My little brother rūku dropped his debut album INSIDE VOICE recently and he sat down with me to talk about it.

From writing the opening songs to the project, to conceptualising the name and the final race to have it delivered in time for the launch show that was already booked, we cover all of his thoughts and insights about the process.

I am so proud of him and this project and everything that he is standing for and accomplishing at the moment and am so excited to see how the rest of his journey plays out.

Go check out the album below and hit him up on Instagram to learn more.

The 2023 NRL grand final will be remembered for many years to come for a whole host of reasons, mainly the legendary performance from Penrith's chief playmaker Nathan Cleary.

Also I reveal which AFL team I have chosen to support after living in Melbourne and being teamless for 3 years. The AFL grand final was an absolute spectacle that left me inspired.

On the 23rd of September at The Leadbeater Hotel in Richmond, we gathered for the launch party of rūku's debut album Inside Voice.

The show was a huge success and everything that we could've asked for, as so many different people from so many different pockets of Melbourne's music and martial arts communities descended upon the band room for a night of fun, dance and good music.

Thank you again to everyone that was involved in the show in any way possible. A special thanks to our sponsors who made it all possible.

I had a moment recently where I caught myself struggling with a set of circumstances that I was confronted with. In that moment I metaphorically grabbed myself by the collar and pulled myself to attention!

What is stoic joy? And what's the difference between stoic joy and regular joy?

I got to chat to Byron Bay raised Dos Boy about his elevation through the hip-hop ranks and his earliest memories of journey. We spoke about losing loved ones and how hard it is to quantify the feeling, as well as knowing what to do with it.

My first project in 8 years is here... and it's called 'The People's Champ'.

I wanted to get back to some of my boom bap roots on this project whilst just getting back to the essence of what I do, which is to 'just rap'.

I enjoyed this process and all the collaborators that I worked with in the process.

Check out my thoughts in this podcast, as well as the project below.

My entire life changed on a quiet Sunday recently as I worked the cafe floor at my place of employment - as Naval Ravikant says, there's nothing like a health scare to add contrast and context to our perceived problems and current issues.

This is the story of the lens as I gained on a cold concrete path in Melbourne's inner-east and the life defining realisation I had.

I got to sit down and chat about what the come-up looks like for Melbourne based rapper and songwriter Adlipzs.

We talk about putting on for his native Liberia and finding different modes of self promotion as a young and hungry independent artist.

We had a lot of fun and chopped it up as we discussed some of the highlights so far and what is next!
