Interview: Baro
Matt Farsalas chats to one of Aussie hip hop's brightest young things.. Quite simply, Baro is creating some of the smoothest hip hop in Australia right now, which is no mean feat given he's all of 17-years-old. Having caught the ear of Triple J presenters with his early work Word Smoother, his latest mixtape Howgoodisgood? has caused quite a ripple, and there's a very good chance you'll be able to catch him live in the near future, so we figured it best to get to know him a little better. Drawn from an Odd Future, Chance the Rapper and MF Doom kind of world, Baro’s tunes also hark back to the sound of A Tribe Called Quest – they come off like modern classics.
Hey man, cheers for the time, I understand you’ve been pretty busy gigging alongside UV Boi, Milwaukee Banks and the like. How have you been enjoying the live shows and licensed venues?
They have been mad. I didn’t expect to go and have people knowing words to my shit, I thought it was just going to be go, get up and perform to 1
