I go by the name of Limerik and I would like to thank you first off for simply visiting my page and dropping by. I am 18 and I have been writing since January 2007; however the Hip Hop has been with me for many years prior to picking up the pen and the initiative had come from the notion; “Sick Of Listening, Time To Start Making†(Plight Records) and I have kept at it all the time since.
I have a passion for the Australian Hip-Hop Scene, which has ultimately driven me to make my own music and to hopefully pursuit a mutual career in the industry. The songs that I currently write are about a broad range of issues, ranging from Current Affairs, Life, Hip Hop Culture and Myself. The reason for this is because I am still young and have many things ahead of me in life, which I will ultimately someday pursuit and have the need and passion to write about.
Most people cringe when they hear Aussie MC’s spitting in their native tongue, but for me it was an immediate attraction like flies on shit. I like the Australian Hip-Hop scene is because I can relate to the songs that get churned out and there’s no time for frontin’ therefore all of the shit out there is REAL. Since becoming aware of this there was nothing that I would rather do then portray a similar angle with my music and write about the real shit that matters.
The production angle on my music is relatively "Bedroom Style", in the sense of mastering and recording. I obtain beats from various instrumental makers on the internet; Dj Millz, Devize, Anno Domini and then I write my lyrics to the selected beats and record them on my computer with a budget ass microphone and try my best to make my work shine. I do not own exclusive rights and have licenses for the beats and I mainly obtain them under free lease however my music is purely for promotional purposes only and I do not make a profit in any way.
I have only made one official release and that was for my; Mixtape which dropped in early 2008. I would not be in the place I am in at the moment if it wasn’t for all of those beat makers out there on the internet and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart! Wrapping it up in conclusion if you like my music, want to comment me or add me, want to hook up for collabs or even help me out getting somewhere in this scene; gigs or advice just hit me up and spread the word, tell your mates, your brothers and your sisters because Limerik is coming up!
