About Me
“Thundamentals shows that Ozzie hip hop is heading in the right direction†Mike G of Jungle Brothers.For four years Thundamentals have been creating a unique brand of Hip Hop combining sampology with live elements, inspired by ‘golden era hip hop‘, reggae, latin, funk, soul, world and psychedelic.Originating in the Ozzie hip hop breeding ground of the Blue Mountains, DJ Morgs, Tommy Fiasko, MC Tuka and Jeswon set out to give a predictable hip hop scene an overhaul.What sets Thundamentals apart is their dedication to composition; theirs is not a rap show, musicianship and quality of sound is forefront.Their beats are charismatic and mostly sample based, layered with rich synth textures resulting in a sound both unique and classically hip hop.MC Tuka and Jeswon are seasoned veterans of freestyling, appearing on Triple J’s Hip Hop Show. Their raps are cheeky, technical, rhythm heavy declarations throwing cheap shots at social issues. Thundamentals is party music with intelligence; that guy who is still quick witted after 10 beers.Over the last two years Thundamentals have played alongside international acts such as Qbert, Super Natural, Z-Trip, Jungle Brothers, DJ Revolution, MC Soup (Jurassic 5) Swollen Members, Lotek, Braintax, MC Mystro and DJ MK (Roots Manuva).They have also performed with some of Australia’s premier hip hop acts such as the almighty Down Under Beats Crew, The Herd, Bliss and Esso, Hermitude, TZU, Koolism, Astronomy Class, Muph 'n Plutonic, Delta, The Tongue, Diaz and Immune.They are now primarily Sydney based and are working on pushing their music to the masses. As well as their commitment to juvenile and disability fundraising and community work, the boys are always busy. Tommy Fiasko has done official remixes fro Dr Octagon and Arrested Development, MC Tuka’s lead vocals for local reggae/funk/hip hop band Rumpunch and Jeswon and DJ Morgs’s work with acts such as Down Under Beats, Chasm, Two Toes Mc Immune and Lotek.With Thundamentals, Sydney will see a diverse and innovative hip hop show, a taste of an exciting future in Ozzie hip hop.“Thundamentals are great etc †Jonathan Yeah?I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.1 I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
