The second addition to the Diafrix legacy, Pocket Full Of Dreams explores the diversity of new age Australian hip-hop and enlightens listeners with a taste of African influenced rhythm and beat.
The Melbourne based duo of Momo and Azmarino display their array of articulate vocal versatility that phases from deep soulful melodies to upbeat and rhythmic stanzas.
Best showcased in tracks such as ‘Better With You’ (Feat. Dwele) and marquee track, ‘Simple Man’, which features the vocal tailoring of fellow Melbournian, Daniel Merriweather.
Stylistically, the album reintroduces many 90s hip-hop themes, jubilantly jogging the memory of many early Australian hip-hop enthusiasts.
The pair have come a long way since the release of their first album, 2009’s Concrete Jungle. Not only has the pair clearly defined their style in this breakthrough album, their name as a serious player in the Australian hip-hop scene has just reached a new high, with support coming from all over the genre’s community.
Lending a hand on the album is a catalogue of superstar talents such as 2009 Australian Idol Winner Stan Walker, genre pioneer N’fa Jones of 1200 Techniques, and chart-topping emcee 360; as well as proficient production support from the likes of M-Phazes, Styals Fuego and Ptereo Stylus.
Pocket Full Of Dreams is bound to be the group’s gateway to masses of well-deserved attention from all Australian music fanatics.
