We sometimes need them to be able to easily identify things. But what happens when the labels have negative connotations? Do we simply not use them or do we actually try and change them? Hip hop made in Australia has a lot of diversity within it’s sound, it’s scenes and in the cultural backgrounds of the artists. To bunch it all together under the label of ‘skip hop’ is not only lazy, but offensive to some. In this song, Hau addresses this topic through passion and experience over tough, bouncing production by Sydney duo, The Goods. ‘Skip Hop’ also features the vocals of LTC - a young and exciting new artist representing our nation’s capital, Canberra It's the second single from Hau’s forthcoming debut solo LP, ‘The No End Theory’, due out September 25th on new label House of Beige. Bio Hau Latukefu lives and breathes hip hop. With 20 years of writing and performing under his belt (best known as the front man for ARIA award-winning duo, Koolism), Hau is now venturing into solo territory with the release of his mixtape, “Football, Feasts & Funerals” and his debut album “The No End Theory” due for release September 2015. His talent is both recognised and respected, providing guest vocals for local legends like The Hilltop Hoods, Urthboy and Hermitude as well as the new generation including Remi, Briggs and Mr Hill & Rahjconkas. Hau’s collaborations also extend to overseas artists including UK pioneer, Rodney P, US wordsmith, Casual and more recently, Oddisee. In 2008, Hau took the reigns as presenter and producer for the Hip Hop Show on Australia’s leading youth network, triple j – bringing his experience and vast knowledge of the culture he has been immersed in since the mid ‘80s. He continues to rule the airways, currently the longest serving presenter in the show’s history. Hau was born in Australia to Tongan parents, which gave him access to two cultures he would draw from when it came to writing lyrics and performing them on stage. His heritage plays an important part of who is as a person and as an artist. Original by name, original by style.
