    Hey, .. .. Add me on ..iLike..: .. .. ...... .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .... ......Click here to view a bigger version of my map!..You can also make your own, it's free!...... .. .. .. ..13th Son.., of Sydney collective ..Basic Equipment.., is no stranger to Australian Hip Hop. He began MCing in 1992 as part of the group Industrial Dispute and just one year later he was seen gracing the stage with the likes of Def Wish Cast, 046 and The Noble Savages all legends of the local scene then and now. His first release came shortly after with the Industrial Dispute cassette 'Industrial Strength' (1994) and following that spent the next few years appearing at various gigs around town and making a name for himself with his flawless flow and sophisticated style. .. .. By '96 Industrial Dispute had changed its name to ..Fathom.. and really turned the heat up taking Sydney by storm with the '97 release of 'The Beats from 20,000 Fathoms' on cassette. A few more standout appearances on compilations and supporting many fine international acts including Latyrx , Blackalicious and Mystik Journeyman led to the demand for some solo material and in 2001 13th Son released his debut 4 track EP ..'Always..' on Basic Equipment. Entirely produced by ..Sereck.. the EP was well received both in Australia and overseas and showed all that 13th Son could truly hold his own as a solo MC. .. .. The success and praise garnered by the EP led to a wide array of gigs and contributions to compilations such as ..“Culture of Kings 2” (Obese), “Straight from Art Vol 2” (Warner), “Airheads Vol 1”.. and ..“Airheads Vol 2” (Parallax View)... He also appeared with the Down Under Beats Crew on their Triple J Unearthed winning LP “Hiphoperation “ and, along with fellow Sydney MC Brass, fronted live Sydney Hip Hop outfit ..Upshot... .. .. In 2006 13th Son released his debut full length solo effort ..'The Hero; The Trickster'... The album was critically appraised with Stealth Magazine calling it “one of the most memorable releases to come out of Australia that the WORLD truly needs to hear”. 2006 also saw him appear on the acclaimed ..“Beathedz Connection Vol. 1” (Obese).. by Melbourne’s own Jase. .. .. In 2007 13th Son returned with his sophomore effort ..“Our Lives”.., a soul laden long player featuring production from M-Phazes (Wax Reform), Jase (Beathedz/Nubreed), Sereck (Def Wish Cast/Basic Equipment), Stat-D and SDub. Guests include Butta Verses (US), Spit Syndicate (Syd), Trace Elements (Gold Coast), Fame (Syd) and Tam Morris. .. .. 13th Son's second album ..OUR LIVES (Grindin/CSR/Destra).. in-stores now... .. 13th Son is currently working on his third album ..AURORA AUSTRALIS..... ..

    ...... .. ..BASIC EQUIPMENT.. .... ..What The Critcs had to say about OUR LIVES:.. .... "Rather than conform to what Australian hip-hop should sound like, 13th has created an album of smooth soul flavoured brilliance". - ..InTheMix.Com.. ...... "Much chop? Well whaddya reckon? Of course it is. I’d even go so far to say it’s rather superb." - ..ThreedWorld.. ...... .... ..What The Critcs had to say about THE HERO; THE TRICKSTER:.. .... "One of the most memorable releases to come out of Australia that the WORLD truly needs to hear". - ..STEALTH MAGAZINE.. ...... "...if you're into your true blue hip-hop and youre not interested in buying another hip-hop album where the rappers are more interested in their egos or how well know they are, then 13th Sons new album "The Hero, The Trickster" is exactly what your looking for". - ..BUZZ MAGAZINE.. ...... "If 'The Hero; The Trickster' is anything to go by, we can expect big things in the future from this challenging MC". - ..URBAN HITZ MAGAZINE.. ...... "With his debut album he has done well to maintain his underground credibility with his clever, personal and abstract rhyming, but still able to create commercial sensibility through infectious productions. His profile can only grow as Australian hip-hop continues to blossom". - ..dBMAGAZINE.COM.. ......
