I’ve been MCing for a while now, first in the early 80s with my brother Evo [Werdup], then in the late 80s with my boys Teeedo [Katana] in Assassins and Killa Elite, and the Sereck [Unique] in Superstarz and Soul Brothers.
I started to take it a little more seriously when I met up with my partner in rhyme Wizdm, and we started rhyming under the crew name Brethren. Initially a crew of about a dozen, it later reduced to Wiz, myself and 3 mates form school, bboys Carlos [Legend], George [Spence] and Rio. It finally ended up being just music with myself and Wiz. Since then we’ve done hundreds of gigs, toured all over Oz and released numerous tracks on tape, CD and vinyl. Our most recent release was a concept album titled Beyond Underground, which was inspired by our love of Sci-Fi, and had an accompanying comic book. Part of the story draws from the Aussie cult classic film Mad Max, and our video for the track Intercepta reflects that, also featuring a cameo from our old buddy Emile Minty [The Feral Kid].
Wiz is about to drop his solo album called Unrelenting. It’s a must buy for anyone into slammin beats, dope rhymes and a positive party vibe. Don’t forget to check out his site through the link.
Also on a solo vibe I’m working on a project called way of the Warrior. The album has a basis in my longtime love of martial arts, and has some mean ass beats by Wiz, Sereck and Nebs. There will also be cameo verses by the likes of Solomon Klepto, Wizdm, Brass Knuckles, Reason, Elevate, Vice Versa, Darco, Playdough, and a few more to be confirmed as the project develops.
There are also some new Brethren tracks in the planning, so don’t think that that’s slipped by the wayside. I’ll keep you posted.
