This summer, Australian hip hop is witnessing a powerful convergence of legacy and evolution.
Two of its most compelling pillars, the veteran maestro Rapaport and the acclaimed Bundjalung lyricist Mr Rhodes, are embarking on a landmark co-headline tour, celebrating the release of their respective new projects: Rapaport’s collaborative album Rap Major and Mr Rhodes’ duo EP Rhode House.
Rapaport, Joel Rapaport, is a foundational architect of the scene. As founder of Big Village Records and a versatile rapper-guitarist, his career is a bridge between hip-hop’s heart and jazz’s spontaneity.
His new album, Rap Major, created with long-time partner P.Major, is a deeply reflective work.
Crafted on the iconic MPC4000, it’s a sample-rich, analogue-driven journey through themes of grief, friendship, and resilience.
