Here at Tone Deaf we’re recently been shouting praises of ‘the next wave’ of Aussie hip hop and one new artist we’ve getting pretty excited for is Melbourne MC Ivan Ooze.

The talented indie rapper has just dropped ‘Trippin” the lead single from the upcoming Ivan Ooze mixtape, as explained by Ooze, ‘Trippin” is about “a time when my mother thought chasing a career in music was more a dream that a realistic job. It breaks down the lows of what we both felt and that attitude we both had of never give up on something or someone that you love.”

It’s been a pretty wild 2014 for the rapper following the release of his debut EP Ringwood Rich. And with only a little over a month left it’s set to get even bigger, Ooze is set to support none other than hip hop legends Ice Cube and Cypress Hill which will be followed by a New Years Eve set at Beyond The Valley festival. Before you catch him live check out ‘Trippin” and visit his Facebook page.
