As you wait for the video to load, consider this.

Just about every scruffy social misfit you talk to these days reckon they are into hiphop. At least half of those kids reckon they can rap themselves. But how many times at a party or dodgy bus station have you ever actually seen them throw down some solid freestyle? How many times do you feel like saying "is that the best you can do"?

Meet unsigned Sydney artist Malakai.

This guy had more style and flow hanging out on his porch than some guys I've seen supporting the biggest name acts from around the world. With barely a look, he and his partner in crime Nic seamlessly rolled out the rhymes back and forth until either needed a beer or the record simply stopped playing.

THIS IS WHAT THESE GUYS DO.
They would do it if you liked it and they would do it even more if you don't.

Few artists would have the balls to approach a sponsor as large and as respected as Analog but few artists have the self belief and the talent required to attempt such a mission. As you can see from the Analog global advertisement below, they saw his potential and have already paid him back generously by supporting the release of his debut Mixtape, featured below.

All of this just goes to show, if you have a talent you want the world to see, its worth talking yourself up.

THE MIXTAPE HAS 22 TRACKS, RUNS FOR ABOUT 70 MINUETS AND IS A SMALL COLLECTION OF SOME OF THE MUSIC WE BEEN PUMPING OUT OF THE BEDROOM. IT WAS PUT TOGETHER BY PROPH1 AND INCLUDES A SELECTION OF HIS FINE PRODUCTION. IT FEATURES COLLABORATIONS WITH YOUNG BIZWARR, ESKE THE MUG, F.STOKES, OCTA FROM FRANCE, FINEPRINT, D-CYPHA, BOSSY BEATS, TORY BLACK FAC AND ALONG THE WAY IS RIDDLED WITH FAMILIAR SONGS BY ARTISTS SUCH AS GNARLES BARKLEY, TALKING HEADS, COLD WAR KIDS, ROLLING STONES AND RITCHIE SPICE. ALL GIVEN A SPECIAL TOUCH. IT'S THE FIRST INSTALMENT AND A TASTE OF WHAT WE GOT, WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US AND WHATS TO COME.

Whats your favourite track on the mix tape and why.
THERES MANY DIFFERENT MOODS LACED THROUGH OUT THE MIXTAPE.

I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON WHAT MOOD IM IN.

BUT IF I WAS GOING TO SHOW ONE PERSON ONE SONG TO TRY AND CONVINCE THEM THEY WANNA MIXTAPE, ID PROBALLY SAY 'HUNG OUT TO DRY' MAYBE.

Whats your favourite artists in music scene.
DEPENDS ON WHAT MUSIC SCENE YOUR TALKING ABOUT. THE HIP-HOP SCENE ID HAVE TO SAY UK OUTFIT, TASKFORCE, MFTC BLUD.
