The Best Indie Songs of 2014 - Joelistics

 



Joelistics Say I’m Good  (May'14) oozes rebel attitude. As the song says “I am not another voice in the choir”. What the fuck this ain’t gangster rap?

That’s right Timmy. Thinking man’s hip hop need not be an oxymoron.


 
  

 
 
 

Joelistics is Joel Ma a member of the group TZU spitting out of Melbourne. He’s been telling it straight for over a decade.

Say I’m Good is off Joelistic's second solo album The Blue Volume (June'14) and rails, in part, against Australia’s mainstream preoccupation with xenophobia.

How do you know you are in Australia? The clocks are set back 200 years. Just kidding Skippys!

Want more Joelistics tracks? It’s all good, check out Out Of The Blue and In The Morning.






By rights any talk of Oz hip-hop would be remiss without mention of The Hilltop Hoods. So consider them mentioned because here are the mighty Butterfingers with the best Aussie hip hop to ever make it on vinyl FIGJAM (2005).

They are right they are fucking good.
