It’s not the lack of good artists in Oz Hip Hop at the moment it’s the influx of absolutely shit ones that seem to appear overnight with a desire to be the nest big thing. Fortunately for us all, Melbourne rapper G-Force has been honing his skills for as long as I have known him and while others have dropped off or given up G-Force has provided us with a surprisingly fresh take at our beloved genre.

The album’s intro kicks off with a smooth beat appropriately called Welcome (beats produced by Xcise & Dutch) and by the time the 40 seconds is up you are nearly on your feet with anticipation off what what’s on next. Stop, Drop, Roll doesn’t disappoint, the production on this track combined with seamlessly perfect flow will remind you what good Oz Hip Hop is supposed to sound like. The feature track Clouded is a track about self reflection and is perfect for playing when you need some motivation. Just when you think this Album is going to be strictly grimey Drop The Beat (ft Vida Sunshyne) is the kinda track that your missus will remember and will have her jigging around to. Fed Up (Government Funk) similarly has a dope upbeat beat but with ironically…well ‘fed up’ lyrics. (It’s going to be ok man – Ed). The next track features Hunter. Burden of Proof is a real stand out for me. The raps on this track are superb especially Hunters lines, I did feel the hook was a bit weak but judge for yourself. Whoever came up with Since We Need an Interlude haha ya funny cunt.. Skipping forward a few tracks (fuck, you need to judge some of this wax for yaself) to Track 12 Game of life Ft Maundz is another standout. Some real grimey shit and kinda makes me wanna smoke some bongs and watch graff videos. I dunno check it out and see if you think the same thing. Gonna Be Mine Ft. Doc Felix is nothing short of pure awesomeness and with a DJ like Doc Felix (Top Billin) I didn’t expect anything less. Ahhh the Outro a perfect end to a Album that’s on repeat.

G-Force Clouded is OUT NOW on Run Of Play Records and proudly distributed by Obese Records.
