It’s raw, honest and highlights the close bond of their community.

Although relatively new to the scene, the overall quality of her artistry makes it clear there’s big things ahead.

AC-300 – WHO YOU WIT
“They know that I’m with it, straight to the top you know that’s why I hit it!”
Melbourne rapper AC-300 flows with presence across a dark melodic beat in his latest track Who You Wit. Although relatively new to the scene, AC’s deep husky voice, which reminiscent of the late Pop Smoke, sees the emerging African / Australian talent primed for a quick ascent via another strong TMC visual.
