There is a hip-hop music group in Melbourne called 3K, they are just a few of the most talented people in Melbourne, Australia.  They have released EP Don’t Panic in 2018, and I think they are incredible. They released Open For Business in 2019, as another EP.

INTERVIEW: AGUNG MANGO

AGUNG MANGO really came out of nowhere, so we sat down with the man for a proper introduction to the world. If you still haven’t heard the Melbourne rapper, check out “WITH AWE I SEE (ft. CD)”, or any of his videos. All of his stuff oozes creativity & that soulful style has the potential to reach a lot of Australians one day, even those not that into rap music. Here's his new single "24hrs". Shit is crazy.

WHAT DOES YOUR NAME MEAN?

Agung is my Balinese family name & Mango means ‘man on the go'.

WHERE ARE YOU BASED & WHERE DID YOU GROW UP?

I grew up in the Western suburbs of Melbourne in an area called DEER PARK. After the age of 10 My family moved to Caroline Springs my home town. I’m a west-side boy.

YOU HAD A GREAT SET AT MONTANASA'S NEIGHBOURHOOD FUNK PARTY. HOW WAS THAT SHOW FOR YOU?

The Neighbourhood Funk gig was an event to remember. It was so dope seeing everyone come out and show love from all ends of Melbourne. Shout out everyone who came through & shout out to MONTANASA! That’s family.

THE "AWE I SEE" VIDEO IS EASILY ONE OF MY FAVOURITE LOCAL VIDS OF RECENT MEMORY. HOW DID THAT COME TOGETHOR & WHAT LED YOU TO CHANGE YOUR TRADEMARK VHS LOOK?

Appreciate it bro! “AWE I SEE” came about when me and BELUGA from the 3K decided to start our own production team called SHADY TREES with “AWE I SEE” being our first big project. We worked our asses off for that vid. We had to figure a way to hang me upside down without fucking me up (laughs).

HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

Hahah we just used some random tradie harness we found. It was a mission though.

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO DO THE MAKEUP FOR THE ARROW IN YOUR EYE?

So my home girl Alex came in everyday for 4 days at 7am to do the make-up which took an hour every time. She would bounce to go to work so I had the arrow in my eye from 7am till 5pm or later for those 4 days. I’ve never hated something so much in my life (laughs) that shit was the worst. Also cause she had work in the morning I had to wait for BELUGA to finish work at around 11am to start shooting. So for most of the days I spent around 4 hours each morning just waiting by myself with this arrow thru my eye. It was the worst. Just imagine losing an eye for 4 days (laughs) my sense of balance was out the window.

YOUR MUSIC IS STRIKINGLY DIFFERENT TO MOST MELBOURNE RAP. WHAT INFLUENCED YOUR STYLE?

Damn this is always a hard question to answer. To be honest man I don’t know what inspires me to make the music I make, I like all types of music so it’s hard to pin down. But usually movies help me write so I gather inspiration mostly from movies.

WHAT LEGACY DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE ON THIS SCENE?

I just want to inspire people to get out n’ make shit. From music, to videos, to whatever man I just want to inspire.

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FORM YOU IN THE FUTURE?

I got a project dropping soon and it’s content packed, musically & visually.

Stay posted for more interviews from EMMANUEL.

It’s impossible to ignore AGUNG MANGO. Melbourne’s fresh new talent.

In the last 8 months, Melbourne rapper AGUNG MANGO has turned himself from a complete unknown into an established artist. His ascension comes thanks to hard work, creativity, perfectionism and his method of releasing refreshingly dope rap tracks paired with quality visuals that come brimming with a vibe that suits the Australian scene.

His most recent drop “WITH AWE I SEE (ft. CD)” is MANGO in hi-def, flexing a rapid-fire melodic flow that has the potential to help take Melbourne rap where we all know it’s heading. From all those boom-bap anthems HILLTOP HOODS and co were dropping back in the day, to the stuff REMI or SAMPA THE GREAT are currently making, Aussie hip-hop has always thrived most when drenched in soul. Something about it just resonates with the Australian experience.

AGUNG is following in their footsteps, but like many new wave artists, he’s also adding his own contemporary spin on things, adding more sonic grit, tasteful auto-tune & a heavy American influence. Suss “ONGO”, “NO HELP” & “DAY BY DAY” for some dope examples.

Few established artists have opted to switch between this sound and full trap tracks despite the fact that pitched 808s and triplets have been dominating popular music for like a decade now.

On “INDO” & “FLICKHER” MANGO does just this, truly showing that the sky is his limit. Follow him on socials for more.
