Ladies and gentlemen, it is my absolute pleasure to introduce to you the fifth installment from a group of razor sharp rappers, none of which are over 16yrs old – ‘The Colli Crew’.
This is yet another outcome from a long-term cutural media mentoring initiative developed and delivered by Toby Finlayson and Matthew Priestley from Desert Pea Media, with young people from Collarenebri Central School in Collarenebri NSW.
In June 2011, Desert Pea Media co-director Toby Finlayson and multi-platform producer Emma Morris spent 7 days in Collarenebri mentoring young people, songwriting and producing a short documentary about the journey of ‘The Colli Crew’ from young people at a small Central School on the QLD border, to a sought after hip-hop act at some of Australia’s most prominent music events such as The Aria Awards (2010) and The Stylin Up Festival (next week!).
Exciting indigenous singer/ songwriter Evie J Willie joins the kids on this new track, called ‘Talk Of The Town’, which looks at encouraging other young people to think about their decisions carefully, and contribute to creating change in their community.
Beats by Marz 1.
Please send this track around and keep promoting Australian hip hop, and the voice of indigenous young people around the country.
Keep an eye out for the Roc West remix of ‘Change The Game’, out soon.

Hi guys,
Just wanted to let you know that I reckon you’re awesome!!! So bummed I missed you at the recent Stylin’ Up festival, but I’ll be keeping an eye out for you first album that’s for sure!
Rock on, stay deadly!!!
The Collie Crew are an inspiration to all Australians. They are the type of kids to look up to.
The only thing that lets them down are the disgraceful aboriginal elders like the ones that lead the attack on the Australian Prime Minister on Australia day
