Primitive has emerged from Sydney’s vibrant underground rap scene to swiftly become one of Australia’s most respected hip hop artists. Born in Gunnedah in country NSW Prim has survived a life of family dysfunction, with stints served along stretches of Australia’s east coast. Primitive has now found his way to where he belongs: Sydney’s underground music scene. Since winning “Rising MCs” in 2017, Primitive, who boasts influences ranging from Elton John to Slayer to Eminem, has been on a mission to convert listeners through his relentless live shows and innovative studio releases. Known for his intricate word play, Prim’s music is also highly affective and promotes a message of hope. Indeed, Prim wields his microphone with a conviction that arises from his personal journey through pain, addiction and recovery: Prim is intimately aware that from darkness art can grow. His music stands as a reflection on and celebration of his hard fought 10.5 years of sobriety.
