The Get By: we like hip hop.
Thanks to everyone who has been listening in the last few weeks.
It's been an exciting month getting this show off the ground. Send your love and hate mail here and let us know what you think. With your support we can keep this fledgling on air and keep this shit on your airways. If you've missed the show so far, some of the big names to grace the airwaves have included Aesop Rock, Atmosphere, Sage Francis and El-P, plus a whole heap of local names too, including Horrorshow, Seth Sentry and Plutonic Lab.
The Get By aims to give a voice and an outlet to new hip hop talent in Australia, especially in Sydney. As well as spinning as much quality Sydney hip hop material as we can get our hands on, we've also had some of this city's most talented artists sitting down for a chat and a cup of Twinnings. Phatchance from Nurcha Records has popped in for a talk and a freestyle, young guns Mind over Matter programmed some tunes and those prodigies from Elephant Tracks, Horrorshow swore repeatedly. (Apparently you can't drop the C bomb on air...)
Tonight we had in graffiti artist and all round lovely lady Chez to talk about her upcoming event Platform 2 Hip Hop at Carriage Works and, more specifically, Can Control, an exhibition of the best names in Australian graffiti art.
Head along to check out Can Control this Saturday from 2.30pm to 5.30pm at Carriage Works in Redfern. It's a free event and some massive names in graffiti art will be there competing.
Hopefully you caught it and (even if you didn't) we'd love to hear your thoughts on the issue. How do you feel about the graffiti community in Australia? Is an event like Can Control contrived or inspired? Is it something you'd head along to? If you're a well-established artist or just a burgeoning painter, comment below on this post.
Drop us a line, stay involved and, most importantly, stay tuned to Sydney's newest hip hop show The Get By.
