Australian hip-hop is going through an unprecedented rise. At the forefront of this movement is Kwame, an artist that has followed an incredible breakout 2018 with a year that has shown all the signs of an artist constantly evolving.
His latest single, ‘NOBODY feat. E^ST’, is a triumphant display of lyrical and production prowess. Following the single’s premiere on Beats 1 with Zane Lowe, Kwame explained the frustrations that fuelled the lyrics, going on to say that “the track itself is a huge reflection of the years I've had thus far, seeing many people come and go. It's a reminder for myself and anyone else to listen to yourself, outside opinions are irrelevant.”
‘NOBODY feat. E^ST’ is the second single from Kwame’s forthcoming third play, with the previously released ‘STOP KNOCKING @ MY DOOR’ finding Kwame glide over a chopped soul sample and proving just how diverse his upcoming work will be.
This new era of Kwame is just the beginning, catch him at Falls Festival Lorne and Lost Paradise as he warms up for a string of soon to be announced headline shows in the new year. Be sure to stream ‘NOBODY feat. E^ST’ here, and follow Kwame as he continues to defy what we know about Aussie hip-hop.
