BriggsAustralian hip hop has evolved over the past 20 years to the point that it’s diversifying and sending itself in different directions at the same time. Briggs, the self-made king of Shepparton, is not distracted by shiny production or catchy choruses with SHEPLIFE; instead he’s taken up the mantle of young-kid-done-right-by-lowering-his-eyes-and-focusing-on-what-matters-to-him.
By honing in on his hometown for inspiration, Briggs delivers a punchy yet thoughtful record, with plenty of attitude (see My People for example) but also with a vision that reflects the turbulent rural upbringing many young Australians experience.
