HIGH NOON are a Sydney Hip-Hop duo consisting of Semantic One (Emcee/Beatmaker) & Prolifik The Gifted (Producer/Beatmaker/Deejay/Emcee). The Sydney pair have built a foundation and grown immensely since their first Official release in 2011 (Son Of A Gun EP) and have gained a glowing reputation, Sydney wide, for their intricately layered production and powerful live shows. After touring and playing support shows off the back of their EP the pair withheld the pressures of releasing their album in quick succession. Instead both Semantic One and ProlifikThe Gifted took time to work on their respective side projects and further hone their skills.

On January 5 2015 after much anticipation, the pair independently released their 13 track debut album 'HIGHLIFE' in conjunction with the new music department inside of Sydney clothing label 'illeqwip'. From the beginning to end ‘HIGHLIFE’ delivers sonically dense vocals over earth shaking percussion. Topped and layered with artistic sample division and sniper like turntable accuracy. The album shows off the many talents of the pair extending to Semantic's vocal ability and lyricism and Prolifik's layered drums and musical overlays. The chemistry between the pair is undeniable,as Prolifik’s beats only feel suitable for Semantic One’s baritone flows.

HIGHLIFE is undoubtedly the pairs best work to date taking the listener on a journey and telling the back story of 2 passionate and hardworking independent musicians. The album can be downloaded via the HIGH NOON bandcamp:
