What is a particular moment that stands out and what is a goal you always envisioned?Įissa: Big Sound was one of our best moments show-wise because we got all these people in suits to get down for ‘Woof’. You’ve played decent-sized crowds and toured the east coast of Australia. People are doing better than they were before and the quality of the music is sounding better. Moey: A lot more trap music and I think a lot more people are willing to do things without caring what people think of them.Įissa: There are a few artists in the past few years that have evolved their sound. What are some developments you’ve seen in the Melbourne music scene since you started? We like to incorporate that into the music We have watched a lot of shows and films and made a lot of music throughout it. Can you give us any reason for that?īeluga: Pop Culture especially since this lockdown period we have soaked up a lot of content. I noticed a lot of pop culture and film references in your songs.
Moey: There’s a lot that we like Manny Mula, YKM, Boy Ace, Babyfacemal, Pania, Mulalo and Agung Mango. Who are some local artists you’ve been listening to and keeping your eye on? Coming back to it with a fresh mind and making the best structural song we have made. I woke up and added parts to the song and basically it was a couple of days going back and forth.
Beluga pulled up the beat and started working on it when I slept. You recently dropped your single Swipe can you tell us about the song and how it came about?Įissa: Benny Lago produced the song during lockdown, and he sent it over while I was asleep. We realised something was missing in the culture, so we started working on 3K. We clicked through music and started creating after seeing a lot of local shows. I met Moey through Benny and we would go to parties, shows and all kinds of gigs. We all connected when we first met up outside of University and went to shows and Eissa would come down from Canberra before eventually moving to Melbourne. We caught up with 3K to hear more about their rapid growth, their evolving sound and their reference-loaded raps.Ĭan you tell us about yourselves and how you got into music?īeluga: Back when we linked up, we went to shows and saw a lot of live performances. Following a 2020 that was tainted by pandemics and cancellations, 3K are gearing up for a considerably bigger 2021. In the few short years since 3K burst onto the scene they have been able to watch their supporters grow cult-like. With a steady ascension in Melbourne’s music scene over the past 3 years, we’ve seen 3K drop their debut EP Don’t Panic, a collaborative project alongside Agung Mango in 2019 titled OPENFORBUSINESS, and a string of hype singles including the Hamley-produced ‘Bring a Friend’ and most recently ‘Swipe’. Rappers Beluga, Eissa and rapper/producer Benny Lago make up the vocalists in 3K, each boasting distinct flows and delivery, meanwhile, DJ and manager Moey holds it down on the business end. 3K was formed in 2017 by Melbourne friends Moey, Eissa, Beluga, and Benny Lago with an aim to represent Melbourne’s postcode as a growth corridor for Hip Hop music.
