“Music is the last link we have to our culture. Everything in our world has a dreamtime story, a song to teach the procedures. If we lose our dreamtime stories we will lose our culture. Language is changing because of western influence but our song lines are still strong. Music is literally the only reason our culture still exists,the one thing that white people can’t take away from us. Music is everything to us. This is why we do what we do.” – Elisha Umuhuri 2022

The lyrics of the song are particularly impactful, touching on themes of self-belief and the power of the human spirit. “I got the soul of the lion,” serves as a powerful mantra that encourages listeners to tap into their own inner strength and overcome any obstacle in their path.

The production on “Soul of the Lion” is top-notch, with a polished sound that showcases the skill and talent of DEM MOB. The mix is well-balanced, with each instrument and vocal part standing out clearly without overpowering the others.

DEM MOB have crafted a powerful anthem that is sure to resonate with listeners of all genres and backgrounds.

Sunshine In Sonic Form, Say Hello To Yellow By HeyHolly

Leave a comment

HeyHolly is the product of over a decade of friendship. Cruise was sent to the front office to show Bryce around for his first day of school in year 6 and the stars aligned.

“We have always connected and seen eye to eye with pretty much everything, music just so happens to be something we are both so passionate and in tune with.”

In August 2021 Cruise and Bryce decided to buckle down and stop making broken promises about chasing a career in music. Bryce found himself leaving a long term (5 year) relationship and was in a dark place facing a great deal of hurt and betrayal. Bryce needed a pick-me-up and Cruise was just that.

“All it took was Cruise showing me one beat with a crazy hook, he started belting out and I was spitting some bars over it and we both knew it was game on. We quickly hit up our amazing producer Jethro and the rest is history.”

HeyHolly debuted towards the end of 2021 with their single ‘RWS’ (Red Wine Season) and are quickly garnering a fanbase in the Adelaide scene. So far in 2022 HeyHolly have released 3 versatile singles and jumped on stage for a feature track with DeCoda S to give us a taste of their live infectious energy. HeyHolly are gearing up to release some songs of the summer to see the departure of 2022.

Yellow represents Sunshine, happiness and warmth and that’s exactly what music means to us, says HeyHolly.

“This is our manifestation song, a cheeky take on where we see ourselves in the future. Playing music all across the world to spread happiness and warmth”

Smiley kicks in the door on new track ‘Stick Up Kids’

Leave a comment
Anything you need to know about Smiley you can find out from his lyrics. The Perth emcee has always let his music do the talking; communicating in crystal clear, brutally honest terms. From his philosophies to his politics – from how he feels about cops, to how he feels about the community – it’s all there.

smiley

Produced by multi platinum, multi Juno Award winner Rob The Viking, Stick Up Kids is quintessential Smiley – viciously up-tempo and relentless – giving him all the room he needs to spit with precision and impunity. Dark and shady as only Smiley can do it, Stick Up Kids is raw, real and sinister. But versatility is the key to Smiley’s successes.

Colliding skill and tenacity, Smiley has always been a legit contender. Proudly carrying the torch passed down from exalted artists like Downsyde and late icon Hunter, Smiley is the next heir to the throne in Perth’s hip hop lineage – a challenge he has risen to with gusto. Brash, free-thinking and relatable, Smiley typifies the wave of new artists that are currently ushering in an exciting new era of the genre.
