THE ALLEGIANCE “Steppin' wet from the River City, the VC massive present The Allegiance. The group’s two MCs Coops and Biotic are ready to mount their assault on their forthcoming debut LP Read Between the Rhymes.” Both MCs went the same route, sharpening their skill-set on the open mic circuit. Underground hip hop club, The Source on Ann Street gave way to Biotic venomously rhyme-spitting on victims in 2003 and taking out the Babbleon Battles on Australia Day 2006. Other half, Coops has always put his mind to rhyme, tired of commercial over-play on mainstream radio, he began penning his own lyrics over tempered beats, which proved just the creative stimulant to awaken his talents. By early 2006 his first open mic sesh came by way of Brisbane's Afrika Pacifika Festival hosted by Airlock Studios where he won the chance to record his track 'Underground Hound'. Coops received good airplay through Triple J's Unearthed competition and this put the pin on the map for charting the course
