Tumi the Be -
Poet and rapper Tumi The Be pairs lyricism with old and new school beats, to tell the stories of a Motswana living in Melbourne. Tumi makes music to rouse the spirit and delight the soul. Acknowledging the fight of those that came before him, Tumi recognises the privilege that comes with freedom of speech, so uses this to his advantage to bring something refreshing yet thoughtful to the Australian rap scene. His sound is one steeped in rich musical, spiritual and poetic tradition reminiscent of the likes of Gil Scot Heron, Andre 3000 and Kendrick Lamar.

Dilly Dave - DillyDave has been dashing round the scene for years, trying to find the source code for the best combination of beats and raps. 2 EPs and a couple singles deep, he is on the tip of a iceberg size breakthrough. He’s nerdy and cares not for the opinions of other, he share’s his shit regardless of the audience. He breaks barrels and hearts in the same song. Get around him or get lost.
