My life story about Western Sydney in the 1980's and Australian Hip Hop in the 1990's. It's raw, honest and a story no one knows in full. The interviews are from a period in time that will never be repeated. The artists were living Hip Hop, it was, and still is their life. Besides me telling my life story, I've asked some MC's to write raps to certain topics related to my life. That means you will be hearing new, specially recorded music, on this podcast. paul.ctmusic@gmail.com
