Band Members: If Santa doesn’t come thru for you this December don’t fret because positive rap duo Usual Suspects are giving you their long awaited debut album for Christmas! An official thanks to fans, this release is the Usual Suspects practicing what they preach.

From ironic glee to geek faced braggadocio, Hire Learning is a show case of Saia and Sam’s maturity in music and mind (and spirit). Their trade mark sense of humour and quirk-hop beats remain intact but the music has developed beyond punch lines to include social commentary and a broader palette of ideas and experiences all of which come through in the album’s 12 tracks.

With Saia at his beat-making-prime (as well as rapping up a storm) and Sam exploring both personal and political themes in song and spoken word, the album will give you something with substance to ponder over this holiday season while everyone else endures carols and Keith Richards .

The mainly self produced album also features guest production from Breakin Wreckwordz in-house producer Exile and rap collaborations with Ethical (Kidz in Space), Tyson Tyler, and Arme amongst others.

This Christmas, be grateful for musicians like these.

THE HIRE LEARNING ALBUM WILL BE GIVEN AWAY ONE TRACK A DAY OVER THE 12 DAYS OF XMAS COMMENCING DEC 13TH
