Competing in poetry poses a strange set of questions and emotional responses. To share something so personal in competition. But it can also be a fantastic place to get amazing feedback and validation for your work.
We've got three competition winners here today, so plenty to discuss.
Oh and Ry. He's not won anything, besides our hearts.

We're always fascinated by the crossover between art forms. What can you learn from different performance types mediums? Is it better to focus on one or branch out as a multifaceted artist? We believe the latter, and Tej is a perfect example of that.

For the time Vibe Union has been running events, we tend to run them as ongoing series. We love this as it allows events to grow over time and form a community around them. However, sometimes you can feel when one has run its course. But we always have to fight that feeling that somehow it 'failed' if it ends.

It's not uncommon for artists to attempt a positive improvement in their life and their work, only to receive less attention from die hard fans. We believe that's changing in this day and age but not fast enough.

Events are chaos, unpredictable. And for two anxious dudes, this can be very stressful. But over time, we’ve learned to plan more and more, and we’ve become more comfortable working in that environment. But it’s still not easy.

The way we communicate on stage, both as MCs and performers, is seemingly quite atypical for the local poetry and hip-hop scenes we find ourselves part of. We avoid hyperbole as a natural response, but is this a good move?

Where you start can completely change how you approach an art form. Perhaps a poet who moves into rap will struggle with flow, while a rapper moving into poetry may find it hard to construct narrative. We have a chat about the different places we began toying with words and what difference it makes.

We've all heard the saying, "Choose a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life". But as artists we all fear turning our passion into work and often see the professional side of things as soulless. Is it the case that being professional and treating your art as a job will suck the life out of it? Jason and Ry have a bit of a chat about that idea in this episode.

It's been a minute since we've hosted a podcast but we're starting up again fortnightly! So if you enjoy chats about being creative and the local arts, have a listen why not.

Let’s talk about race. As Australia continues to struggle with racism and a dehumanising attitude towards its Indigenous population, hip hop continues to rise as a cultural beacon. Borrowed from the lived experiences of marginalised and oppressed African Americans, the genre has seen a colourful evolution amongst Australia’s predominantly-white population. As it spreads to Australia’s suburbs, white Australia is being exposed to instances of a word that has over 400 years of history as a tool of oppression. Without the cultural significance translating to the Australian experience, we find a more blasé approach to its use. Why is it problematic? How does it affect people of African and African-American heritage to hear it used, especially by non-black people? What is Inter-Generational Trauma?
This week’s special guest Strictly DT (@strictlydt) joins Emkew and Amutha for this eye-opening and heavy conversation. This is a must-watch for anyone performing or producing hip hop music. Whether you’re singing along to the radio in your car, or performing alongside Kendrick Lamar – you need to hear this.

You’ve written a novel, we guarantee it. Whether you scribbled down a single line on your phone, or have a stack of sticky notes next to your inkwell, being a writer comes naturally to all people. So why is there such a stigma around what constitutes “good” writing? Amutha, Sixpence, and Saskia sat down during a party to chat about their writing processes, how they’ve evolved as authors and creatives, and the trio unpack a blog about biscuits.

Rhath hosts Jason and Emkew to talk about authenticity in art, and how to maintain your integrity and voice.
How do you know your voice is your own? The struggle to be authentic and truthful in art is very real for artists at every stage of their career. Here, poet Jason Voss and rapper Emkew share their perspectives on pouring their heart and their emotions into their music. From scrapping your material to improvise an honest poem, to rapping about drugs and partying in Ibiza just to fit in, this episode explores what it means to be real, and the lure of inauthentic art to find new audiences.
Emkew performs his latest release, Detour, and Jason performs an honest poem about staying authentic.
