about

Gamilaraay rappers T Breezy & Walkerboy debut their long-awaited joint mixtape SOUTHS MOST WANTED out now via Trackwork. Produced by label founder Utility, Breezy & Walkerboy inspired the establishment of the label in 2019 through their work together from Breezy’s first day out of juvie, making his trail blazing debut EP ‘2360’, and a slew of singles & collaborations with south side block buster Walkerboy.

SOUTHS MOST WANTED is a vibrant showcase of the two rappers’ dexterity, where throughout the brothers nod to the dynamic duos that have followed in rap’s history. Armed with their successful balance of hope and aggression fueled by the experiences of the postcode that raised them, the mixtape buoys with didactic interludes highlighting Inverell scenescapes amongst high-energy percussion and free-flowing bars. Utility’s production (forging the careers of the likes of Vv Pete / Snoee Badman / Sevy & Bayang tha Bushranger), serves as the conduit of the T Breezy and Walkerboy collaborative puzzle, crafting a footbed of melodic drill and trap from start to finish.

Highlights over SOUTHS MOST WANTED’s 12 tracks include ‘WHAT DO’, an anthem of their inevitable come up set to an instrumental sitting somewhere between the syncopated shaker rhythms of Mystikal and a relaxed, Craig David like garage edge. With music video shot by Nathan Brown shot on-ground at Inverell's south side, the duo's hometown and tight knit community are featured in the spotlight, juxtaposing their current day with their aspirational bars of ambition. Together they arm their community with the shared joy of their art, where a lack of access and resources in regional NSW present is a very real barrier in new music discovery.

'PAID', juxtaposes the humble brag against whatever means to an end activity one might need to secure to facilitate their dreams. ‘CLAP’ the tape’s darkest lean, bound by a simple yet effectively looped sample makes clear T Breezy and Walkerboy’s intent to leave no prisoner where a beat is concerned - channelling a similar, ‘Dirt Off Your Shoulder’ stance to the naysayers on Jay Z’s triumphant The Black Album. The sincere and hopeful ‘ALONE’, indebted to Memphis cassette culture, remarks on the necessary focus required in the pursuit of hustle. ‘FRINGE’ marries the harpsichord-guitar sound flanked in nostalgic R&B making a claim for not only its mainstream return, but its place in drill. Breezy makes his deepest motivations clear on ‘NO DISCUSSION’ - “I made something out of nothing” - dedicating much of his effort to his community and those around him stuck in the system. ‘CHIT CHAT’ appears as if to be their tribute to Timbaland and Missy, giving way to a Three-6 Mafia sample filtered through melodic keys as Walkerboy bobs and weaves through the trials that almost got in his way.

The force that is T Breezy and Walkerboy combined has steadily trod a path of reckoning, with the rappers previously performing together across the Sydney Opera House as part of the Barrabuwari showcase, Dark Mofo, Soft Centre and FBi Radio’s birthday festival FBi Turns 20. The Gamilaraay men born and raised in the semi-rural Inverell bonded through the distraction that music served the two individually, now pursued as a joint creative ambition. Their deep drive to write and record daily, sees the duo arrive on SOUTHS MOST WANTED as two fierce MCs that have put in hours behind closed doors to refine their craft, well on their way to a position as a generational talent - equally together as they are alone.
