EP 6: WHO WILL BE AUSTRALIA'S FIRST INTERNATIONAL HIP-HOP SUPERSTAR‪?‬ SLAP HAPPY

Australian hip-hop is diversifying and growing at an extrememly fast pace, and I for one am incredibly excited about its trajectory. From The Kid Laroi, to OneFour, to Tkay Maidza and HP Boyz, the melting pot of cultures and the braziness of these acts to portray authenticity is creating an incredibly vibrant setting for the next golden era of Australian hip-hop.

After a few chats with a few people over the weekend, and whilst also observing the growing movements in our scene, I've decided to throw in my thoughts about who I previously thought would be an international superstar and who I believe will lead us into the future.
