GEELONGS PREMIRE MC, FATTY PHEW, TAKES THE CROWN FOR THE GEELONG HIPHOP SCENE. SINCE 1999 HIS NAME HAS BEEN SYNOMONOUS WITH THE CITY. BUILDING HIS PROFILE AND MAKING NOISE WITH LIVE RADIO VERSES, LIVE SHOWS AND A ARESENAL OF MIXTAPES AND TRACKS PROVE HE AINT NEW TO IT. AT 15, DROPPIN LIVE VERSUS ON PBS’S FORMULA, AND DESTROYING THE INFAMOUS FORMULA BATTLE, FATTY PHEW MADE A NAME FOR HIMSELF AS SOMEONE WHO DESERVES HIS PLACE.
BORN AND BRED IN GEELONG, PHEW STARTED SPITTIN’ IN 97, AND HAS ALWAYS STAYED TRUE TO HIMSELF AND HIS MUSIC FROM THE WORD GET GO. LEAVING SCHOOL AT A VERY EARLY AGE GAVE PHEW THE LIFE EXPERIENCE, DETERMINATION AND DEDICATION TO PUT HIS HEART AND SOUL INTO HIS MUSIC. IN 1999 PHEW BOUGHT HIS NAME FURTHER THEN HIS CITY, PERFORMING LIVE AT THE MONSTOROUS ‘CULTURE OF KINGS’ MELBOURNE LAUNCH. OVER THE NEXT YEAR, HE WOULD ONSLAUGHT THE SCENE WITH LIVE RADIO PERFORMANCES ON THE ‘FORMULA’, AND FROM THERE THE NAME HAD STARTED. 2003 SAW THE PUSH OF HIS DEMO INTO THE HANDS OF THE LISTENERS AND BY 2005 THE MIGHTY ‘HUNGRY HUMANS’ HAD BEGUN AND THE SCENE WAS READY FOR SOME REAL NOISE. INFLUENCED BY THE RAW UNDERGROUND SCENE IN THE COUNTRY, AND INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS LIKE BIG L, MR.METAPHOR AND BLOCK MCCLOUD FROM THE BROOKLYN ACADEMY, MEANT PHEW WAS ALL ABOUT THE LYRICAL SKILL.
IN 2007, 10 YEARS AFTER IT BEGAN, PHEW IS READY TO RELEASE HIS LIFES WORK, “23 YEARS IN THE MAKING”. THE FULL LENGTH CONSISTS OF 10 STRAIGHT TRACKS OF VERSATILITY AND REALNESS. THE RUGGED AND RAW, AND THE HEART FELT TRUTH. PRODUCED ENTIRELY BY FATTY PHEW, THE SOUNDS RANGES FROM THE EASY LISTENING OF DRIVING IN YOUR CAR, TO THE BANGING BLOOD BOILED FUEL THAT GETS THE HEART RACING. WITH FEATURES FROM SOME OF THE MOST TALENTED MC’S OUT THERE, PHEW DESTROYS A TRACK WITH HIS LONG TIME PARTNER IN RHYME ‘AUTISM’, GIVES WHAT THE LISTENER NEEDS WITH THE BEAUTIFUL ‘CLASS A’, SHOWS SOME NEW TALENT ABOUT TO BREAK THROUGH WITH THE GEELONG MC ‘SPIT’, AND POLISHED OFF BY 2006 AUSTRALIAN DMC CHAMPION DJ PERPLEX BRINGING THE CUTS.
SO NOW, 23 YEARS SINCE IT ALL STARTED, PHEW IS READY TO TAKE HIS PLACE IN THE SCENE WITH “23 YEARS IN THE MAKING”.
“I’ve been looking forward to this for years now…
Fatty Phew has a great ability to speak completely from the heart on tracks with a rugged and free vocal delivery. His style varies from outwardly aggressive to introspective and everything in between.
Songs like ‘Inspiration’ demonstrate how hip hop coupled with melodic singing should sound.
‘Sexy Beats’ is a hype song with lyrics that conjure up crazy imagery. ‘The Cypher’ will no doubt be touted as a classic & that song ‘Nightmare’ featuring Autism is totally off the planet!
At last… The Phewcha is here.”
