If you haven’t heard about Pegz recently you must be living on another planet. Pegz has just released his new album “Axis” and it is a must have. Pegz (Previously MC Pegasus) is a Melbourne based MC, of Obese Records just around the corner from Windsor Dirt Jumps in Prahran.

I can’t find a song I don’t like on the album; all of them feature catchy back beats and clever breaks. Pegz has everything under control with smooth style, rhythm and switching in and out of tempos. The album also features some other big names of Australian hip hop such as Hilltop Hoods, Plutonic Labs and Hyjak n Torcha.

Any one out there who reckons Australian Hip Hop isn’t good should have a listen to this album. No Yankee rip off here, just Aussie hip hop at it’s finest, with Pegz’s own style consistent through out. It’s damn good to be able to listen to a good hip hop artist that is rapping about Aussie subjects, people and places.

Go and check out your local CD shop for a copy and the regular going rate, or head on over to www.obeserecords.com.

Hey Troops,

We have been absolutely flat out recently. Mostly organising new products and also new brands we will be importing into Australia. We should have a whole bunch of new stuff here soon, but it is still a bit under wraps, rest assured we will post the news and photos first here. We are also working on our corporate image, including business cards, catalogues and website re-designs, so sadly the news side of things has been a bit neglected recently!

We also have a bunch of reviews in the pipeline, NWD 6, Earthed 3 and Tuffneck Hubs.

One of these will be up by Friday, so hang in there, new content is on it’s way!

Cheers,

Ken

Looks like Aussie magazines are hearing our call for content suited to us. AMB’s latest issue has a street feature with some good riding tips and places to get started. Check out your local news agent for a copy.

JD Swanguen has joined the Haro Bikes team. We should see alot from this young man in the future. He earned a 7th place finish at the pro invitational “Banger in the Hangar” event at Woodward West against about 30 of the best MTB park riders.

JD will be competing at local, regional, and select NMBS downhill and 4X events as well as invitational MTB skatepark/dirt jump contests. As one of the top junior expert racers in the country, he is poised to earn a nomination to the Junior World Championships in New Zealand later this year.
