Cold Crushin Returns...
PBS 106.7FM, Melbourne’s home of some of the maddest record collectors this side of Compton, have put together a dope lineup for the first ever Rampage show. Hosted by Zack Rampage (Rampage, 1pm Fridays), this gathering of old-school hip hop heads promises to be everything you’d expect when Melbourne’s experienced players get together to drop their tunes, show their skills and try out-do each other on the wheels of steel.
This is a PBS benefit gig, so all the coin goes back into helping fund and run one of the finest community stations in the world. As such, we’ve capped ticket prices at a straight up tenner! Awww yeah.
Here’s the lowdown on the lineup:
