so there are tons of aussie hip-hop artists that i like alot including:
hilltop hoods
pegz
downsyde
funkoars
urthboy
the herd

i just cant seem to find their music anywhere here in the US and downloading doesnt seem to get me too far either. i have found a couple cds online but paying 35 bucks for a 12 track album is crazy

also any of you OZ guys got any other recommendations for some good hip-hop artists that arent listed?

CD's have always cost a lot here compared to the US (doesn't everything :p), so importing albums won't be cheap for you - especially with how weak the US$ is atm.

Have you tried iTunes? I know there's a lot of those artists up in the Australia store...

i looked on the itunes store and i could find the herds cd and urthboy but thats about it. they dont even have hilltop

i really like the sound of aussie hip-hop more than anything we got here. it just sucks not being able to get my hands on anything.

Maybe talk direct to Obese about digital purchases/downloads:
http://www.obeserecords.com/

I downloaded (free) a few great tracks for my car recently from their site.
Culture of Kings is a pretty good compilation too.

It took me a little while to get into oz hiphop - mainly the cultural cringe with the accent, but I love it now :)

the accent is nothing to me, i love the beats and the style. its so chill compared to a lot of over here. rap has gone downhill here for a long time but there is still a good underground hip hop scene with good artists but just not enough
