Hailing from the rugged landscape west of Sydney of Blue Mountains, Matt Xander is a rapper using his satirical lyricism to comment on the mishaps of society. Formerly working under the Riff MC alias, the artist was raised on a diet of rock and metal but the hip hop scene caught his attention after he came across Aussie legends Hilltop Hoods, immediately inspiring him to embark on his own artistic journey.
Drawing on his background of stand up comedy and acting, he creates and energetic and dramatic live presence that’s seen him share the stage with renowned Australian and international acts such as Pez, Chris Webby and Xaphoon Jones. Since making his sonic introduction in 2017 with his debut EP titled Fornicating Arachnids, he’s gained extensive radio support of his music and had his film clips screened at international film festivals.
Dropping a string of well-received releases over the last few years, he brings us his latest release with his new single “The Truth”, following his EP Happy With Crazy from earlier this year. Using his trademark witty lyrical writing, on his latest track Matt Xander questions our own existence.
Asking why the universe if such a blur, whether we’re alone, if there’s a higher power and what that means for the purpose of life if there is – or if there isn’t – on “The Truth”, Matt Xander lays down his rhythm-perfect vocal flow over a smoky blend of instrumentation and delicately driving beats to create an engaging and worthy alternative hip hop cut.
