Hip hop in Australia has evolved incredibly in recent decades.
At the core of the community still exists a passion for storytelling that brings with it its own unique identity yet with the emergence of new power players including The Kid LAROI, ONEFOUR and more, the culture surrounding hip hop and adjacent movements out of Australia has never felt more thrilling or hopeful. Not only are there new waves of young artists and producers putting a new flavour of ideas and sounds into the mix domestically, but they are turning heads internationally and establishing Australia as a territory that should no longer be overlooked or ignored.
As hip hop culture around the world moves further into the mainstream and becomes the culture, this conversation focuses on how things are changing in Australia and how the goalposts for success, when it comes to the producers and artists carving a place for themselves in the community, are continuing to shift.
