Phrase is an Australian hip hop MC, originating from Melbourne, Victoria.

[edit] Biography

Growing up in the suburbs of Melbourne, Phrase's love of hip hop kicked off in his early teens when he began to listen to the likes of Ice T, NWA, Ice Cube, and 2Pac. Whilst he was a certified fan of these US rappers, it wasn't until he began listening to community radio and new Australian rappers that he started to feel a real affinity with hip hop as an art-form.

Inspired by the likes of Bias B, Lyrical Commission, and Hilltop Hoods, Phrase began to piece together an album's worth of material with a team of like-minded collaborators. Working together with producers Daniel Merriweather and J-Skoobz, tracks began to develop to make sure all the right lyrics and sounds were in place.

Phrase has collaborated with several international artists, including recording the track Takin Care of Business with US rapper Saigon.

The cornerstone of the album, Talk With Force is considered by some to be I’m Tired. He was a guest on Amiel's EP Be Your Girl.

Phrase has released three singles from the "Talk With Force" Album. "Here Now" featuring UK MC Mystro, "Catch Phrase" featuring Daniel Merriweather and "Hold On" featuring musician Max White.

He also was featured on the track "Tied Up" featuring Ethical & Daniel Merriweather.

He is also featured on Scarface: The world is yours soundtrack
