As some of you may know i am an Aussie hip hop artist myself and I go by the name of
Tru Blue Emcee, but I have found as I have become a father and my responsibilities have changed, I have gone into more of a promoter/blogger/representative of the art form type of role.
I have created a couple of online avenues for the art to become noticed, I'm trying to play my part to get the art form more exposure in any way I can.
Aussie hip hop has come along way since I first started making music back in the mid ninety's, and it seems almost anyone you speak too (general public) has a favourite artist whereas back in the day you really had to search out the music, let alone find someone who was a massive fan and supported the artist anyway they could.
I personally love the fact that Australian hip hop has gone a little more commercial as it brings more eyes and ears towards this type of music, I also like the fact that our underground movement hasn't suffered at all from the emergence of pop hip hop, I know some peeps hate the mainstream factor of the music but you don't have to listen to it, "To Each His Own".
Anyway enough babbling, below are the sites I own and run, please feel free to check them out and post some of your music while your there.
Check Out My Aussie Hip Hip Sites:
I try and post as regularly as i can on this page with music from up and coming artists to established ones, I also run competitions from time to time too. I encourage other artists to post links to their music, events, gigs etc. on our wall.
This website has Australian hip hop videos and free mixtape downloads, samplers, and general news in the scene.
Just another place where you can post links to your music, discuss events, videos etc.
This is a Soundcloud group page, so if you have a soundcloud account you can easily post your music to it, I have the music player embedded on all the above sites, and it gets posted to facebook often.
