THE RIOT RETURN WITH THEIR STRONGEST STATEMENT YET: NEW SINGLE & VIDEO ‘SEE IT BELIEVE IT’ OUT TODAY

Three-piece THE RIOT returns today with their strongest statement yet, a song that speaks to the trio’s vision and ability to find unity in a time of chaos.

Opening with an almost Moses Sumney-like choral part before ducking and weaving through rap and hardcore, ‘See it Believe it’ is an anthem for those who have never had one written for them, a siren call to those unseen by a failing system.

YIBBY SHARES NEW SINGLE 'CHESS NOT CHECKERS' FEAT. ARNO FARAJI

Today, Sydney hip-hop artist YIBBY returns with his new single 'Chess Not Checkers', featuring Arno Faraji. The track, which was premiered on triple j, flips the energy upward from February's darker, slow-burning cut ‘Cigar’ and last year's 'No Sweat', with grime-inspired hip-hop production by Clockwork Odyssey and Kid Fiction. Fusing Yibby and Arno Faraji's equally inspired flows, 'Chess Not Checkers' makes for an excitable and commanding record with the two local trailblazers signature stamps all over it.

Today, Sydney-based, New Zealand-born artist Somber Hills shares his dynamic new single 'Don't Need'. With influences spanning across rock, hip-hop and trap, ‘Don’t Need’ bridges the sonic gaps between genres, with its lyrical angst and raw vocal delivery at the forefront. Exploring the artist's conflicted feelings of guilt in pursuing music as a career, the track's darker tones are evident in it's melancholic production style.
