Latest for @Junkeedotcom: I spoke to Full Circle - @NickWarddd, @Sollyywood, @BreakfastRoad, @FridayAsterisk, Zion Garcia (@Zeyewan) and Dylan Atlantis (@UselessAliens) - to learn about the importance of community, the dangers of toxic positivity & more https://bit.ly/3FwFEsZ
As I happily stream De La Soul's catalog, I am also furious that a landmark work of sonic pastiche had to be changed *at all* for release. It's an injustice that we've been tolerating for too long. It's time to make sampling legal. My piece for
: I wrote about King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Sticky Fingers, Bluesfest and why we should all aspire to make the Australian music industry a safer space for all. I hope you enjoy this read - a lot went into it.

Latest for @acclaimmag: I spoke to @Gamirez4Gold, @YNGRach, @Sowdyszn and Liv Declerck about Perth hip-hop, and learnt a lot in the process. I've put together a bit of an intro to Perth's hip-hop scene - dive in and discover the magic of the 6K! https://bit.ly/3DrzPMn
