Third3ye is a collective of like-minded hip hop artists coming together to produce a new-wave, spiritual sound.
The music they make exudes a naturalist vibe over 15 tracks that takes the listener on a philosophic journey through mystical and musical vibrations.
Another variation on contemporary hip hop music in NZ. I guess the best way to describe this album is rustic and organic. The lyrics and beats compliment each other nicely. My favourite track was Aura the sixth track which had a sweet harmony floating in the background which kicked off more lighter sweet tracks. Throw in some Te Reo mixed through some dense raps and you have a pretty full album.
An acquired taste, but give it a try online http://third3ye.bandcamp.com/album/on3ness
Third3ye represents a collective of like-minded artists, coming together to produce a spiritually-conscious form of Hip Hop all the way from sunny Aotearoa. The Third3ye whanau is made-up by Auckland MCs Melodownz and Angelo King.
As a collective the crew is comfortable experimenting with new sounds and theories, and pushing messages of philosophy, enlightenment, and higher consciousness - whether it be from a picturesque backdrop in Queenstown, or the backstreets of Avondale. Hip-Hop is deeply rooted here in Aotearoa, and has been a way of life for the crew since day one. Third3ye aims to take it down a new spiritual bush track.
