Sixteen-year-old DRIZZZ has been named the triple j Unearthed High winner for 2025.
Winning the competition with an authentic flow, energetic bars, and unparalleled heavy vibes, DRIZZZ has been impressing the Unearthed crew since his drill track, Who’s Dat!, landed in mid-July.
Already regarded as one of the most exciting voices in Australian hip-hop, triple j Unearthed Music Director Claire Mooney said of the South-West Sydney-based artist: “It’s impossible to ignore an Unearthed High entry that crashes through the noise with as much confidence, charisma, and energy as sixteen-year-old DRIZZZ.
“Who’s Dat is a statement track, one so impressive we had to double-check his age! Razor-sharp bars, flow and presence that hits instantly, boosted with the slickest UK Hip Hop production, DRIZZZ is already sounding ready for the big leagues. One of the most exciting voices we’ve heard all year, and we’re so proud to crown DRIZZZ as our new Unearthed High champion!”
