ARTIST PACKAGE
To say that Hobart has a hip hop scene active enough to
rival the main Australian cities would be a bit of a stretch,
but among a
handful of hard working hip hop artists who’ve managed
to find a pinch of success, one MC in particular has stood
Seasoned Tasmanian rapper Dunn D started raising a few eyebrows as an MC in the live funk flavored, hip-hop band
‘Unleash The Nugget’ throughout early 2002. Dunn D has previously performed at music festivals such as The Falls
Festival, Big Day Out an Sprung Festival, further going onto to release an EP tiled ‘The Illustrated Guide to
Rifles and Submachine Guns’.
Through out the following years Dunn D began taking part in local freestyle battles, as well as performing and
recording as part of ‘Heads of State’ alongside Tasmanian hip hop veterans DJ Dameza, DJ Grotesque and Mdusu.
The group released a full length album in 2007 titles ‘Making the Best of What We’ve Got’, before eventually
disbanding in 2008. From there DunnD began focusing on his solo material, enlisting the help of Launceston hip hop
producer Akouo for the production of his debut solo album which was released in early 2012.
Follow the release of his self-entitled LP, Dunn D spent the majority of the year moving crowds around Australia with
his energetic, comical, and often in-your-face style. A testament to his passion for live performance, Dunn D has
shared stages with the likes of: GZA, Xzibit, Chali 2na, Funkoars, Bliss n Eso, Illy, Koolism, D’Opus & Roshambo, The
Herd, Simplex, Muph & Plutonic, K21, Classified, Pegz, Snob Scrilla, Urthboy & Downsyde just to name a few. AS well
as remaining active on stage and in the studio, Dunn D is a mainstay in the Australian battle rap scene, having had
some classic
match-ups against heavyweights such as Kerser, Greeley, Planz, Fluence, Cryptic, Gabi & Lou Lou, Devast8R, Cortex,
Lethal and Mike Pipes, thus cementing his status as one of our country's top tier battlers.
Currently Dunn D is about to release his sophomore album ‘The Pelican L.P’ independently, with the production from
Hobart heavyweights DaVinci & Mdusu, and guest features Manaz III, Greeley & Fluence. ‘The Pelican L.P’ is a fresh
take on the style Dunn D is renowned for, blending inelegant rhyme schemes, infectious melody’s and banging
beats in order to create an album with a sound as unique as its name. Stay tuned for Dunn D’s ‘The Pelican L.P’ out
12th July 2013.
