Behind The Lines: The Art Of Words is a deep dive into the minds of some of Australia's most compelling emcees. Each chapter sees artists unpacking a track they handpicked from their own catalogue. But this isn't just a book about music. It's about the process behind the pen, the technical craft of rhyming, and the stories that shaped the songs.
Every chapter is an intimate conversation-raw, reflective, and revealing-exploring not just how a track was made, but why. Along the way, the book traverses themes of identity, legacy, grief, resilience, and the unshakable love of how words connect.
From bar-for-bar breakdowns to life's biggest questions, this is a portrait of a culture, in the words of those who live it.
