I don’t know when it became the cool
thing to do to hate on Koolism but it’s

Koolism live is an experience that rivals any
big name Aussie hip hop act and their recorded
material is some of the few in the local scene
that succeeds in capturing the intensity they
bring to their shows...

Army of The Pharaohs
The Torture Papers
Built in the posse cut tradition of Wu-Tang
and Juice crews, Army of the Pharaohs is a clique

and solid sounds of the New York hip hop 90’s...
The Future Sounds of Hip Hop

listening to the Future Sound of Hip Hop compiled
by electronic French label Wagram. Self professed
to ‘introduce the new, eclectic and alternative
hip hop scene that blends rap & electronic
music’ the compilation features everyone
from veterans RZA, Prince Po & Madvillian
to relative newcomers M.I.A, The Streets, Kano
& Dizzee Rascal to make up for a diverse
and unique combination...
