3THINGS HIP HOP APPROACH

Sweet beats and a longneck’s length of karma points? That’s 3Things’ Hip Hop Approach, a party bringing together Australia’s finest hip hop artists – including OziBatla, Dialectrix with Joe New and Plutonic Lab, Tuka, The Last Kinection, hosted by Kween G – all for a cause that’s just as likely to get your head nodding. 3Things, in partnership with Oxfam, works to the philosophy that most young Australians have at least three simple things they can do to make the world a better place – and taking the first step is half the battle. The artists will bounce off this thematic platform in the free-form flow of words that the genre’s lyricists do best, and there will be a live mural and handy cam on standby for others to contribute to. Now, there’s just one more thing to do – lock it in your diary. (AB)
