ONEFOUR IN THE WAVES

 

OneFour: The Rise Of Australia’s Most DOMINANT GROUP

Onefour

Musical group




Onefour are an Australian drill-rap group based and originating from the Western Sydney suburb of Mount Druitt. They are regarded by many as the pioneers of drill-rap in Australia. The group consists of 5 core members, Spenny, YP, Celly, Lekks, and Jemz.


      BIOGRAPHY

But regardless of how you view them, in under one year, the group from Mount Druitt have gone from almost complete unknowns to one of the biggest things in Australian music. Offering their own unique take on ‘drill’ – an offshoot of hip hop that originated in Chicago in the early-10s before spreading to London – their music videos have repeatedly gone viral, captivating not just Western Sydney, but the rest of Australia, the UK and America.

They’ve a combined 73 million streams, and claimed three out of YouTube’s top 10 trending Australian music videos of 2019. That’s one more than Tones and I, the artist who stole the show at November’s ARIA awards with four wins from seven nominations. In short, it’s hard to remember a moment like this.

However, this meteoric success only tells half of OneFour’s story so far. For all the fans they might have, their music is also attracting the wrong kind of attention – the sort of scrutiny that could mean the year they’ve had will go down as both the group’s biggest and its last. With the police claiming OneFour are tied to criminal gang activity, they’ve repeatedly prevented the group from performing, and consequently, from earning any real money from their music.

THE RISE OF ANGUS YUNG

 ANGUS YUNG musical artist BIOGRAPHY A 21 year old rapper from Hobart, going by the name "Angus Yung" (I was named Angus as my dad loved AC/DC and felt fitting) I've been writing music for around 7 years and  written close to 100 songs but none of them met the standard I wanted until I released my first one last month titled "On My Fashion". I have been skating for just as long too, which has influenced my music and vice versa, the two art forms go hand in hand for me and I hope to eventually move to the mainland to progress in both of those fields. Hobart is a difficult city to get recognition in for the music I make, as it is not the preferred music taste of the majority, which provides a unique challenge for me trying to get my home city on board with my sound. But actions speak louder than words so I feel the need to prove myself that I am legit. VISION & ACCOMPLISHMENTS My main goal is to be original and to not copy other sounds, success is easier...

THE RISE OF YOUNGN LIPZ

  Youngn Lipz Musical artist Western Sydney has energized Australia’s rap and RnB scene with a wave of Polynesian artists using genres like Drill to express the gritty realities of life as outsiders on the outskirts of the city. Youngn Lipz is different. In his debut track  Misunderstood,  rocking a Gucci cap and backed by his lads, YL crooned his way through a love story set in Catamaran. Songs Misunderstood Misunderstood · 2019 Say It Say It · 2020 Everyday Everyday · 2020 BIOGRAPHY YL is showing the world a different side of “the areas,” which is the part of Western Sydney that has become notorious in the media for gang violence. Instead, YL has taken the so-called "postcode wars" and subverted them in his music videos with a vibrant mix of multiculturalism and heart-on-your-sleeve lyricism. There is more laughter than there is bravado. There is more dancing than there is bridging-up. And there’s more fun than there is tragedy. YL’s wavy m...
