Obese Records’ have recently released JASE Connection, a compilation of Australian MCs doing their thing over the top of the renowned JASE’s beats. This is a great album; a snapshot of who is who in the Aussie Hip Hop scene at the moment. The artists are from all over Australia and from various record labels making this the definitive album to have, especially for people just getting into Aussie Hip Hop.

Jase started making beats back in 1994 and since then he has formed one third of the world famous electronic act Nubreed. Jase has honed his craft on well over 50 official releases and mixes it with the best of them in all styles. He has put over 200 of his own beats into this album with most of them being customised to suit every individual MC’s style. The tracks are great, each one has its own individual style emphasised by the different MCs. My personal favourites have to be Evolution feat. Equills and The Wash feat. Urthboy both have some really phat bass lines, smooth beats and some really tight rhymes thrown down by the MCs.

As for the MCs, there are just too many to mention and truly do justice to all of them and their different styles. So make sure you check out the attached PDFs to check them all out. This album really is a must have if you haven’t heard many Aussie MC’s, a great sample of the best going around.
