The Statesmen

about

Introducing… The StatesMen. Sean B & DjDcide. Karsniogenics. Brisbane. QLD. Yes that’s AUS kid... To many Brisbane locals, The StatesMen’s Sean B & Dcide (aka DjDce), are synonymous with this city’s hiphop. They’ve not only spent 18 years collectively on radio and behind the boards with 4zZz’s PhatTape Hiphop Show, but have also appeared as artists on a wide array of Australian hiphop releases, many since revered as ‘pure classics’. Two years in the making, The StatesMen’s debut album, ‘DRAMA TO THE FINISH’ authentically defines the process for these two pioneering creatives, as the road here has been brutally long and seen many adventures, all of which are wrapped up in this graphic body of work. Sean B’s first love for hiphop sparked deep within during his early days growing up in Melbourne, arguably the hiphop Mecca of Australia. In the late ‘80s, the MC recorded his first tapes with Dj Idem as the crew POSITIVE DIRECTION before moving to far north QLD where he established Cairns’ first hiphop radio show on 4CCR in the early ‘90s. After laying down roots in Brisbane in 1995, Sean promptly joined Dj Katch at 4zZz radio station and continued to host its PhatTape show for just over a decade, earning it the title of Australia’s longest running hiphop show. It was during this thriving time in the river city that Sean honed his production skills and was equably encouraged by the results - he was instrumental in the beginnings of the well renowned and commercially successful
