A crate digger, who will dig up 1000 records to find that sample. 

In 1993, years before anyone told ya’ to “get up off them goddamn diamonds”, South Jamaica, Queens, craziest Bal-Hed sons, ONYX, were already busy takin’ some of the Golden Era’s loot and running with it to new heights, stamping the term “hardcore” in its darkest terms upside hip hop’s head with their seminal, trailblazing platinum debut, Bacdafucup.

 

The iconic cover image of four bald, angry-lookin’ niggas, their legendary “MadFace” logo, a shoulder-strapped automatic and a menacing boot-tread took rap to a world that could “Slam” in an era where even looking at someone wrong at a rap show could get you gone. Fredro Starr, Sticky Fingaz, SonSee and the late brother Big DS didn’t break the rules: they scared them the fuck away.

 

Twenty years and several full-length underground classics later, there is still nothing so raw in live rap as getting tossed into the barrier by the smiling, sweating, maniacal fans swarming the pit, to find yourself face-to-face with the ever-Mad Faced, ever Bal-Heded ‘Dro and Sticky (and this summer, on the Rock the Bells tour, Sonsee).

 

Face to face with loud, abrasive greatness, you might just find yourself lucky enough to embrace a boot to the temple when Sticky stage-dives, or swimming with the sharks to make waves for the crowd surfers while you “Throw Ya Gunz”.

 

ONYX made boom bap gangsta, gave metal street cred, and exposed the kinship of hip hop and punk rock cultures to a wider global audience on the strength of their delivery and the look in their eye that said this was no gimmick, motherfucker – all under the guidance of their mentor and producer, the departed architect Jam Master Jay.

 

With the Snowgoons-produced Cuzo LP hot on the way and the custom-built hybrid project Black Rock in the aisles and their newly-minted international “100Mad” click growing stronger, 2013 sees ONYX bring it back-da-fuck up in your mad face. Watch out, ‘cuz they’re coming for head-blood. 


Bio by Darcy MacDonald


From cul-de-sac huts in the trenches of Sydney's south west a young Eitha gained inspiration from his surroundings to aspire to be a mc "it was the logical decision seeing as being a DJ involved having a house to keep turntables in and since real young I've had a gypsy mentality."
It was during Eiths time of homelessness that he met Tom Rock who was running hip hop workshops for troubled youth in Airds and Claymore in Sydney’s South West. These workshops gave him hope and drive that has always been cemented in his head; you don't have to settle for being a statistic. Everybody deserves the chance to achieve their full potential regardless of their social demographic.
In coming years Eith would do a few gigs in Sydney mc-ing for DJ Mo Funk at Sugar Reef in Kings Cross and Shark Bar in Sydney's CBD as an over keen 18 year old. Eith says living from house to house did distract him from making music of his own for a few years.
In 2010 Eith moved to Canberra. During this time he found his feet and started making music with his house mates. He found inspiration in the Hospice Crew watching it all come together to make the historic album ‘Stormwater’. Eith would attend gigs and be first to grab the mic at any open mic opportunity there was, sometimes making his own open mic if there was an intermission that he thought was going for too long. It was this hunger for stage time that saw Eitha grab the mic at the KP records event featuring Bone Thugs and Harmony in 2011. Rapping in front of 1600 people gave him a taste for the big shows that he wanted again. It turned out that night he captured the attention of KP Records owner Big Dave and in March 2012 he signed to KP records. Over his time with KP records he supported many international acts he grew up listening to and local artist he looked up to including KRS One, Ice Cube, D12, Xzibit, Obie Trice, Crazytown, Dogg Pound, RA the Rugged Man, Bone Thugs and Harmony, Def Wish Cast, Rates and Manaz Ill. Big Dave was a good influence on Eighths progression and for that Eith is forever grateful, as well as for the opportunities to do some big shows.
In-between gigs Eith and good friend Boyze MC recorded a 17 track mixtape called ‘Life On Stillts’ with fellow Canberra MC’s and friends Strate-Up Emcee, Villy the Kidd, Eff Dott, Sir Rated and EEce Ray. The mixtape gained a cult following and received more than the expected amount of downloads considering there were no YouTube clips and at the time was just something they worked on in their spare time. 2014 saw Eith face trying times in life that nearly broke him and he parted with KP records due to creative differences.
2015 sees the release of Eiths first studio album the ‘In thru the ceiling EP’ the first installment of a two part series of albums with Normals and cosmo beats then a full studio album towards the end of the year . 2015 also brings a new crew for Eith the S.U.A family a collection of Mcs ,Writers Producers and all round crowd pleasing moist makers .Since moving from Canberra eith has a collection of studio musicians he has been working with and helping youth at risk to make music all self funded with no goverment assistance other the EBT cards and his mullet .
