Perth native Coin Banks earlier this year released his long awaited debut solo EP Heads. Featuring local legend Ta-ku, Heads is an exciting underground hip hop release from an incredibly talented lyricist and rapper.
Coin draws on inspiration from the Native Tongue Movement and its modern day equivalent, Top Dawg Entertainment – home to Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q. Coin also draws on inspiration from every day life. He says,“I am a huge music fan. I am a fan before I am an artist. I want to make people feel the same way that a De La Soul song made me feel. Life’s experiences are a big influence on me – love, girls and philosophy. For me Hip-Hop is essentially soul music, so it’s the pains and joys in my life that inspire me to create”.
To celebrate Heads, Coin has released the video to killer single ‘Thomas Lawrence’ and announced a national tour.
