The Silver Lining From Loss & What's Next with Talakai SLAP HAPPY

Sup gang - welcome to Episode 60 of Slaaap Haaapy!!
Back in the day I would regularly make the trip up to Newcastle from the Central Coast to play shows. Newcastle's hip-hop scene at the time was bubbling, with local promoters like Micks King, Geezer & The Madhouse Collective and MITUS putting on shows at really frequent interval... there was always an opportunity to jump on the mic if you were hungry enough.
At these shows I would often run into Talakai, a young MC with a rapid flow and all the braggadocio of a local superstar. Like all other MC's I saw him as competition, but we became friendly and would often support each other at these shows. I loved his beat choices, as he would often rap over some of the harder/bassier style of beats that I also really enjoyed.
After years of twists and turns with our own unique journey's through music and hip-hop playing out, we finally get a chance to sit down and properly catch up and chat about Tala's rise over the last few years, as well as some of the highs and lows that he has experienced in getting to this place. We get to touch on the meaning behind his first ever song release, some of the epic highlights of touring with Australia's hottest rap property in ChillinIT, as well as what's next for the Novocastrian ninja of rap.
