Armed with intellect, ability and flair, Dialectrix, is the latest member of the Obese Records family lighting a fire under the Australian hip hopindustry. Consciously thematic and with words deeply personal, his debut album, Cycles of Survival, is a work both polished and introspective. With production spearheaded by renowned artist and labelmate Chasm, Cycles of Survival is the genre's return from the sanitised wilderness of cafe hip hop and bogan rap. Its intellect is as sharp as its potency, its reach as profound as its scope, and its appeal as widespread as the lives we lead. The Dialectrix manifesto is irrefutable. As the dawn arrives on a new day, we are awakened to the changing sound, the era begins, the ace amongst a new generation of kings.
