)

Lisi, NME and more to launch “Street University LIVE!”

The Ted Noffs Foundation’s Street Universities are excited to announce the official launch of ‘Street University LIVE’, an online platform linking young artists to professionals in a collaborative, virtual setting.

Since COVID-19 restrictions, face-to-face engagement with young people has been significantly reduced. Adjusting to the restrictions while continuing to provide vital youth services, The Ted Noffs Foundation has been developing an online space to provide a safe, inclusive, youth-inspired environment for young people.

Street University LIVE is jam-packed with music programs, graffiti workshops and its very own radio station which is beaming out across the globe. lisi At the same time, we are ensuring that therapeutic and counselling services are also accessible. The platform is being used to provide clinical services provided via LIVE chat, messaging and video conferencing.

Some of this would come as no surprise to those who know the history of the Ted Noffs Foundation. Ted Noffs himself co-founded LifeLine over half a century ago as a way to connect remotely with those needing counselling. The Street University is a program co-founded by Ted’s grandson Matt Noffs and was launched by Chuck D of Public Enemy just over a decade ago.

There are now 8 Street Universities around NSW, ACT and Qld. The program is aimed at disadvantaged young people aged 12-25 and works as both a non-residential drug treatment service and also more broadly as a therapeutic space for young people.

Ted Noffs Foundation will continue to develop the new virtual community over the coming months and use it as a way to link young people with its services post-lockdown. The online launch event is open to all ages.

Street University Live – Official Launch
Sunday 21 June, 2020 | 5:00pm – 9:00pm

DyspOra drops new video for ‘Australien’

The sonic activism in DyspOra’s music is clear, “there’s no prize at the end of the Human Race.”

Much more than a hip-hop artist, Adelaide’s Gabriel Erjok Akon, a.k.a DyspOra, is forging a path for his own unique brand of ‘sonic activism’ with powerful statements on what it means to be a minority in Australia today.

“When I succeed I am Australian, but when I fail I am African.”

Gabriel Akon, DyspOra

In a new partnership with Bedroom Suck Records and Melbourne’s Music in Exile label, DyspOra’s new EP release is using music as a platform to stand up and be proud of who you are, hoping that your example will bring strength to others, and hoping that we will finally do the simple thing that we are still yet to learn – treat each other as fellow human beings, with love and with kindness.

“There’s a generation of, I call them, ‘Australiens’. They are the ones that want to be Australian, but they get treated like aliens, so they’re somehow on the fringes. They are the biggest potential this country could ever have because of what they could add to this country. All the nation has to do is invest in them. And the investment is so tiny. The investment is literally just accepting them.

I fight for the refugee’s identity. I will stand with the people who need my voice. Having been a refugee previously, I know just how hard that is and what that journey is like.

We have a very important opportunity right now, with a new generation of kids who are growing up: to either empower them to become the change in their lives and the change this country really needs, or we can go the Donald Trump way and ostracise them and see how ugly this gets.

Trust me, as someone who has been through immeasurable amounts of pain and war, the beautiful path is a lot easier to take, and all we have to do is literally embrace these kids.”

Gabriel Akon, DyspOra

DyspOra’s long-awaited debut EP, ‘Australien’ is available for stream now. A deluxe vinyl edition of DyspOra’s debut EP is available for pre-order now and includes a gatefold jacket, lyric sheet & limited edition pink vinyl. You can grab that one here.

Snoee Badman Releases his Debut Mixtape #3ALLMYTEAM & “On The Map” Video

Today Sydney drill rapper Snoee Badman shares his debut mixtape #3badman produced by Sydney-based producer Utility out now on Trackwork. This mixtape presents 7 unique, drill-inspired tracks that express stories of violence and the realities of incarceration.

Interludes blend calls to free his associates, and scenes from Dragon Ball Z on a distant TV that segway into murderous anthems. #3Badman sets a new bench-mark for Australian drill that hits different, and given the physical constraints around this project Badman & Utility prove that results that are actually interesting and new come from resourcefulness, and working with what you can. 

The first singles from this project ‘On The Map’ and ‘#3allmyteam’ were both premiered on Triple J’s ‘The Hip Hop Show’ with Hau Latukefu, gaining extensive air-play on FBi Radio.

Badman & Utility have also embarked on presenting an animated mini-series based around selected tracks to celebrate and run alongside the #3badman mixtape. In a collaboration between Trackwork, AVTV, and animator Kyan Woodpower they released the first episode #3allmyteam in early May, segwaying into today’s action packed animation premiere ‘On The Map’. Ep 2. ‘On The Map’ is a journey of joints rolled on private jets, of infra-red car chases, and drilling in audi’s through the lens of Google Street View. 

Snoee Badman has been penning rhymes for well over a decade, first dabbling in hip-hop style music to now owning his own sound of what we’ve come to call Australian drill music. Although Snoee has been incarcerated since 2011 and is due for release in November 2021, this hasn’t slowed down his process to record music and build up hype around himself in the Australian rap music scene.

Utility is a Sydney-based producer known for productions that are icy, and hard-hitting. His trademark  percussive style has been the backbone for tracks with the likes of HK x Rick, MA Rated, KDM On The Track, Lil Jaye & Eco$ystem and US artists El Plaga (LA) and DZ (Baltimore). Utility Regularly produces projects for Sydney-based freestyle channel ‘AVTV’ and in October 2019 established Trackwork, a platform to curate and put out unique, project-specific releases. Trackwork’s first release was Indigenous rapper T Breezy’s first release ‘2360’ featuring singles ‘Posted’ and ‘Origami’ gaining rotation on FBi Radio. Snoee Badman’s #3badman mixtape is the second release through this platform.

Otiuh Release New Video For ‘Pour It Up’ Follows The Release Of EP La Festa

“We wanted the music video to look how the music sounds; colourful, energetic, and not taking itself too seriously…” – Cesare

Following the release of the high energy 7-track EP La Festa, released last month, hip hop duo Otiuh share their new video clip for ‘Pour It Up’. Filmed, directed, produced and performed independently (with help from Perth videographer Dylan Guy), Otiuh are the makers of their own hip hop fantasy.

The lead single of their EP, ‘Pour It Up’ is inspired by the retrospect of a night out where you begin to question the world around you. In the verse: “Bunch of white dudes in the Ralph polo, did you even go out if you ain’t in the photo?”, solely highlights the sometimes superficial moments of partying. It’s a collective moment that’s been experienced by many; looking around on a night out and thinking “what the hell am I doing here?”.

The overall aesthetic of the video is perfectly set to track’s satirical and bouncy mood. The track is also driven by a Mediterranean style guitar riff, showcasing the duo’s widespread influences and distinct sound that separates them from other hip hop acts in Australia, of which is further explored in their EP.

Due to COVID restrictions, the pair had to work within their limitations to produce a video clip that aided the track’s narrative and vibe – and they have done just that. Filmed over the course of one weekend in Cesare Papa’s backyard, the video itself acts much like an introduction to the EP as a whole. As Cesare says: “These restrictions made us do what we do best; make familiar, ordinary locations look quirky & psychedelic. It felt like the pressure was off on this one. We were the crew as well as the performers operating strobe lights and smoke machines, so we planned it to be as easy as possible for ourselves. We let our crazy ideas run wild, kept concept loose.”

The video also acts as an interlude between the two tracks ‘Pour It Up’ and ‘Smoke Break’ (feat. MALi JO$E); the clip features a performance-focused segment, tied in with a psychedelic mechanic scene where the specific transition takes place.

‘Pour It Up’ official video is out NOW via 6KCM. Listen and stream Otiuh’s EP La Festa on all streaming platforms NOW!
