With nearly two decades in the rap game, PAPA the MC is by far not your average hip-hop performer. 
Living in Sydney, Australia but originally from Ghana, Papa has been passionate about music since he was a child, soaking up influences from his households: his family members are all in love with music, and genres as diverse as funk, soul, rock and pop could be heard all over the place! 
What was a hobby soon turned into a passion, and Papa became interested in writing his own music and produce tracks, with a focus on genres as diverse as rap, afro-beat, R&B, EDM and Dancehall. Papa’s natural talent and versatile skills are paired up exceptionally well with his technical knowledge of the production craft, courtesy of his studies at the Australian Institute of Music. Not just a rapper but also a studio producer and composer.Papa is no one-trick pony and he knows the ins and outs of the creative process that goes behind creating solid and entertaining music.

It’s all about creating chemistry, energy and impact that connect with the audience, in the form of appealing melodies, punchy beats and gripping lyrics.  
PAPA the MC is currently at work on his debut full-length “2000 N kRASy”, a culmination of his vision that will undoubtedly take the music scene by storm.

Born into a musical family and being the son of a percussionist, Hiydrus was able to teach himself how to play the drums as a child. He worked on developing his craft through the years and began to pursue music full force in 2012. 

Hiydrus' lethal skills on the mic and strong artistic output throughout the years are undeniable. Drawing from experiences and different cultures of the world, Hiydrus has the talent needed to be an unstoppable force in underground hip-hop. "Having the ability to travel and meet with other people from other countries and cultures to me has been the greatest opportunity so far. Many artists don't gt to see different countries and collaborate with artist from that country until they are on a bigger platform music wise. These influences sometimes come out in my lyrics about people and places I've been. This gives the listener something more than they would usually receive from your typical artist, at the very least a different view of a world outside theirs," he explains. 

With rhymes that resonate with maturity, life experience, and a worldly understanding few can match, Hiydrus is here to make a statement. Working with artists and producers from Dubai, Poland, and the UK has allowed Hiydrus to create a diverse catalog of music. He is currently working on a mixtape set to be released later this year. 

Wit a tireless work ethic, Hiydrus will continue to build future trough his love of creating music.  "I also hope to connect with the listener in a way that helps him or her through tough times and most of all I hope to keep bringing originality to the industry. Work ethic and a strong sens of determination coming from someone that has been immersed in a multitude of cultures, bringing about different viewpoints, I hope to bring a little bi of everything I am made of in the end." Spoken like a true star.
