Tuka

So I'm a bit late but it's gota be Friday somewhere in this wide world of ours right?  I am gunna mix it up a little this week and hit you up with my favourate Aussie Hip Hop track of 2012.


Tuka (pronounced tucker) is one third of the acclaimed crew from NSW, Thundamentals.  After releasing their sucessfull second full length album last July they hit the road, and Tuka (in between gigs) hit the note pad day and night penning his latest release "Feedback loop'.  After an age of hitting the stage and wowing  Australian audiences as a member of Thundamentals, rumpunch and Sketch the Rhyme, his time has come to take the lead.

Tuka has delivered an album that strives to seek out the deepest of his inner thoughts, he gives you his insight into the world and his interpretation of the society in which we live.  The title and lyrical content strewn throughout these songs appealed to me straight away as it asks questions of the listener, either by making bold statements or subtle suggestions,  it not only makes you smile but it makes you think and question your beliefs.   
 

This track is an instant head nodder, "Die a Happy Man" the second release off the album sucks you in with a big band sound and simple but additive beat.  It moves almost unnoticeable through slight piano loops and movie soundtrack sounding interludes before the angelic voice of Lauren Tyrell takes you on a magic carpet ride through the corus.

I'm sure this wont tick the boxes for you all but for anyone ho can appreciate the talents of those that call themselves MC's this one is for you, get ready to bounce!
