2023 marks 50 years since hip hop started in New York City and rapidly spread across the globe. From DJ Kool Herc to Hilltop Hoods, we take a deep dive into how hip hop came to Australia and evolved into one of the biggest cultural forces in the country.
In this exclusive music documentary, a production of The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, we spoke to some of the most influential artists from Sydney and Melbourne and gained insight into the hip-hop scene and how the culture exploded Down Under.
Includes interviews with: DJ Peril (1200 Techniques), Mistery, L – FRESH The LION, A.GIRL, Munkimuk (South West Syndicate) and Rosano Martinez (Westside Posse, Sound Unlimited, Renegade Funktrain).
Written and directed by Bella Ann Sanchez.
