Big ups to anyone that voted for me in the 2008 ozhiphop.com awards. I didn’t expect to take out ‘Best Australian Hip Hop Journalist’ but I’m stoked nonetheless. I truly appreciate it and will humbly continue to do what I can to support Hip Hop in Australia. Complete the process by checking out the artists I cover, buy the releases and attend the shows they play. It’s pretty clear that despite whatever tensions exist anywhere, on any level in the scene, we have something pretty special here, something that has been developing for more than 20 years since the days of AKA Brothers, Sound Unlimited Posse, Just Us and many others. Make music with integrity, because you enjoy it, not fame or fortune. This may be a common message but it is just as vital with the passing of time. Thanks.
Oh and special mention to Phatchance haha.
