The final round of Triple J adds for 2006 is bereft of hip hop, local or otherwise, rounding out a slow few months for rap on the Js. With the exception of Muph n Plutonic’s Silence the Sirens scoring feature album during Oz Music Month and Nas’ “Hip Hop Is Dead” getting a decent flogging, we’ve seen spot play for Rhymefest, Mystro and Yungun & Mr Thing in the last quarter. Before that, Astronomy Class got deserved love for “A Better Tomorrow” and Lupe’s “Kick Push” was ground into the asphalt. To the left, Macromantics’ Moments in Movements was also feature album and True Live’s “TV” was put to air in prime time. For consistency, Soul Position’s “Hand-Me-Downs” was the stayer of the year, getting repeated spins well into the second half of 2006, especially from Robbie Buck and Myf Warhurst.
