Phil's Five To Look Out For.

4There are a few Aussie acts around that will be doing big things soon.

5. TZU.

This folk/rap duo hit the big time with their sophomore album "Computer Love" late last year.
The blend of electro meets folk meets rap is pretty uniique in Australia and "Computer Love" is an 8 out of 10 album.

Not only that, MC Count Bounce from the group has his fingerprints all over Australian hip - hop be it producing or featuring on what seems to be just about every new release.

4. Pez.

Not to be confused with Pegz, this Aussie MC had the hit of the summer with his rookie release "Summerdays" of his first album, "A Mind Of My Own."

The song was on high rotation on Triple J and surprisingly, Channel [V].

"Summerdays" climbed to number four on the latest Triple J Hottest 100.

Not a one hit wonder, the rest of the album is packed full of mellow hip - hop, and yes does feature Count Boucne.

3. Drapht.

The 27 year MC from Perth is a late bloomer, bursting on to the scene again via Triple J.

His singles, "Jimmy Recard" and "Falling" seemed to follow each each time they were played on the j's, and again he received solid airtime on Channel [V].

In his favour is the fact that he's signed to Obese Records who only ever seem to produce stellar music.

2. Ladyhawke.

Ok she's not really an Aussie, but when has that stopped us from claiming a Kiwi as our own?
Crowded House anyone?

Again a late bloomer, in an environment awash with electro pop, Ladyhwake seems to stand out from the rest.

Her singles, "Paris is Burning", "My Delirium" and "Dusk Till Dawn" off her self titled release have crossed the divide from Triple J to commercial radio and TV.

The only thing that could hinder her progress is her recent diagnosis with Aspergers Syndrome.

1 A-Love.

In a world dominated by male rappers A-Love stands out. Not just because she has two X chromosomes, but because she has talent.

Her flow rivals that of any rapper in Australia, male or female.

The young Victorian had a killer single with "Love Is" off her "Ace of Hearts" album, a great effort from a first timer.

Not only has she experienced success here, but she has a growing fan base in the US.
