MELBURN

Melbourne City Council are considering installing CCTV cameras in Hosier Lane in order to prevent the existing graffiti from being vandalised. Which is so ridiculous that I can’t even think of a suitable analogy.

CARBON 2012 Recap

MY CITY

Melburn Cityyyyyy!

What a dope track and this video, totally reminded me of all the awesome times i had there the last 8 years living in Melbourne City. Met GMC and his crew about 4 years ago, a good mate of mine Weezy use to manage local artists under the same label they were signed to or something like that. Anyway what i wanted to say was, these homies are all really awesome dudes and they’re funny as!

I remember at that time they were running a night called ‘Hip-Hop Comedy’ at a club where i use to work and it was fucking awesome! There was stand up comedians, live hip hop performances and Heezy was killlllling it! The alter ego of Ken Hell(X & Hell) ‘Take It Easy Heezy’, spits the funniest shhit in a full on aussie wog accent. Now thats some real funny shhit right there!
Check out Take It Easy Heezy.

FOB Crew(Fresh off the boat) is GMC, Justice, Kaos, Simon Sez and another dude. Years ago they released a track called ‘Don’t wanna be an asian’ with Big Pun’s ‘Don’t wanna be a player’ instrumentals on the background, that shhit is the joint! Found the old FOB Mixtape on their Myspace, you gots to check it!
