Warsong - ZiggyMortars

Following an 8 month deployment to Afghanistan, ZiggyMortars used his experiences of war to fuel the writing process toward his debut EP ‘Rain of Fire’. Encompassing not only a modern style of Australian Hip Hop, ‘Rain of Fire’ is inspired by a dynamic range of genres from dance to alternative rock. Ziggy’s lyrical content varies throughout tracks, from the laid back reminiscence of ‘Heading Home (Feat. Recon & Azov)’ to the hard hitting war stories of ‘Warsong’, his approach to song writing tells the stories of both pleasure and pain.
