Australian Alternative Hip-Hop Artist ​Johnny From the Burbs drops a hard-hitting single ​Awful​, where he aims to make a mark on the Australian Hip-Hop Scene with an energetic delivery elevating from his past releases such as ​‘Choked Out!’ and ​‘1-UP’​.

A Producer and Artist in his own right, ​Johnny From the Burbs delivers his lyricism touching on a range of mature themes such as Politics and Drug abuse. His production style blends in both Alternative and Hip-Hop genres and is clearly seen throughout his past three mixtape releases ‘​Propaganda​’, ’​Springtime Sorrows​’, and ‘​Bradenton​’.

“Remember that rejection does not mean the end of the line. The next person may love whatever you show them.” – Johnny From the Burbs

With roots in Punk and Metal from being introduced to music as early as 5 years old, it’s no surprise that Johnny From the Burbs has been influenced by a mix of classic and modern musicians such as ​Billy Joel, Queen, System of a Down and Metallica. H​is aggressive rapping style, which comes from his roots in the Metal genre, has garnered him comparisons to rappers with a similar style such as ​Denzel Curry, and EI-P of Run the Jewels.

With his track record approaching his 3rd year as an artist, ​Johnny From the Burbs has been able to garner the attention of Australian media with publications such as ​Pilerats​, ​Mixdownmag​, and ​Happy Mag describing him as “​Delicious, lighthearted, iconic and playful”.​ Radios have also given their fair share of attention to his work with Johnny receiving support from ​Fbi Radio​ and ​2ser​ including his songs in the “Soundcheck” and “Hardcore Classic” programs respectively.

With ​Awful being the first release for his upcoming debut album ​UNSTOPPABLE​, the year 2020 is looking bright for this artist’s music with planned Instagram live shows to make up for the lack of physical shows this year.
