Australian hip-hop barely existed in the late '90s when this trio of school boys from Sydney's Northern Beaches began experimenting with a distinctly local brew of beats and rhymes. Preaching positivity, humour and social consciousness, Bliss n Eso was among the most popular music acts in the country a little over a decade later. With two chart-topping albums to their credit—2010's Running on Air and 2013's Circus in the Sky—the group continued to be a major force in bringing Australian hip-hop to huge mainstream audiences through the mid-‘10s.
