  • Bio

    ........ Acclaimed Sydney MC with The Herd and Astronomy Class, 10 years on the Elefant Traks imprint. AKA "that dude that sings 77%". At long last, Elefant Traks is pleased to introduce the debut solo record from Ozi Batla – Wild Colonial..... The most personal record of Ozi’s career sees him pick apart the pieces and put them back together over the course of 12 songs. Padded with humour and honesty, Wild Colonial reveals the passions of love, life and hip hop culture; as well as loneliness, contradictions and a sense of purpose. Rich in imagery and reflection, songs like ‘Distant Shore’ where the “morning sun might save his life” achieve that rare feat in hip hop – to be truly moving. .... Sandro has a crate-digger's aesthetic, previously having worked with the likes of Good Buddha and Def Wish Cast. His funk is back to the future; beautiful golden era hip hop with a psychedelic demeanour: the perfect setting for Ozi's lyrics..... DJ Bonez, one of the most highly revered DJs in Australia, has provided his trademark impeccable cuts, as exemplified on the first single Put it on Wax. A video for which is being created by Artifacts (nominated for a J Award for Australian Music Video of the Year - 2009). .... Beautifully packaged, Wild Colonial may be Ozi Batla’s best record in a career dotted with highlights. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .... .. ..
