Allday is already heading out around Australia as support for Illy on his national tour in September and performing at the forthcoming Sprung Hip Hop Festival, and now the genre-defying hip hop artist’s latest mixtape release, Soon I’ll Be In Cali 2, is available as he gears up for his latest trek.
Released this week to massive online buzz, with tens of thousands of downloads and streams so far, the 16 track release is the latest in a string of highlights for the prolific artist and performer.
Having forgone a pro basketball career to pursue music, 2013 has been epic. Allday’s first real single ‘So Good’ scored #91 in the Triple J Hottest 100, and an amazing crowd flocked to his sets at festivals including Big Day Out, Pushover, St Kilda Festival, Groovin’ The Moo Bunbury, and Come Together. Meanwhile his EP Loners Are Cool smashed into #18 in the ARIA Charts, snared #1 on the iTunes hip hop chart, and #1 on the AIR Charts, all helping to secure a support slot with Enimem’s protégé Yelawolf (A$AP Rocky stole Allday’s jacket at the airport, too, but that’s another story).
Allday’s clever observational style and melodic lyrical flows slide over sophisticated beats. Stylish, new wave hip hop with heart, Allday creates electric songs that are connecting far and wide, and in September/October Allday is set to play shows with Illy, and hit Sprung Festival.
Allday has continued to add to his list of accolades with the New World Artists talent receiving the Triple j Unearthed pick of the week from Dave Ruby Howe for his track ‘Powder (Prod. Akouo)’. You can listen and download Allday’s new mixtape Soon I’ll Be In Cali 2 below, and catch Allday live as he plays support (alongside Tuka and Elemont) on Illy’s September Australian Tour.
