The Pride Of Queanbeyan returns to The Betoota Advocate Podcast this week to discuss the rise of Australian Hip Hop over the last three years. It's been roughly that long since we last spoke to him and Hauie has pivoted from artist to pioneer. From OneFour to Sampa The Great, to The Kid Laroi, he was there in the studio before anyone knew their names. Hau has this week published his memoir, titled KING, which is the Tongan translation of his own name - and also a metaphor for his selfless contributions to hip hop in this country.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hau Latukefu is the influencing voice of Australian hip-hop.  He has introduced Aussie audiences to The Kid LAROI, Sampa The Great, Remi, and ONEFOUR.  Now working with emerging artists through his imprint of Sony Music, Forever Ever Records, Hau has remained a central part of Australia's music scene for the best two decades.  King: Life, Death and Hip Hop, written with journalist Christopher Riley https://www.penguin.com.au/books/king-9781761046308 VOTE FOR STRAIGHT TALK PODCAST https://australianpodcastawards.com/vote BUY TICKETS TO RESET AND RISE TOUR https://bit.ly/3Sftjgl Join the Facebook Group.
