PREMIERE: Mantra Suffered For His Art On New Grey Ghost Collab

Our track by track series with Melbourne MC Mantra continues today, with the rapper breaking down not one, but three songs that will feature on his upcoming album Telling Scenes.

One of the tracks he talks about is Energy, his collaboration with fellow Melburnian rhymer Grey Ghost and Swede Promoe of Looptroop fame. Even though the process to put together the track was something the rapper thoroughly enjoyed with his counterparts, there was a slight weather issue that made the vocal tracking process a tad sweaty. But as Mantra says, "you gotta suffer for your art!" Check out the video below.

The MC also gives us the lowdown on the very candid Quicksilver, which in a rare move, he also sings on and the first jam he wrote for Telling Scenes, Learn Your Language. Watch 'em now.

The album drops via Ten To Two Records on Friday 13 September. And you can also catch the rapper live at the following dates throughout September and October on his just announced tour. Tickets go on sale Thursday 15 August at 9am.
