PHRASE's debut album Talk With Force ushered in a new era for Australian Hip-Hop with its raw subject matter and unrivalled sonic foundations courtesy of the CROOKED EYE production team (J-Skub, Daniel Merriweather & PHRASE). The breakthrough single from the album entitled Hold On solidified PHRASE’s position at the fore-front of the Australian Hip-Hop movement. 2006/2007 saw PHRASE perform almost 100 live shows across the country, touring and performing with artists like Snoop Dogg, Bliss N Eso, Mobb Deep, Pegz, Method Man & Redman, Rahzel, Scribe, Mark Ronson and DJ Premier.

The achievements of PHRASE in this short 2 year period have been nothing short of phenomenal – from being a young rapper with a hope and a dream to being both an Aria and Apra award nominee and later taking out two awards at the 2007 Urban Music Awards, PHRASE’s story is definitely one for the history books. Now almost 3 years since his debut, Clockwork is scheduled for an April 24th release and promises to once again break the mould of what people expect to hear from an Australian Hip-Hop artist.
