There is something about the rapper known as Hykoo (AKA Lachlan Jones) you cant put your finger on. Trying to pigeonhole his style is near impossible. Think Eminem meets Sage Francis only Australian and drunk.Hykoo somehow blends all the qualities of a great rapper into one mysterious package. Intelligent, witty, deep, dark, satirical and street, Hykoo really is an exciting rapper.In 2003 Hykoo dropped his first release Pigeon Whole Hearted with his crew (Awakenings) through his own label Awakenings Records. Hykoo followed up with Rap Songs Meow in 04 with fellow crew member Osinaka, before featuring more recently on the Chasm E.P. and a barrage of guest appearance including tracks on FBI Presents, Stolen Records and Straight from the Art Vol. 2.Although Hykoo still represents the Awakenings crew, it was time for him to flip the script yet again. Hykoo was to go deep underground to write and record the next chapter in the Hykoo saga. The next installment, His debut L.P. The Crooked Unseen is a culmination of his relentless determination to bring a record of versatility and skills never before heard from an Australian rapper.

Hykoo has preformed along side many big names including, Atmosphere and Sage Francis.Although it would seem that Hykoo has already had an illustrious career in hip-hop, it is only now that Hykoo has stepped out from the shadows into the limelight and is ready to write the next chapter in the Hykoo story . . . May the saga continue.
