Predominantly known for his work as an emcee & producer with over 10 years as a pivotal member of Perth hip-hop outfit - The Stoops
(WA URBAN ACT OF THE YEAR 2011, YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=V8TXGV0AGQ4 ). Collaboration opportunities followed with
a diverse range of premier Australian artists(TA-KU, J SQUARED, GEORGIE KAY, AND MEG MAC(UNRELEASED) as well as a slew of impressive international support roles, (PETE ROCK, KURTIS BLOW, MAC MILLER, JURASSIC 5, STICKY FINGERS) Breakfest(LO&BEHOLD) and at Perth’s TEDX EVENT (WITH SARAH PELLICANO).
It’s no accident that this emcee/designer’s solo music has been hidden until now, with most of his time working on The Stoops music and designing
artwork for his music peers. But with a hoard of solo releases ready to go, the Perth-based Emcee is locked, loaded and coming out of nowhere.

An exciting fixture of Australia’s bubbling Hip-Hop scene, Melbourne’s own Eleji fka ARKS MC, has been putting in work more than most names in the country, clocking up hundreds of live shows and releasing close to a dozen projects over the last ten years.

Most recently putting together the cult-hit ‘The Alex Danger Tapes’ EP (2018) featuring Talakai, Dexter Seamus + more. However, after more-than cementing his name within Australia’s ever-evolving music scene, Eleji, now 24 years old, is gearing up to release his debut LP, ‘Pray Tomorrow Never Comes’ - a creative, open and honest full-length masterpiece that has been in the works for four years.
 
Having without a doubt paid his dues, supporting a plethora of live acts across the country including Bliss N Eso, Horrorshow, Illy, Thundamentals, Drapht, The Funkoars, Allday, Ivan Ooze and Dirty Dike (UK), Locksmith (US), and more. Eleji has spent the last 10 years preparing for what’s next, and with his debut album on the horizon, expect Eleji to become a legitimate headline act himself off the back of his magnetic charisma, energetic flows and honest lyricism.
 
‘Pray Tomorrow Never Comes’ began back in 2015 as a 21-year-old, after the St Kilda born emcee came off his national tour with legendary group Funkoars. Since then, Eleji has put every aspect of his career and life into crafting a conceptual, tell-all album that follows his life and mental development from ages 2-21.
 
If you thought a debut album was all that was in the pipeline for one of the hardest working creatives in the country, then you’re sorely mistaken. In 2018, Eleji launched his movement, label and DIY service: ‘HIEN MYTEE’, signing a collection of eclectic Australian and New-Zealand artists and curating every element of their release from the label’s headquarters. 
 
Despite having toured the country, selling out EP launches and supporting the biggest of Hip-Hop acts Australia has to offer, there is no doubt that 2019 and ‘Pray Tomorrow Never Comes’; stands as Eleji’s magnum opus.

Going for well over 5 years, CoLab is a live improvised hip hop jam that runs bi-monthly on Sundays at the Moon Cafe in Perth, Western Australia. It features two host MCs that change for each event, with a live band of changing instrumentalists. Sometimes its a jam with a harp and a violin, sometimes its duelling guitarists, who knows.. What you can be assured of though is that they are always amazing and along with the guests who get pulled out the crowd, this night is one grin-inducing, communal experience.
