Baker Boy ProfileIndigenous rapper Baker Boy features on the highly-anticipated contemporary update of Yothu Yindi's iconic protest anthem, Treaty.
The new Treaty '18 jam by Yothu Yindi and Filthy Lucre's Gavin Campbell also includes a host of emerging Indigenous talent who guest alongside the young Yolngu rap star, including Dhapanbal Yunupingu - daughter of the band’s late frontman Dr M Yunupingu - and stunning Yolngu vocalist Yirrnga Yunupingu, as well as an additional rap in the third verse from Baker Boy’s MC and collaborator, Dallas Woods.
Treaty ’18 is the latest addition to the 25th anniversary collection of new remixes commissioned by Campbell, who reunited with Yothu Yindi on what has become an on-going collaboration.

"When [producer Jerome Farah] sent me his first draft of this version of Treaty, it conjured up that same feeling of excitement I had when Robert Goodge, Paul Main and I finished work on our Filthy Lucre remix all those years ago," Campbell said.
"In addition to featuring such a stellar artist as Baker Boy, Razor is very proud to be highlighting young singers from our new live show Yothu Yindi & The Treaty Project, particularly Dr M’s daughter Dhapanbal. Let’s start the chant again!"
