Abstract

Nick Sweepah and Aux-One's debut EP is indicative of a new order in Australian rap. Aux-One's intricate rap guides Sweepah's poetics. Dim 'hiding holes in Richmond' temper tracks 'Ghost Mutt' and 'Adrenachrome' with a sense of the ominous. Others such as 'Lalrelindorenan' and 'Created in Your Image' are lit by the brightness of 'strobe lights there'.
