INDIGENOUS hip hop reggae crews unite for SOLID TERRITORY

Press Release: SOLID TERRITORY

SOLID TERRITORY jams express solidarity for the Aboriginal peoples of
the Northern Territory (NT)– in the spirit of Indigenous Self
Determination and unity. It brings together conscious and creative
crews to express solidarity given the recent military driven - land
grabbing attack on Indigenous Self Determination.

Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, Maori and other hip hop reggae
crews join forces to express outrage at the recent 'Trojan horse'
tactics of the Federal Government in Australia. Local crews join
forces with hip hop legends Upper Hutt Posse, Revolution MC's and Miss
bMe coming all the way from Aotearoa/NZ!

Local mob include The Last Kinnection, Street Warriors, Wire MC,
Nadeena Dixon, Honesty, Djaypun Inc, MC Liquid, The Whitehouse with
interstate guests Zennith (Qld) One Blood Hidden Image (TSI) and Dizzy
D (Qld). It promises to fire up some seriously solid hip hop and
reggae flavours – true south pacific songs of solidarity.
