Hyjak and Torcha are two of Australia’s most respected and innovative MC’s. Accompanied by veteran DJ Bonez on the decks ‘Drastik Measures’ was their debut album, released in 2004.

Hyjak exploded onto the scene in 98 as a 15 year old who snuck into his local Bondi pub to enter his first mc battle stunning the crowd with his witty freestyles. Yes he left the battle victorious and an urban legend amongst his peers. Six years later we see a mature songwriter and storyteller with the same happy go lucky attitude and witty freestyles.“Couldn’t afford a video clip so I rap on surveillance camera footage” sums up the humorous and honest style. Torcha also has a rich history in Australian hip hop as an original member of Sydney’s “eth-nik tribe”. Torcha is a realist with untamed battle lyrics and great story telling ability. The older of the two MCs, Torcha brings well-planned concepts and conscious balance to the group. This albums conception was inspired by the return of Torcha from a two-year hiatus of focusing on his marriage and work. “Trapped in cycle where you mind is your worst enemy” authenticates the truthful lyrics Torcha is revered for.
