Kerser returns in 2013, this time teaming up with brother and best mate, Rates for ‘We Here Now’.

The stand alone single is now available on iTunes as a digital 3 track package, including radio edit, instrumental and accapella.

This past year has been intense for the Campbelltown emcee. With increased notoriety, Kerser has endured the biggest transition of his life, not to mention the most isolating.

‘We Here Now’ is a rags-to-riches tale, contrasting between an optimistic present and days survived.

On writing and performing with Rates:
“It’s the best ay. ‘Cause he’s my brother, but he’s my best mate. So it’s a dream come true, we’ve both been working together for years and years. We both think the same.” -Kerser

With production by long-time beat benefactor Nebs, ‘We Here Now’ is upbeat and features old-school samples and heavy drums.

Due to the overwhelmingly positive response to his No Rest For the Sickest Tour early this year, Kerser, along with Rates, hit the road again, this time focusing on regional areas all across the country . The We Here Now Tour will commence in June of 2013. Dates and further info to be announced soon.

Release Date: 24/03/13

After a very successful 2012 centred around his widely revered album This is How We Never Die, Chasm has returned in 2013 with a fresh approach to releasing his music.

The Chasm EP series, the first of which is set for release on March 15^th this year, will comprise of four separate digital releases, each featuring a different vocal artist. The collaborations, in true Chasm style, will spotlight artists from his international network including Guilty Simpson (USA), Blak Twang (UK), and our very own Monchichi (AUS), Skryptcha & Rachael Berry (AUS).

The first EP from the series ‘Diamond Cuts’, features Chasm’s long time collaborators Skryptcha and Rachael Berry.

Chasm first worked alongside Skryptcha producing the Sydney emcee’s debut EP ‘Left to Write’. The two then collaborated on Skryptcha’s first LP The Numbers in 2010, which included hit single ‘Get Mine’ featuring Rachael Berry’s velvety vocals on the hook. Berry and Chasm went on to work on new songs together, which unfortunately never saw the light of day. Recently during a studio session for Skryptcha‘s mixtape The Summer, Skryp heard the unfinished tracks and knew he had to rap over them. Thus the EP came together.

‘Diamond Cuts’ – polishing up rediscovered gems from the vaults.

The first single from Diamond Cuts is ‘Oo La La La’ is an up-tempo, vibing, straight up party number. Featuring an impressive verse from the bilingual Ozi Batla (The Herd), ‘Oo La La La’ is all funk guitars, accented claps, and a signature hook from Berry.

Release Date: 15.03.2013
