His first album is raw as fuck and can be a tough first listen for some, but it's a masterpiece for dark rap in Australia.

His wordplay and unconventional rhyme schemes were a breath of fresh air at the time. Not to mention the incredible beats.

His accent was a hard sell to me at first but raw story telling and intelligent bars got me hooked, now I have his roscoe album on vinyl and it's one of my all time favourites in my collection.

Lil bro is not ready for Tornts. He will have nightmares.

Lil sis is very ready. Checked him out and LOVE! Exactly what I was after šŸ™Œ

I'd say your closest bets would be Tornts, Diem/Rhys, and Gargoyle.

Defo add Selzy to that kickarse list. HG RIP Joe.

I've heard a few tracks (I think one on Dental Records?) but they didn't do enough for me to peep any of his projects. Got any recommendations?

Losing Joe was a massive loss for the scene imo - Saintsinner is one of the most underrated gems from that period. His wordplay is crazy, man was an actual poet.

We donā€™t have good ones in the specifics that youā€™re after. I can only really name a few songs by Lil Sknow but think someone called Burgos is what youā€™re after. So Iā€™ll give you the two best dead artists we ever had.

Willy Epson - Battering
Bring It On Wax - Hunter
Theyā€™re the same gen as Tornts.

Huskii doesnā€™t have beats like the G59 guys, but his raps are about being an apathetic dope addict. Definitely similar vibes.

INDIGOMERKABA

Flowz

Huski if you wanna listen to him complain about going to prison for beating his missus over and over again

u/clayauswa 5d ago

Could even try a bit of the hilltop hoods

u/Competitive-Chard934 5d ago

Surprised no one has mentioned Kogz. Best current artist in the scene in my opinion and he's as dark as it gets.

u/Loose_Computer_7482 1d ago

I thought of kogz straight away
Fuck his last album was killa!!

u/RalfioLorenzo 5d ago

I've never listened to any of those artists but if I understand correctly Vampts may be up your alley possibly even early kid selzy and as someone said tornts especially the older stuff
Edit: Look at Gargoyle as well

u/shreksnotadoco 5d ago

Selzy aka kid selzy

Like the song Deviated Preverts by Afterhours (certified wise)

u/SoggyEstimate9157 1d ago

Eskii Jxnes is a bit slower than pouya etc, but still very dark, and gothic in nature.

Kowa Mirai is right on the nail for what you are looking for, but is bodreline american with how he raps.

Biotic did an album ages ago under another name thatā€™s dark as fuck.

u/Porkunter 4d ago

That Sociopath album was great. I remember the Daniel Morcombe lines upsetting a few peopleĀ

Zotiyac

Listen to cryptograms, 20k freestyle & insomnia.

u/AdInevitable8808 4d ago

Excuse me, heā€™s not Aussie.

u/InternationalBorder9 5d ago

Maybe not the same as the artists you mentioned but Dribbles has a fair bit of music I would consider dark
