Always late but right on time, today we kick off Dog Scraps' Best Australian Rap Songs of 2022.

As the 'Oz Boy' cover art suggests, Ides makes music about selling drugs in Australia. After a few years bubbling below the surface, he's finally dropped his first project, and it displays a fully-formed style and unique musical identity, packaging witty and vivid street bars in a flamboyant, expressive vocal delivery.

I met up with Hamza earlier in the year, on his birthday, to talk about his new project, his first exposure to hip-hop through a D12 CD, balancing his Western and Pakistani identities in his music, Islam in hip-hop, shuffling at lunchtime, his unorthodox creative process, working with SOLLYY and Murli, what needs to be change in the Australian rap scene and more.
