OMAR MUSA IS GOING TO DIE

Omar Musa is a Bornean-Australian author, visual artist and poet from Queanbeyan. He has released four poetry books (including Killernova), four hip-hop records, and received a standing ovation at TEDx Sydney at the Sydney Opera House. He's also unafraid to interrogate themes of violence, grief, masculinity and death through his art - though sometimes struggles with the responsibility of being the storyteller.

Omar's beautiful new album, The Fullness, tackles the subjects of friendship and loss with the open-hearted bravery and vulnerability Omar personifies so well.

TW: Violence, murder.
