Melburnian indie rapper Ben Townsend, otherwise known as the innovative
Ivan Ooze
, garnered some major traction after the release of single
Trippin
earlier this year, and now with the unveiling of
Jimi Hendrix,
he is offering a further glimpse into the infectious intensity that is sure to enshroud his upcoming mixtape.


Written as homage to the god of all things guitar
“I used to look up to Jimi…had me doin’ DUI’s, baby why I like to get high”,
Ooze penetrates the mind by turning the cliché of smokin’ weed into a complex mixture of smooth, deep beats and carnal rhyming.


The enticingly intimate track is guaranteed to take your psyche on a journey, as Ooze channels his inner 2-Pac
;
think old school '90s hip hop meets Drake.


This three minute and 24 second number is a significant step in the right direction for Ooze, highlighting his knack for combining lyrics with depth and sensual vox. This track alone could fast see him become one of Aus’ most sought after hip hop artists.


Y’all can catch Ooze in all his glory at the
Come Together
festival later this year, for more info keep a watchful eye on theGuide or check out
