The Get Down.

This week on The Get Down we are joined by Australian Hip-Hop legend and forefather, Sereck from the almighty Def Wish Cast. Sereck has an amazing career spanning over 30 years and is amongst the highest respected artists in the country. We talk about his humble beginnings and how he found Hip-Hop and then discuss Def Wish Cast's formation, Celcius and get all awkward with that rediculous Top-5 dead or alive question...
I have been a fan of Sereck's work for a LONG time and it was an absolute honour to chat with the man himself...
Thanks Paul.
I appreciate you!
Enjoy, Beats...

This week on The Get Down, Beats sits down and gets deep with author and motivational speaker, Ritchie Gibson. Ritchie talks about his time in the Australian Army, his life as a motivational speaker, his books he has written and his experiences using Ayahuasca as a key to unlock thoughts. Ritchie is passionate and true in his speech, he is infectious and appears to have found the key to happiness. I look forward to learning more from Ritchie during this journey we call LIFE!

Thanks for your time Ritchie, I appreciate you!

Enjoy, Beats

This week on The Get Down, Beats splashed out and hired a professional studio to have a crazy yarn with local Sunny Coast rapper MC WHEELS aka Nathan. Nathan is a skilled MC and has an extremely unique story only he can tell. Filled with optimism, gratitude, courage and love, Nathan's music is a refreshing sound in the Australian Hip-Hop arena. Being bound to his wheelchair, but certainly not defined  by it, Nathan proves that with a good attitude and perseverance, chasing your dreams is not only something you should do, but can achieve!
I really enjoyed this chat and look forward to getting to know Nathan better and enjoy the prospect of becoming his friend and creating some music together.

Thanks Nathan.
I appreciate you homie.
Enjoy, Beats..

This week on The Get Down Beats chops it up with the one and only Mark Pollard. For those not in the know, Mark was the founder and heartbeat of the infamous Australian Hip-Hop magazine "Stealth"  Stealth magazine was such an integral pert of the scene back then that it was not unlike a record dropping. By that I mean, the anticipation of the release was huge, the professionalism and the quality of content was all high quality and there was a sense of pride when it came to owning a copy. 15 years since its last publication, Mark talks to us about the days of the magazine's hay days, walking us through to what he is up to today. His book, his podcast and his life in America. We discuss the possibility of a 25 year anniversary issue and Mark even flips some questions back onto me! You can take the cat out of the jungle......

This was an extremely fun episode and I am very glad we connected.
Thank you for your time Mark.
I appreciate it!
Enjoy! Beats.

This week on The Get Down we swing back into the Hip-Hop side of things annd chat with Adelaide legend Kultar Ahluwalia fka Koolta. Kultar has been doing his thing brilliantly for over two decades now and in my opinion has flown under the radar for a lot of that time. Kultar is a humble and down to earth human with a heart of gold. I challenge anyone to find someone who has a bad word to say about the bloke. I really enjoyed this conversation and regret not connecting on a closer level with him back in the day. I have nothing but respect for Kultar and look forward to where his music career takes him!

Thanks Koolts. I appreciate you brother!
Enjoy!

This week on The Get Down I was lucky enough to share a few hours with notorious prison escapee turned author, John Killick. I have never had a grandfather, but speaking with John felt like how it would be if I had one. A wealth of information with a gift of story telling blended with a willingness to share, combined with a level head devoid of ego. I could have spoken to John for 8 hours and still been on the edge of my seat asking for more. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity and can not thank John enough.
Please do yourself a favour and purchase John's books, available in the links below.
Thanks John.

This week on The Get Down we follow on with the path of redemption and selfless acts of reimbursing the community at large. Beats chops it up with the super inspirational and dare I say charismatic, Jeffrey Morgan. Jeffrey spent his early years growing up in the tough and infamous suburb of Redfern, Sydney and through a desire to merely survive, soon found himself engaging in some serious criminal behaviour resulting in some pretty heavy prison sentences. To say he has turned his life around would be an immense understatement. Jeffrey is living proof that with hard work and determination, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

I really enjoyed this yarn and left feeling very inspired.

Thanks Jeffrey for your time and knowledge.
I appreciate you!
Beats.

This week on The Get Down we switch it up a little bit and are joined by convicted bank robber Russell Manser. Russell has lived a pretty different life to what some of us may call "Normal" from robbing banks, escaping custody and overcoming a dangerous heroin addiction, Russell is nothing less than a survivor! This story of redemption is one of inspiration, however it does contain some very heavy content. Listener discretion is advised. I am confident to rate this episode 18+ If you feel you need support after listening to this episode, there are some links below.  **Apologies for the audio discrepancies**

I really enjoyed this episode & could have talked to Russell for a lot longer, so I hope his story is told well within this time.

Thank you so much Russell.
You are a true saint!
