The Elefant Traks forums and fans of Ozi Batla for quite a while now have been asking “When’s Ozi doing a solo?”, we were told “it’s happening”, “it’s underway”, well look no further because it’s all starting now. Ozi Batla has released a track, titled Put It On Wax as a teaser to the release of his forthcoming solo album Wild Colonial. Wild Colonial is due out May 14th through none other than Elefant Traks and looks to be another fine chapter in Ozi Batla’s career. You can catch the track Put It On Wax on Soundcloud now, or embedded below.
On Triple J today Hau (Triple J Hip Hop Show/Koolism) announced the winner of the 2010 Hilltop Hoods Initiative. We’d like to extend our congratulations to Melbourne’s hottest MC since Mantra, the man known as 1/6. If you haven’t had a chance to catch anything by 1/6, you can catch him kicking frees on YouTube care of Top Billin’ and also on the album Wasteland by Illzilla. You can also catch some newer tracks, including Neophyte (the track previewed on JJJ, produced by M-Phazes) on MySpace.
If you asked me over the last year who my favourite MC in the country was, it’s likely i responded “Social Change“, you’d say “Who?” and i’d proceed to walk you through YouTube (here), some music and recently some freestyles on Top Billin’ (check it out here on Sound Cloud at 13 minutes in). Social Change hails from Adelaide and is made up of MC Social Change, Producer Funkwig and DJ Snair, all coming together to produce some of the phattest hip-hop in the country.
