    Description

    Dan the Underdog is an award winning Northern Territory based MC/producer. He has been pivotal in establishing the Northern Territory Hip Hop scene. Since his humble beginnings with Teknikal Onslaught in Darwin to taking the nation by storm with Catch The Fly, to starting Bring It ON NT Battle league with Northern Versifiers Firm, he has always been about dope beats and a live stage show.
    “Dan the Underdog has always had an incredible stage presence, we used to just stand there and rap, when he came along, he was so animated on stage, he made us want to get into it and move around too”
    – Threat3, Teknikal Onslaught
    Dan the Underdog was born in Adelaide, SA; but raised in Buffalo, NY. He started making beats from an early age, and by the time he finished High School, had already started gigging at pubs & parties and releasing albums, he used to burn them and sell them everywhere he went. Many of his friends and family fell victim to vicious cycles of drugs, violence, unemployment and the criminal justice system, much of which runs rampant in Buffalo, America’s 3rd poorest city. He decided to take another route and branch out on his own, using his dual citizenship to return to his country of origin, Australia.
    Dan the Underdog has always spread his production talent across the board, working with bands, crews, solo artists and workshop participants to help them get that sound they want. His production work on TASK’s “Out of the Darkness” got him notoriety in 2006 when TASK won NT’s emerging artist award at the Indigenous Music Awards. His production has also been featured on releases from SkankMC, Kaotik, Bellee, Scare Krow, Repeat Offenders, Muzza & Kritiek, Eskatology, NTSA, just to name a few. His day job is working with youth in indigenous communities, schools, and drop in centres to develop tracks for various workshops & projects, helping countless numbers of youth organisations win competitions and get funding, but more importantly, build up the self esteem of the young people involved. He also produced and co-wrote “Off The Brackets”, The NT Song Of The Year 2012 in the Urban category. In 2013, his production skills shone through again, taking out the Urban & People’s choice Categories with Skank MC’s “Northern Terror Story”.
    In 2012, he branched out and released a solo album “Tha Rawlest” which was met with rave reviews.
    “Tha Rawlest has a huge sound, rapid lyrical flows, excellent samples, humour and a balance of “get-up-and-go” and “kick-back-and-relax” tunes. It’s a complete album in every sense of the word, Dan’s massive 18-track project is a solid listen with a polished sound”
    – Cameron Boon, Centralian Advocate
    His first single and probably most popular song to date was Hypocrite which can still be seen getting regular plays on youtube. in 2014, Dan the Underdog released “Classical Soul” a concept album that fuses Hip Hop and Classical Music. With the bulk of the production being handled by Dan the Underdog, the classical samples chosen perfectly set the tone for this deeply personal album and gave him the platform to discuss many aspects of his life; growing up between Australia and the US, the fall out with his former band Catch The Fly, his current place in the Hip Hop scene, his family life and becoming a father, and much, much more. Fans are already calling 2015’s “Breakfast of Champions” Dan the Underdog’s best effort to date, it’s a real look into his day to day life, songs about his wife and kids, songs about growing up, deep tracks, party tracks and braggadocious lyrical tracks. Dan the Underdog’s flow is always immaculate without compromising the message, his stories are told well and never lack humour. As always, the bulk of the production is handled by Dan the Underdog, the sample driven beats are soulful and compliment his style perfectly. Features include NT Heavyweights Threat3, TASK & SkankMC, Queensland’s Big K.O.Z., International Feature TheVerce (Atlanta), even Dan’s 1 Year old son lays down some vocals for “Matty & Daddy”.
    “Dan the Underdog is the most criminally underrated rhymer in Australia” – SkankMC

    046

    • Started in 1989
    • <b>Brainstorm</b> (aka Tormentem) and <b>Devious – formerly with Dj Vame</b> pioneers of the Campbelltown Hip-Hop movement, tearimg up stages across Australia alongside<b> Def Wish Cast</b>, <b>Capital Punishment</b>, <b>Finger Lickin’ Good</b> (Groove Terminator) and <b>Intense Quality</b> (Reason). Upon the verge of <img src="http://www.hardcoreclassic.com/images/046point.jpg" width="204" height="137" align="right" border="5" />launching both their new album, and their lost tapes compilation, 046 have released the final copies of the 1995 classic “<b>L.I.F.E</b>“. This is not a newly made re-release, but the final copies that had been held for safe keeping, making this your last chance to grab this defining moment in Australian Hip-Hop history. 046 “L.I.F.E.” is available now through <b>Hardcore Classic</b>distribution. Ex-DEF WISH CAST member DJ VAME appeared behind the decks on CAPITAL PUNISHMENTs “Sentenced 2 Def” six song tape, as well as on Campbelltown locals 046 (named after their area code) thirteen track CD “Life” released in 1995 –     from Campbelltown 046 – LIFE CD – Ultra rare piece of Australian Hip-Hop history!!Released in 1995, the album is produced by DJ Vame (Def Wish Cast, Cannibal Tribe). Unused. A vital item for any Australian Hip-Hop collector! <p align="justify">Forming in 1989 as a seven man crew, and named after the regional telephone code for Sydney’s Southwest, 046 is best known as the Claymore based duo, consisting of <b>Brainstorm</b> (aka Tormentem) and <b>Devious</b>. The crew emerged alongside the forefathers of Australian Hip-Hop – such as <b>Just Us</b> and<b> Def Wish Cast</b>, and featured in numerous Australia wide tours and shows. <p align="justify">These connections brought about the production hook-up with Def Wish Cast member<b> DJ Vame</b>. The result was the 1995 album “<b>L.I.F.E</b>” (Legends In Full Effect). This was hardcore Hip Hop to it’s full. Vame’s rough production partnered with the lyricists raw delivery captured an energy and spirit rarely heard in today’s ‘safe’ Hip-Hop. The album put Campbelltown on the Australian /hip-Hop map, and influenced numerous younger emerging artists from the region. <p align="justify"><b><img src="http://www.hardcoreclassic.com/images/046austcover.jpg" width="88" height="137" align="right" border="5" /></b> <p align="justify">With Vame’s production, 046 became part of the larger <b>Dope Runner</b> crew alongside <b>Capital Punishment</b>. As a collective, Vame released the compilation/album “<b>Australiaz Most Wanted</b>” with assistant production by <b>Nayss</b>. The compilation featured remixes from the albums “LIFE” and “<b>Sentenced II Def</b>“, as well as fresh new tracks including the classic 046 and Capital Punishment collaboration, titled “<b>VOS</b>“. <p align="justify"><img src="http://www.hardcoreclassic.com/images/046posse.jpg" width="158" height="194" align="right" border="5" />After numerous tours and shows around the country, the duo began work on a follow up album with <b>DJ ASK</b>(<b>West Side Posse</b>/<b>Renegade Funktrain</b>) on production. To be title “<b>Retaliation</b>“, the project was unexpectedly cut short when ASK was drawn overseas to tour with Renegade Funktrain. With the album unmixed and indefinitely on hold, differences saw the duo spilt, and Tormentum began a long struggle with cancer. While the two stayed close, 046 was no more, and the two began appearing as soloists. <p align="justify">In the late 90s, Tormentum appeared on the “<b>Hidden Treasure</b>” compilation with a song titled “<b>Suspects</b>“. The Vame produced track featured Tormentum and original 046 member, <b>Son of Mad Dog</b>, as the duo <b>Gung Ho</b>, and included the first released verse by <b>Raw the Cannibal</b>, under the name <b>The Cannibal Tribe</b>. The Tribe returned the favour when Tormentum appeared for the track “<b>Remedy</b>” on their 1999 album “Misery”, while earlier, they collaborated on the cut “<b>The Last Run</b>” for the “<b>Basic Equipment</b>” soundtrack. <p align="justify">Devious began work in Hip-Hop workshops around the Campbelltown area, passing on his skills as one of Sydney’s most talented b-boys – and featured on the community project CD “<b>Cam(p)belltown</b>” with his solo cut “<b>Atcha</b>” produced by <b>Elee B</b>. <p align="justify">In 2003, the crew has returned, with 046 officially back in the studio working on a new album with production by <b>Thomas Rock</b>. But first, 046 are set to drop a collection of lost, and rare recordings – featuring their cuts from “Australiaz Most Wanted” and newly mastered “Retaliation”. The new collection is out soon through <b>Hardcore Classic</b> distribution. <p align="justify">Extras: <p align="justify">– In September 1994, 046 were featured in the ABC documentary “<b>Growin’ Up Fast</b>“, which compared the difference between young Thrash-metal and Hip-Hop artists. <p align="justify">– 046 also featured on the compilation, “<b>Angels Exit</b>“
