Madchild

Acclaimed rapper Madchild, a recipient of the prestigious Juno Award, has announced
his triumphant return to Australia & New Zeal& for early 2024. The Canadian emcee will
embark on his biggest tour of the nation’s capitals yet. Madchild is no stranger to
Australian & New Zealand fans, as he has played to packed sold out tours as both a solo
artist & with hip-hop trio Swollen Members, & he shot his iconic music video for “The
Jackal”, which has now surpassed 20 million views, in Melbourne.

Madchild hails from the golden era of hip-hop when he grew up working at Extra Large in
Haight-Ashbury, a clothing store owned by the Beastie Boys. From there he sharpened
his pen & was inducted into the Rock Steady Crew alongside Dilated Peoples. It all
attests to his powerful collaborations with industry heavyweights Jurassic 5, Talib Kweli,
Nelly Furtardo & video director/comic book legend Todd McFarlane.

Madchild’s trajectory in the hip-hop landscape over the past few years has been nothing
short of remarkable. He joined forces with Tom MacDonald to birth the collaborative
album “Killing The Neighbours,” birthing chart-toppers “Bad News” & “Sober,” both
commanding a spot on YouTube’s trending page. Following this triumph, Madchild
proceeded to captivate audiences with “Mobsters & Monsters,” a collaborative
masterpiece with the burgeoning San Diego emcee Obnoxious. The album bore witness
to Madchild’s mastery of penmanship, paying homage to authentic hip-hop lyricism &
accompanied by head-bobbing beats.

Earlier this year, Madchild collaborated with renowned multi-platinum producer &
songwriter Michael Bradford on the track “Ya Don’t Stop”, which was selected by ESPN
as a song of the month. The track was heard as a musical backdrop during the NBA
Finals to millions of viewers.

Madchild will be taking Australian artist ‘Kogz’ along for the entire tour after a stellar
past few years on the local circuit proving himself one of the hottest prospects on stage
& in the Australian music industry.
