DJ Sir-Vere

In hip hop we are always looking for the ‘next’ MC – it’s an endless journey of discovery that – ironically – isn’t helped by the internet with it’s thousands of wannabes. One that has emerged as a quality newcomer is Chance The Rapper.

Hate to continually fly the Kendrick Lamar flag – but he’s done it again. Many people cite ‘Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe’ as one of the most complete tracks on the Good Kid album, and it just got better.

In my early days touring in Australia I was lucky that I was signed to Universal Records. My labelmate was the mighty DJ Nino Brown and he gave me a huge assist in launching my career there. He was invaluable in that he got me in to all the right venues, connected me with likeminded people across Aussie, and was just a solid dude.

His Blazin’ series is HUGE, and he continues to release them and do unbelievably huge tours. For his new release he has done a wicked party track with legendary US MC Greg Nice. The track is called ‘Bad Bitches’ and for those of us not in Australia, it’s a free download. Check the link here

Last week I attended a Nike event in Sydney that doubled as the launch of the new Lunar Force One, and the 30th anniversary of the iconic Air Force One.

It's not often that I get over-excited about doing a DJ support slot for an international artist, but the Kendrick Lamar concert in Auckland is most definitely one of them.
