This episode of Sound as Ever began with a focus on the themes of identity and belonging, using Zambian born artist Sampa the Great’s track Black Girl Magik, which draws attention to a lack of non-Anglo representation in the culture of her new home of Australia. The story became one of immigration and cultural representation, with a window to the music and stories of African-Australian artists. We highlight the changing direction of domestic hip hop while celebrating a wave of new talent garnering major label attention.
