In this powerful episode, I sit down with the incredibly talented JK47, a proud Bundjalung and South Sea Islander man making waves in the Australian hip-hop scene. Recorded live at Yabun Festival on Gadigal Country, our yarn dives deep into JK47’s journey—his music, his roots, and his commitment to community.

From starting out as a young rapper at 14 to becoming a family man and business owner, JK47 shares the highs and lows of his career, the importance of First Nations-led festivals, and how he balances artistry with real-life responsibilities. He reflects on January 26, the meaning of the day for mob, and the power of music as a force for change.
