Kicking off in the arvo and stretching until 11:00pm, this one is looking very large. A couple of tickets left online, and a few more on the door.

Sydney’s longstanding monthly hip-hop party Halfway Crooks is back in 2017, and this time it’s a family affair: Kool dads Levins & Franco will be joined by Swiss Dank members Ma$e and $ean’Don, and if the dollar signs are anything to go by, this night will be right on the money with lots of ignorant trap bangers and Southern hospitality.

Atro, Cache One and the dynamic duo of Ebondy Boadu and Yemisul all appearing, with interstate friend Fletch also getting it done!
