FBi RadioCult Shφtta are signaling a new wave of Aussie hip hop.
Boomin’ beats and blistering bars from Western Sydney’s breakout hip-hop duo
Western Sydney’s hip-hop scene has given us no shortage of breakout acts in recent years – and Cult Shφtta just might be one of its best. Since emerging in 2018, the duo – rapper and E11even and hypeman lilgolo – have blown up with their eccentric Y2K fashion, electric stage presence and eclectic tracks like “Beamin”, “250” and “everytime we fvck”. Growing up with the influence of Pharrell, Kanye and A Tribe Called Quest, the childhood friends took their love of classic rap and infused it with drill, trap and techno to create a distinctive sound that has taken Aussie hip-hop scene by storm. Their performances at Splendour in the Grass, Field Day and Hard Grime led to a sold-out headlining tour in 2022, and they’ve since shared the stage with iconic including Lil Uzi Vert, Future anf Ghostface Killah.
This is Cult Shφtta’s Vivid LIVE debut – and it’s going to be huge.
