Down the Mountains into Marrickville, Tim Levinson - aka Urthboy - has gone from serving up $3.40 bags of fresh hip-hop to a national tour with Paul Kelly. He stands as one of the most interesting, intelligent and staunchly-independent figures in Australian music; the head honcho of Elefant Traks, a  noted solo artist and one-eighth of legendary Sydney crew The Herd. In a rare extended interview, Urthy opens up his private universe and discusses nurturing his love of hip-hop, branching out on his own and how the Elefant in the room has been making noise recently.

Urthboy's two new singles, "1100 Hours (The Comment Section)" and "765 Hours (W.A.R.)" are out now.

They can be streamed here:

Across over ten years of going to shows, I've met countless fascinating people that are joined together by the fact I love their music. This is a medium in which I look to find out the bigger picture, the extended story and the journey that brought them to where they are. No genre or topic is off limits. I'm David James Young - and all my friends are in bar bands.
