After honing his craft on Sydney’s burgeoning live Hip Hop and Freestyle scene, Herb is ready to take his first step into the spotlight with his debut release The Morning Sun EP.

A five-track chronicle of life in Sydney and its surrounding area, Herb uses his dexterous flow and vivid lyrical imagery to immerse the listener in the world of the characters that inhabit his stories. From the backyards of the Blue Mountains to the bars of the back streets of the Inner West, Herb has kept his eyes and ears open in order to imbue these narratives with a startling realism.

The EP is driven by a strong musical back-drop comprising an even variety of straight up hip hop bangers through moody acoustic electronica and laid-back grooves. Herb handles many of the production duties, working alongside close friend and long time co-collaborator Ivan Lisyak (Paper Scissors), who also served up the beat for “Restless Night” and mixed the EP. Stat D (13th Son, Pez, ) provides a horn-rich banger in opener “Loose Lips Sink Ships”. Cuts are provided by veteran Sydney DJ Sandro (13th Son, Ozi Batla).

Herb combines serious lyrical skill and a strong ear for song-craft with fresh, energetic production and a tight, fat sound to create an impressive debut.
