The Rah! Team have been hard at work behind the scenes on something really exciting and we can finally let you all know too. We are very pleased to announce our first tour! And its all to celebrate the release of debut albums from Matt Xander and Beyond Dope.
We’re stoked we have Canadian MC Mickey O’Brien coming out to join Matt Xander and Beyond Dope on what we’re calling the Triple Threat Tour 23 (because we love alliteration).
Mickey recently released his third album, Orebody (see link in his profile) and has been touring Canada solidly to support it. He will also be stopping over for dates in Japan before hitting the road with us to support both Matt Xander and Beyond Dope's debut album releases.
Big thanks to Exhibit Events and Alchemy Clothing Company for their continued support. - Online - Facebook content
First single from this underground hip hop super-group, of a sort. And as you might expect, it is large, loud and brassy with just the right amount of reverent indulgence. And the accompanying video is of similar quality. I live in hope. - Online review
We're Beyond Dope and we suck! At least, that's what this tall skinny MC said at the end of one of their epic tracks.
This is hip hop for kids who love rock, for old heads who remember back in the day, and for anyone who likes a good time.
Beyond Dope are beyonder and doper. - Fanzine#1

Bio
One part Canadian and two parts Australian make up the hip hop triumvirate that is Beyond Dope.
Canadian transplant and powerhouse emcee Branded Moore, local underground legend, emcee/producer Mighty Ash and producer/multi-instrumentalist GhostAttacK came together fuelled by a desire to make raw, honest and powerful hip hop.
From the moment they stepped into GhostAttacK's lab, they knew they were creating something special. And they also knew they had to do it themselves. So they handcrafted ten tracks of audacious hip hop, fusing influences into something altogether new.
The first release from this was their debut single, Know About That. The single version is propelled by a big boom bap beat and sharp, dynamic lyrics, leaning heavily on their influences but still sounding fresh, new and interesting. The accompanying video captures perfectly their aesthetic and vision.
The band are about to release their debut, self-titled album, on Thursday, 23 November. The album is full of the same energy and passion they're becoming known for live. The ten tracks, including an album version of the first single, were written, mixed, produced and mastered by the band, who wouldn't allow anyone else to control or compromise their vision.
Each of them are accomplished artists and performers, which shows when they play live, as they give everything they have, with energy and passion. And the punters love every second of it. The combination of banging beats, hard rock guitar and extraordinary emcees is most certainly destined for big stages right around the world.
