Ep. 17 - A True Aussie Icon featuring Reason.

Episode 17. A True Aussie Icon featuring Reason. It’s an honour and a privilege to be joined by Reason for the second instalment of Beers, Beats & The Biz in 2019. We’ve spoken in the past on the famed Formula cassette, but one of Reason’s appearances on the tape sums this episode up, “check ya history books we’re on the first few pages..” Reason is an icon of the culture and it was an honour for us to reacquaint and learn so much more about the man’s career. This episode begins in Singapore where Re currently lives and moves quickly into Melbourne hip hop folklore, from the graff and gangs through to his early career with NME, Intense Quality and the importance of the AKA Brothers, DJ Krisy and Sydney city’s Def Wish Cast. Re’s first solo release, Solid was also the debut album for Obese Records, we talk about the early days at Obese, it’s great success in the years that would follow and the immense legacy it’s given us. We talk individual songs like Melways with Bias B, Now We’re Somewhere with Terrafirma, Fatter Too with Lazy and Pegz, we talk Reography, One Step Ahead and the vast network of artists Re has collaborated with including The Hoods, Briggs, Hunter, Pegs, Tornts and The Hospice. At nearly 3 hours this is our biggest episode yet, the above can barely scratch the surface of this conversation, always articulate, Re speaks on everything with authority and passion.
