Hip Hop to Heal the Land
-Bushfire Benefit-

Melbourne’s finest hip hop acts are gathering for a one off gig to raise money for the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal, ‘Healing the Land’, at the North Melbourne Meat Market on Friday 3 April.  Open to all ages to attend, Heal the Land is part of National Youth Week, which runs from 28 March to 5 April. 

‘Healing the Land’  is a rare opportunity to hear the best underground and emerging hip hop artists as they volunteer their talents to perform at one event.  You will be treated to fresh sounds, a great crowd and help raise money to assist people affected by the February fires.

Headlining ‘Healing the Land’ is a wealth of lyrical talent including the dynamic duo Mata n Must bringing their inimitable flavour; Yung Warriors and Johnny Mac & Mariki Hood inspire and have a strong following driven by support from Essendon footballer Nathan Lovett-Murray’s record label, Payback Records.  The label provides a valuable voice for Aboriginal hip hop artists and builds a sense of community.   Additional talent performing on the night includes Elf Transporter, Litigate MC, Class A with DJ Bogues, Julez, Ultra Violet, Indascene and Cam.  Each has a story to tell and each in an incomparable style that is inspired by the hip hop culture.  Why would you be anywhere else?

Tickets cost only $10 per person and all proceeds go to the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal.  ‘Healing the Land’ is open to all ages and is a drug and alcohol free event.  The City of Melbourne and the Victorian Government proudly support the event organiser, Living Music Freeza.  It consists predominantly of young people who volunteer their time and skills to gain invaluable work and life experiences.
