Your New Music Weekly: "Dancin' John Doe" by Drapht (2015)

Feature Song of the Day = 'We Own The Night (feat Mantra and Urthboy)' by Drapht (2011)

Today's feature song is We Own The Night, by Australian hip-hop artist Drapht (featuring Mantra and Urthboy). Drapht (Paul Ridge) has been active on the Australian hip-hop scene since 1998 or so and he comes out Perth in Western Australia. Drapht is also a member of the Syllaboliks (SBX) crew, which is made up of all fellow Australian hip hop artists from Perth. We Own The Night comes off of his latest album titled The Life Of Riley, which was just released on April 1st, 2011. I have already posted the first single to come off of that new album which I would also highly recommend checking out if you like what you hear, and you can head over to his MySpace page to do just that HERE. I also highly recommend checking out Urthboy and Mantra (the guest-artists on this song). Would be awesome if the new album shows up on the US ITunes Store!!Life of Riley

Song of the Day for Novemeber 12th, 2010: "Rapunzel" by Drapht

The song is Rapunzel, by Australian hip-hop artist Drapht. Drapht is from Perth, Australia, and is signed to the Obese Record Label. This comes off of his upcoming new release album called The Life of Riley.

VJ Samsonite's "Hot New Music" song of the day is....

....Jimmy Recard, by Aussie hip-hop artist Drapht. Yet again, this is not a new song in Australia, in fact it was released back in May of 2008 on the Brothers Grimm album. Why am I posting oldish stuff? Well, because I can, and because its my blog, so there. Moving on...Jimmy Recard is a great song that reminds me of the show Entourage for some reason. Whilst I never really liked Entourage that much I always thought that this Aussie hip-hop song sort of summed up the theme of the show well; that being about  a group of friends trying to make the big-time in Hollywood, some of them achieving success and others not. At least that is what I summed up out of the one or two episodes I've seen, so maybe I am totally off, but the point is I don't give a flying-shart anyways. But seriously someone should make a fan-vid of Entourage using Jimmy Recard, because I probably won't do it ;-( ...Oh yes, getting back to Drapht, he hails at us out of Perth, Australia (a west-coast'a), and he has released three studio albums, so be sure to check them out if you like his work. What it is!
