Biography
MC Panika, working with scratch artist DJ noir, is Melbourne's most lush electro-hipHop act. Pounding the stage with phat beats, quirky tunes and enviro-politico lyrics, these cats will have you dancing, laughing and swinging from the rafters.
"A special blend of hip hop beats, environmental and politically inspired lyrics and a hell of a lot of fun."
