Spotify celebrated its flagship A1 Hip-Hop playlist at a sold-out debut event in Sydney last night with performances from Triple One, Manu Crooks, Kwame, JessB, Hooligan Hefs, Sophiegrophy and guest appearances from Hooligan Skinny, Anfa Rose, Lil Spacely, B Wise and Raj Mahal.

Spotify really went all out, transforming The Metro with next level visuals, lights and state-of-the-art stage design, and treated fans to some of the best and brightest in local hip-hop. Giving a platform to artists championing different sounds under the hip-hop banner in Australia and New Zealand, the playlist inspired live event was a rager with all artists bringing their A-game.
