With the success of his sophomore album ‘Who Am I’, Drapht has burned his name on the door of Oz Hip-Hop’s hall of fame. With a nomination for ‘Best Urban/Hip Hop Act’ at the West Australian Music Industry Awards in 2007, he is clearly at the cutting edge with his innovative and dynamic flow. Surrounded by music at home, Drapht first discovered Hip-Hop at the tender age of Eight. While his father’s jazz leanings had exposed him to Grandmaster Flash, his sister later introduced him to the raw power and ferocity of NWA and Public Enemy. At 17, Drapht became a vital part of Perth’s premier Hip-Hop crew, Syllabolix, alongside Obese Records’ own Layla and Dazastah(Downsyde). Drawn instantly to the Hip-Hop lifestyle of graffiti and turntablism, Drapht found his real
gifts lay in the art of rhyming.
Having refined and consolidated his skills, Drapht has placed Perth on the Hip-Hop map. Two albums, ‘Pale Rider’ (2003) and ‘Who Am I’ (2005) have enjoyed national airplay on Triple J and have drawn the acclaim of critics worldwide. His unique voice and original flow moves effortlessly from hardcore head-banger to soulful melody, unafraid to tackle
issues of politics, indigenous land-rights, sex and addiction. All this is expertly spliced
together through intricate wordplay and carefully structured lyricism to form records worthy of the attention they receive. Drapht has performed throughout Australia alongside the biggest names in the industry, including Hilltop Hoods, Expansion Team
(Dilated Peoples), Downsyde, Koolism and Resin Dogs and was featured as a guest MC on Hilltop Hoods’ Platinum album ‘The Hard Road’. Expect big things from Drapht in 2008 with his extraordinary album ‘Brothers Grimm’ set for release on 10th May.

My name's dyljay, i'm a 16 year old new australian hiphop artist, started making songs about 5-6 months ago now. I'm currently recording all my song's on a peice of shit laptop microphone, with no editing programs, or no equipment at all. So my songs quality are pretty poor. You're an inspiration to my music, So if you guys would be able to spare me even a minute of you're time to just listen to one of my song's and let me know what you think, and maybe give me a few tips of how i could improve, then i'd never forget it for the rest of my life. Keep up the good work, it's guys like you keep australian hiphop around. Looking forward to new songs. Dyljay, out of geelong.

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
