9 X OUT OF 10 - Dallas Woods
9 x out of 10 raps about the power-trip police have in remote aboriginal communities and their overt presence being a normal occurrence to the residents living there. Dallas Woods raps with clever humour about the stigma of being young, black and breaking the cycle of oppression from within community.

9 X OUT OF 10 - Dallas Woods
Chorus
im really not that scared of nothing
but if police roll up then im running
coz 9 times out of 10 im up to something 
man i blame it on the town that i grew up in
blame it on the town that i grew up in (thats that EK that EK)
please the police they please they self
even with ur hand up it don't mean they gone help
if u young black and gifted they reach for the belt
if u young black and gifted u going to jail 

verse 1
my momma raised me well
considering i was raised in hell
raise the issue that most of these kids are raised in jail
no help they had to raise they self 
role models non existent using survival instinct 
tryna revive my district 
trying to give life to this over used suicidal system 
feeling trapped in they own mind there prison self inflicted 
time is ticking they need to make a decision 
weather its gonna be cemeteries or finding religion 
if ur pigment is different 
u fit the description 
then shipped of to prison 
thats how we living

chorus
im really not that scared of nothing
but if police roll up then im running
coz 9 times out of 10 im up to something 
man i blame it on the town that i grew up in
 blame it on the town that i grew up in (thats that EK that EK)
please the police they please they self
even with ur hand up it don't mean they gone help
if u young black and gifted they reach for the belt
if u young black and gifted u going to jail 

verse 2
we used to play cops and robbers
now we hate cops and dodge em  
like excuse me mr officer 
with that gun and badge u seem to be mr popular 
i talk to u and your hands straight to were ur pockets are 
locked and loaded 
man only fear jail coz im claustrophobic
other than that talk smack and get your dome split 
brothers gone away calling in like everyday
so for them i got to make let nothing get in my way 
i see fellow aboriginals 
u see felons and criminals 
breaking stigmas political
im just painting the visual 

chorus
im really not that scared of nothing
but if police roll up then im running
coz 9 times out of 10 im up to something 
man i blame it on the town that i grew up in
 blame it on the town that i grew up in (thats that EK that EK)
please the police they please they self
even with ur hand up it don't mean they gone help
if u young black and gifted they reach for the belt
if u young black and gifted u going to jail 

bridge
-scratching-
a drug that saves lives black excellence 
but the drugs on the street is black preference 
i really prefer excellence for real 
man if the truth hurts im a watch em burn 
i stay lit brother watch and learn 
brother brother brother watch and learn
i stay lit brother watch and learn
man if the truth hurts im a watch em burn 
i stay lit brother watch and learn 
brother brother brother watch and learn
mr woods out this bitch come watch and you learn

Dallas Woods

At a young age Dallas Woods developed the uncanny ability to find humour in the most unlikely places. Poverty, suicide, abuses of all kinds are a common theme in his life yet its relentless exposure has provided him with the mettle to cut-through society’s demons so he can apply words to his tsunami of feelings and thoughts. Dallas writes with a wealth of humility, knowledge and experience; it’s his coping mechanism.

A Noongar man raised in the E.K. [Wyndham – East Kimberley] Dallas is a quintessential underdog who dropped out of school at age 14; he was raised without a father figure and ran AMOK headed straight for the justice system. Luckily for him in 2007 the Indigenous Hip Hop Projects came through town at a formative moment and spotted this wayward kid’s talent and cheeky knack for word play. 
Dallas would pop up in break-dance cyphers during after-school sessions and completely blew the minds of the Indigenous Hip Hop Projects [IHHP] facilitators with his energy and dance moves that “were literally electric”. Wanting to join the IHHP family, despite there be now room for him to join the gang on tour, Dallas’ mother offered their family car for Dallas to go on the intensive 3 week dance tour. Prison was no longer the only option. In those three weeks ‘Halls Creek’ [Kimberley WA] Dallas’ work began to make an impact. Seeing his value as a mentor particularly with at risk kids whom Dallas has an amazing ability to connect with he was engaged as a key IHHP facilitator. He went on to win the East Kimberley Young Achiever Award at the age of 15 in 2009.  In 2016 he was on the song-writing team for the NIMA award-winning track titled Break the Silence raising awareness for White Ribbon. Since this time Dallas has visited over 250 communities and earned a feature role on Move it Mob style [ABC 3]. 
In 2014 he met Danzal Baker [aka Baker Boy] at an IHHP artist camp in Melbourne, soon after they worked together for the first time on a job in Gove / Dhalinybuy NT. Dallas took Danzal then 17 y.o under his wing empathising with how he was missing home.  It was here that Baker Boy was inspired to start rapping in his own style, started writing songs for the first time with Dallas and ignited the journey that catapulted him to where he is now. The two are staunch friends and continue to write together including Baker Boy’s new single Mr La DiDaDi.  
Dallas decided to move on from the physical demands of dance and started to hone his skills as head MC for IHHP; he was a natural. A Master of Ceremony with the ability to hype an audience beyond the norm. A few steps further Dallas releases his debut track 9 x out of 10, continues to write and perform with Baker Boy and has plans in the works to release an EP to coincide with his support slot on Baker Boy’s national tour this May and June.
