Baker Boy: Influences

Hailing from North-East Arnhem Land, Baker Boy–a.k.a. Danzal Baker–is the first Indigenous rapper in Australia to crack the mainstream using his native Yolngu Matha language. Handpicked by the artist himself, this playlist reflects his dedication to his cultural roots via fellow Indigenous acts such as Dan Sultan, Emily Wurramara and Dallas Woods. It also explores the genesis of his heavy-hitting sound, including J. Cole's smooth flow, the social commentary of A.B. Original and the optimism and energy of The Black Eyed Peas and Faith Evans.
