L-FRESH, also known as The LION, came busting out of the blocks, punching above his weight at the age of 16. By the time he had turned 18, he had completed a staggering 6 EPs. It was this drive that landed him on a national tour with hip-hop icon, Nas, on his first head line tour of Australia. By the age of 21, FRESH had performed on the same stages as Public Enemy, Xzibit, Chali 2na (Jurassic 5), DJ Qbert & MC Supernatural, as well as Australian hip-hop artists Urthboy, Phrase, Downsyde, Drapht, Pez, Astronomy Class and Horrowshow.
It was at this time that FRESH also became the ambassador of The Street University where he works as a mentor and A&R coordinator of Australia’s largest youth drop-in centre. FRESH is not only known for his MC skills but also for his passionate speeches. He has spoken at a number of different conventions, most recently at Amnesty International.
FRESH, now 22, says “I’m never satisfied and I teach kids never to be satisfied with their lot in life. I’m not a man. I’m an idea. I’m more than this flesh and blood. I want my words to live forever.”
Oh by the way, if you’re wondering why ‘The LION’, FRESH was visiting the Golden Temple in India, where a Guru sitting next to FRESH said that he had a vision of a lion standing amongst a hundred thousand people. He awoke from his vision shaking FRESH saying “You are the lion!” The name stuck
organ Lewis, known as Morganics, is a Sydney based Hip Hop performer.
Morganics started performing in Sydney in 1984 and was a member of Metabass'n'Breath who toured in Australia and America.
Morganics works around Australia on community educational hip-hop projects such as 1999s Desert Rap with Brothablack and Monkey Mark from South West Syndicate, organised with Tony Collins from Triple J. ABC TV made a documentary on Desert Rap. Another hip-hop program Morganics participated in was in Wilcania in 2002 where he recorded a group of local boys called The Wilcannia Mob. The resulting track, "Down The River" got high rotation on Triple J and won a Deadly award. The song was included on a cd of young Aboriginal Hip Hop artists recorded at workshops around Australia called All You Mob,[4] which New York Times named in their top ten alternative albums of the year. He conducts these workshop as he feels it is important to give young people direct access to Australian hip hop.
Morganics has released three solo albums (one of which contained second disc which was a followup to All You Mob) and worked with Miles Merrill on another. He has performed a live set for Triple J.
