Still buzzing from scoring a place in the triple j Hottest 100 with the track “So Good” and playing a host of summer festivals including Big Day Out, Allday releases his EP Loners are Cool, a sophisticated take on contemporary hip hop. Allday’s clever observational style and melodic lyrical flows slide over beats from the likes of producer One Above (Hilltop Hoods, Illy) to create Australia’s exciting answer to Drake or Frank Ocean.

aahh: What a big 12 months it’s been for you, moving to Melbourne from Adelaide, appearing in the triple j Hottest 100 and also releasing a couple of mixtapes plus a brand new EP. Has this been the craziest 12 months ever?
Allday: Believe it or not it has been the least crazy 12 months ever, basically everything in the last 12 months has taken a lot of work and not a lot of partying. Looking back at every other year of my life and the various bad decisions I’ve made, this ranks as the tamest.

aahh: I want to ask you about your E.P A Skateboard Soiree. You teamed up with beatmaker C1, how did this relationship develop?
Allday: Actually he contacted me on Facebook and it went from there. He’d seen a video of me rapping into a webcam that was on youtube. We just kicked it, had similar interests and influences and we knocked the E.P out in about 3 weeks. He had just quit his job to focus on music and I’d just moved to Melbourne. Kind of seems like fate.

aahh: Did you expect the response you received for ‘A Skateboard Soiree?
Allday: Not at all, if we expected that to happen we probably would have spent a bit longer on it. At the time we just wanted to chuck something out for fun. I probably had 10 or 20 serious dedicated fans and I was basically doing it for them. Luckily Triple J liked it, some bigger artists like Bam Bam & 360 helped out and posted it and it got bigger than expected.

aahh: So Good, is a track that was really one of your break out tracks, it also appeared in the hottest 100 earlier in the year. What do you think it is about this track that people related to so much?
Allday: I think the theme, although it’s about mental illness kind of, is also kind of universal. Because the theme of the song is really ‘things aren’t perfect but I’m going to make a choice to deal with them and enjoy my life.’ Also it goes ‘mono mono mono’ and gets stuck in your head.

aahh: Moving on to the brand new EP, Loners Are Cool. What did you want to accomplish with this release?
Allday: Firstly I wanted to really make my song writing more direct and meaningful. Songs like Otto and That Phone Is A Brick are fairly polished as far as concepts and wordplay go and I guess I just wanted to test myself and go down that road. When I was writing the E.P I hit a wall where I didn’t know what to write about, I make pop influenced hip hop but I don’t want to say ‘having fun at the beach yada yada yada’, unless I can do it in an intelligent or a new way. I feel like I did that, and I made a better finished product than any of my older stuff. With that in mind though I feel like I can still get a lot better.

aahh: The debut single from the album features Brady James and is titled Girl In The Sun, tell us a bit about the track and clip, we hear you teamed up with a Swedish beatmaker for this one?
Allday: Girl In The Sun is a love song bout the early stages of a relationship. I guess I tried to capture that feeling when you’re just so deep that everything in your life seems like a movie montage. We went for a one take video because we wanted to keep it light and engaging. Woodz made the beat, he made two others on the E.P too. He hit me up about beats from Sweden, god knows how he even came across my music, and I loved his stuff.

aahh: Momo from Diafrix appears on a track titled ‘Single Mother Song’, what did he bring to this track?
Allday: MoMo just has a silky voice and is an amazing musician. I really wanted to get MoMo on the E.P because we became good mates after touring together. I learnt heaps about how to not only be professional but also be a good person from the Diafrix boys, definitely some of the best people I’ve come across in the industry.

aahh: One Above produces the track ‘That Phone Is A Brick’, what was it like working with him? He’s produced some amazing tracks lately.
Allday: One Above is an absolute monster, I bugged him for a bit to get beats even though he was too busy and probably didn’t want to give any to me. He’s actually from right around my area in Adelaide too and we have a lot of mutual friends. It’s crazy to have someone who musically talented in our scene and I definitely lucked out getting him on a beat.

aahh: You are currently on a ten date tour around Australia, tell us about that, is this your first tour of this size?
Allday: It is my first headline tour, I love getting to go different places and meeting fans. It’s definitely the easy part of being a musician. The difficult part is that my DJ Mikey Hundred and I are both legally r - All Aussie Hip Hop

What’s the response been like to your latest EP?
Really good, my old fans like it and I’ve got new fans from it too, so that’s all you can hope for.
In your opinion, what is your best track?
I’ve made a lot of music already so that’s hard. I think some of my new ones I’m making for my album right now are my best. Out of the ones I have put out already, probably Nearly Famous. I’m happy with the picture it painted of that exact moment of my life.
In your music, you frequently address those who question your image, has this been a big problem for you as an up and coming artist?
I think when I first arrived on the scene a few people were shocked and a few were unhappy. But really I can only be myself and the people who like me will like me whether they like my clothes or not. Basically I come from deep bogan D.N.A but I don’t want to be a bogan anymore.
How would you describe your image?
Really I don’t have an image I just wake up and wear the clothes I like and live the way I want to. I like to dress cool but I also like to not spend money on bullshit clothes, so I get most the things I wear from Savers.
What makes your musical style unique?
I’m really honest, like really honest. If you listen to some of my music you’ll get to know me pretty well. Writing raps there are so many words, even if you want to tell a lie the truth will come out eventually. My music is a combination of a lot of different influences, mostly soul and hip hop but I also listen to a lot of indie rock.
Where did the name Allday come from? What significance does the name have for you?
Allday is something someone said to me when I was 16 or 17. In reference to the fact that I rapped all the time or… all day. I guess now that so many people know me as Allday it’s kind of significant. It doesn’t really have any significance except the fact that everyone calls me Allday now. I wish I called myself something crazier now, but it’s kind of too late.
You began rapping at age ten, what made you start?
I don’t know, I probably did it to impress girls like almost everything else I’ve ever done. Really though I’ve always loved music but I was shit at instruments and I couldn’t be bothered learning. Rap was something I could learn on my own terms without some creepy music teacher getting cut because I didn’t practice the clarinet enough this week or something.
You are originally from Adelaide but moved to Melbourne, why did you decide to move?
I love Adelaide but I was drowning in my own shitty routine. I realized I had to move when the bartenders at one of the clubs I went to all the time started pouring my drink for me before I even ordered. I didn’t really have a reason to move I just did it to change the vibrations and it’s been fun so far. I want to move to Sydney for a while also.
How has the move influenced your music?
Well firstly I didn’t really take it (or anything) serious in Adelaide. I guess moving kind of crystallized that I wanted to make music as a serious thing. It’s also way cold in Melbourne so I think it’s making my music a bit sadder. They say the weather in Seattle influenced all those grunge bands to make that dark music, I think that could be a thing in Melbourne too.
What are your plans after the tour?
After the tour I’m going to work on my album, eat lots of vegetables and try not die. - Colosoul Magazine

Adelaide-born, Melbourne-raised rapper Allday has left his first made on the ARIA Charts this week with new EP Loners Are Cool debuting at 18 on the Album Chart.

Helped along by a lower price point for being an EP, the release also managed 3 on the Urban Chart and hit the top of the iTunes hip hop chart.

Today the 22-year-old artist said, “I was really surprised at charting so highly, it's just a testament to my fanbase because they probably could just go torrent it or something. Really psyched right now.”

Released through teamtrick/MGM it is the first release from the teamtrick’s label. The company also manages the artist.

Today teamtrick’s Pete Williamson told theMusic.com.au, “We’d been watching Allday’s progress for a while even before we signed him, so we’re really happy for him to score such an excellent chart debut – he’s great at engaging with his fans and building a community, and their support in first week of release was fantastic.”

The EP is now in it second pressing and management have claimed today that there is “major label A&R interest from the US and UK.”

He will play at Sydney’s Come Together festival following a run of club shows. - themusic.com.au

It’s admirable to see and more specifically hear the resilience of anyone who overcame struggle, pain and hardship. Even more inspiring is when this resilience is expressed and turned into music.

Allday, a young Australian hip hop artist has definitely done this, and at the tender age of 22, his resilience has provided him with success.

The rawness and sincerity of every song on his EP ‘Loners Are Cool’ has scored him many places on the ARIA charts, placing #18 on the Album Chart, #3 on the Urban Chart and deservingly #3 for Australian Releases with this EP ‘Loners Are Cool’. He has also graced the #1 spot on the iTunes hip hop chart and notably was crowned 91st placed on the triple j Hottest 100 for ‘So Good’. On top off all this, he has generated major interest off shore, in the US and UK.

This EP ‘Loners Are Cool’ was released in April 2013 and is an aural exploration of youth, drugs, money, love, family and the future.Through his witty, clever and punny lyrics, Allday has successfully vocalised the thoughts of many young thought filled humans, who, like everyone are trying to find their place in the world.

The first track, Breathe Slow, explores the motif of young love. With it’s pretty chimes contrasting with a strong beating note, this song and these sounds are the perfect analogy of a contrasting love, the chimes representing femininity and masculine strength provided by the beat.

Track number two, Fly, is a song filled with a party of sounds working together to support lyrics that are a representation of youthfulness and substance use, substances that literally allow you to fly. It is a song that makes you want to get rid of anything heavy weighing you down to simply help you fly.

Girl In The Sun features the soothing vocals of Brady James. It’s a song that brings summer to your ears from sounds provided by a positive and melodic whistle to a head bopping guitar riff. James’ vocals really compliment the ruggedness of AllDay’s rapping, together providing an overall modern romantic song.

Single Mother Song is a touching song dealing with family struggles and resilience. It is almost a dedication to AllDay’s mother and really showcases how open and raw this artist is, allowing the audience to be involved in his struggle and respect his lyrical sincerity he constantly provides. It also features Moo of Diafrix.

Otto is a much more bass and beat heavy song that also touches this EP’s motif of love and lust, especially the female admiration for cars. AllDay cleverly repeats the onomatopoeia of ‘vroom vroom’ and plays on the concept of driving and cars whilst developing a relationship.

Technology and the sense of ‘cool’ is a motif explored in the song That Phone is A Brick, exploring the importance of a mobile phone in gaining and developing a status. The common expression, a brick phone, is cleverly incorporated to represent AllDay’s and his place during his education.

The concluding song, Eyes On The Road is the perfect way to wrap up this EP. This calming tune really makes you feel like your driving into the unknown, or driving away from a lot, clearing your head and enjoying your own company. This song explores the road to the future, love, family and economic status and this song really is a teenager in a nutshell.

This EP ‘Loners Are Cool’ really cements AllDay’s success in the music charts. This EP also really brings a sense of cool to AllDay and loners and I know many people who will be listening to AllDay, all day long.

2012 saw, Allday, experimenting with a range of different sounds over the year, he generated a really positive response and over 17,000 Facebook followers. But aussie hip hop is a fickle genre, people either love it or loathe it, and over the years we have had our fair share of awesome and awful artists come through the charts. Either way, aussie hip hop has been a great opportunity for the young-ins like, AllDay, to give the music biz a good crack

AllDay makes the awkward moments of, boy dating girl, girl dating boy, into a hilarious recount of what we have all been through in his opening track ‘Breathe Slow’. ‘Girl in the Sun’ features a very cute collaboration with Brady James and super quirky film clip.

‘Otto’ has a dirty beat, AllDay had me laughing at his cheeky lyrics - I wanna make you feel special if you can pay for the petrol - and adding in my own discreet dance moves whilst walking down the street. ‘That Phone is a Brick’, transported me straight back to the playground and how important it was to have all the uber cool modcons to please the popular kids, hopefully at least one school goer will listen and realise, ‘hey maybe I don’t need the newest most expensive of everything.’ ‘Eyes on the Road’ is one of the softer tunes on the album and a great track to end on.

So how does Loners Are Cool shape up? Allday is deep; he has some really great lyrics; doesn’t exploit women as his bitches and his message is wise and grown up which you can only hope appeals to the younger demographic. Allday is still growing but he is heading in the right direction, he is a the role model you want youth of today to be listening too. - The Dwarf
