Rap News with Assange cameo



The Rap News team have come up with goods again in this, their 5th episode. It is as pithy, eloquent and on-point as is true to form, and they somehow managed to get a cameo with Julian Assange. Rap News is produced by Melbourne dwellers, Giordano Nanni and Hugo Farrant. Hugo is a prominent and vocal fixture in the Melbourne music scene and is regularly seen performing around town and guesting with many popular local acts like Spoonbill, Miso, Dub The Magic Dragon, Elf Tranzporter and a multitude of others. While he is mostly seen freestyling his flows [his ability to rhyme cleverly off the top of his head is impressive and was most clearly demonstrated to me at a warehouse party in Brunswick where as a sideshow act he was rapping for $1 per minute of whichever topic or topics you chose..] it is evident that his written ability is just as strong.
It's great to see that there is a movement of people in Melbourne, and around the world, who are rally to support Wikileaks and truth in different ways.
Notably, Asher Wolf has been massively engaged and proactive and has been behind creating Wikileaks Central, an unofficial information hub.
