Couple two of the most unlikely hip-hop associates and you’ve got Anon Speak.
Hailing from Melbourne, emcee Lakonic and producer DJ Fokus united in early 2008 to try and create a project that would not only delve into early 90’s boom bap, but combine it with a post modern, futuristic spin to concote a sound that would stand the test of time. The result is Conventional Emporium; Anon Speak’s debut LP.
Comprising of epic soundscapes and thought provoking lyrics, Conventional Emporium pushes the hip-hop boundaries to lengths somewhat unbeknowst to fans of the genre. Influenced by death, poetry, human nature, all types of music from dub to indie-rock and with a love of loathing and creativity, Anon Speak bring an abstract element to the Australian underground hip-hop scene.
Already having supported the likes of Canadian emcee Classified and JJJ favourites Low budget, Anon Speak are quickly rising and with this their first release, one can only expect interesting things to come as they continue to break down hip-hop stereotypes and conventions to bring you a sound that is far from your average.

Heya, apologies for the business like message, I'm a lover not a spammer, but I'm swinging around my friends pages letting people know my album Inkstains is *finally* dropping next week (November the 27th) in stores and online via iTunes. To celebrate the launch date I'm streaming the entire thing online from my Myspace exclusively for the next week, so if you're curious to give it a listen then I would really appreciate you taking a few minutes to drop by and check it out.
Presuming that for some insane reason you love it and can't be without the CD a moment longer I'm running signed pre-orders through JB HI-FI. These aren't going for long so if you want a piece of the action swing by http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/music/urban-grooves/inkstains/470165 and cop it
Hey mate, hope it all went well. I'm back in Perth now for the next 8 months or so. Looks like you've kept things moving since last I saw you. Good luck looking forward.
I have recently put up a new track on Triple J Unearthed taken from a new project of mine, 'Story Of My Life'. This little diddy features my amazingly talented friends Mind Over Matter and the angelic voice of Sam Mcneill from Sydney's Saving Grace. If you are cool and awesome and other similar adjectives, then you can stream the track, or download it free here;
Now would be the time to let you know you can also rate and/or review the track, too, which will go far towards charting this badboy on unearthed, so I would appreciate any time taken immensely and name my first born child after you. Probably... Maybe just a thanks, but you never know!
I assure you that women/men will fall at your feet if you help me out, and fortune will favor you with ice cream and cookies.
Sorry for another comment, I just wanted to let you know that PART 3 of my New Track Previews has been released, titled: 'Some Days'. If you have a free moment, you can listen to it at the MySpace Page!
The Full Version will be available on my soon-to-be-released Mixtape, 'The Intern'.
Also, I have started a FACEBOOK Fan Page, so if Facebook is now more of you're thing, feel free to join up!
