THE LINK (NEW TRACK UP, DROP FEEDBACK)

"I make my own grain and go against it"

About Me

THE LINK (aka Spiderfingaz) is an MC/producer based in adelaide in the south of Australia. He has been a microphone fiend since the early 80s when his father introduced him to Grandmaster flash via "The message", by the late 80s he was reciting the rhymes of Rakim, PE and RUN DMC to his buddies in the 6th grade. In his teens he progressed from a biter to a writer and at the same time started learning several musical instruments and honing his production skills.After several years finessing his craft THE LINK started commiting his work to disc, culminating in the recording of three demos in the new millenium. These feature raw recordings of material to be featured on his first two albums, which are scripted to completion and awaiting recording.THE LINK has been described as one of the great australian MCs. He raps with an intricate flow about topics ranging from the introspective, social commentary, battle raps, horror flicks, music and more, always staying true to his environment. His beats range from the traditional to the progressive and underground to the mainstream (but never pop).As a producer THE LINK is always sending out beat discs to potential clients, so if you're an MC shopping for beats you can hit him up with your POBOX for his latest beats, or you can check out the soundclick link above to hear them.Stay tuned............
