Horrorshow droogies Solo (MC) and Adit (producer) and are Sydney hip hop’s best kept secret – but not for long. At just 19 years of age, this largely unknown duo are on the cusp of writing an exciting new chapter in Australian rap music with the impending release of their debut LP The Grey Space.
Solo is the kind of MC that wears his heart on his sleeve and then has the nerve to rap about it. Less concerned with battle raps than with the battle of the day-to-day, he seems much more at ease analysing and even celebrating his flaws than trying to convince you he doesn’t have any. Solo is a close affiliate of up-and-coming wonderkids Spit Syndicate (Obese Records); having toured NSW and VIC with the group, and features extensively on their forthcoming LP Towards The Light. Adit’s production is predominantly sample-based; drawn from a variety of sources and styles but tied together by a strong sense of musicianship. Combining samples with a number of different live instruments, his beats have a rich and distinctive flavour which affords Horrorshow a real depth in sound.
Music is so disposable in today’s landscape that it is a rarity for artists to hone their craft and develop their skills before releasing material – yet this is exactly the approach that Horrorshow have taken. After meeting in high school in 2000, the pair wound up working on a few drama projects together. Fuelled by a common interest in beats and rhymes, they began working on tracks in secret before finally accepting their pipe dreams of rap stardom and forming the Horrorshow crew in 2007.
Amongst many other things, Horrorshow is inspired by a mutual love of music, and although their tracks are firmly rooted in the tradition of underground hip hop, they are influenced by a range of different musical styles. At just under an hour in length, The Grey Space is a cohesive musical project, with tracks ranging in mood from up-beat and punchy to dark and introspective. Featuring verses from Nick Lupi and Just Enuf of Spit Syndicate as well as Sydney stalwart Fame, who oversaw the mixing and mastering of the album, The Grey Space is an exciting taste of what’s to come from this up-and-coming pair from Sydney’s inner west.
Sometimes sad and sometimes fun, some times proud and some times humble, some times black and some times white, The Grey Space is music that is, above all, heartfelt and honest. So keep your ear to the ground and/or your local radio station, cos in 2008 – grey is the new black.
