Australian Hip Hop
Australian hip hop traces its origins to the early 1980s and is largely inspired by hip hop and other urban musical genres from the United States. As the form matured, Australian hip hop has become a commercially viable style of music which is no longer restricted to the creative underground, with artists such as The Kid LAROI, Manu Crooks, ONEFOUR, Iggy Azalea, Hilltop Hoods, Bliss n Eso and Youngn Lipz, having achieved notable fame. Australian hip hop is still primarily released through independent record labels, which are often owned and operated by the artists themselves. Despite its genesis as an offshoot of American hip hop, Australian hip hop has developed a distinct personality that reflects its evolution as an Australian musical style. History Early years (1980s) In 1982, the music video for Malcolm McLaren's track, "Buffalo Gals", was shown on the Australian television music show '' Sound Unlimited''. The music show was broadcast on Network Seven. The clip was s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
