PREMIERE: TELL - 'Life (Is A Mother Fucker)'

More Mantra Mantra

There’s an earnest intensity stemming from the latest work from two of Melbourne’s most esteemed rappers, Mantra and Grey Ghost.

After honing their craft and individual styles through a string of other cuts and collaborations, they’ve finally joined forces for the highly anticipated Tell, and while it may be billed as a side project for the musos, it could quite easily take over and become so much more.

Life (Is A Mother Fucker) is, as its title suggests, a song that many can relate to, and is delivered through a compelling contrast of both rappers' styles. It's an instant winner, with a film clip just as engaging.
