How do you react to racism? Anger, humour or ignoring it? I’ve called somebody a ‘Corey Worthington’ as the only thing I could think of close to being as insulting as a truly racist remark.
We talk with Mirrah and her husband, Zig, about racialism in Australia. One of things she says reminds me of the scene in ‘See No Evil, Hear No Evil‘ where the blind character Richard Pryor is playing discovers he is ‘black’. “Does Dad know?”.
Look out for Mirrah’s new mixtape, ‘Life Love Music’, and let us know your experiences.
Eric has got the nod factor. His music has that swinging bass that reminds you of a drunken tortoise plodding out of the pub. He jumped off a plane, then came to the studio where we stuck a camera in his face and put him to work behind the turntables. He has an album of his beats and the likes of Oddisee, Guilty Simpson, Muhsinah and Kaidi Tatham providing vocals. It is called New Territories and it is worth your attention. Check it
Errkkk.. Yes that is Father MC from his 1996 Playgirl feature. The paternal rapper didn’t really live up to his name. In 97, we was arrested for owing $60,000 worth of child support for his out of wedlock kiddies.
You can hear from the Father MC and a few other New Jack Swingers when DJ Yelo gets in the mix. We are also joined by Sydney rappers, Loose Change and Nick Knowledge. Hear it all by clicking on your Daddy.

We were hoping it would be like 50 Cent vs Kanye when both Spit Syndicate and Ozi Batla released albums on the same day in May. We had to address the rumours that one of them would retire if they don’t out sell the other and also got into a little discussion about Spit Syndicate’s new free food escapades.
We highly recommend that you check out their latest work Exile. You can purchase a copy on iTunes. Also make sure you check out Ozi Batla’s album Wild Colonial

We are planning to start cloudcasting the show, when we feel it is a little less bodgy than normal.

And here are a couple of tracks on the 210 Computa Riddim MP3: Macka Diamond – Pay Down MP3: Junior Cat – Bap Bap
This is another one from the archives. Bronx freestyle wizard, C-Rayz Walz pops by the studio semi-unannounced. We were talking to Paris and T-Kash that day, and C-Rayz also came by. We had to ask the former Def Jux rapper, Stronghold representative a few questions, which turned into a bit of a freestyle.
Peach is a swell guy. You may no him from Peach and Shag (former FBi 94.5 FM Arvos team), or his collaboration with producer MailerDaemon known as MailerPeach. He is also a lawyer by day. He came by the studio to do a bit of pro bono work providing free legal advice in freestyle form. Yay!
Woo yeah! This is the West Coast Gangsta Boogie refix that we did of Spit Syndicate’s Weapon of Choice. It was originally for the Yo Yo Yo! Mixtape!, but here it is in all it’s separate glory.
