Sydney entertainer Dave Mason-Cox participated in a novelty project in early 1983 with cohort Don Bruner the result was called "Aussie Rap" backed with an instrumental mix called "Aussie Rap - The Dub With No Beer". This song would have to be one of the first attempts at making a proper Oz rap track but it certainly doesn't have the intenseness of its American counterparts and it is filled with ockerisms and lingo only a local would get..."mum likes Kamahl dad likes Slim"...and it makes me smile everytime I hear it...especially the continued use of the phrase "get down" which becomes obvious at the end...!
Most of the credits/details are on the label above (click to enlarge). According to many folk I have contacted this record is not in many catalogues of Oz product but as you can see above it certainly is genuine.
Instead of the long version as shown on the label above I have placed the single edit here for download it only goes 3 mins.
