TOUR NEWS: Obese Records Block Party 5

The Obese Records Block Party is back in 2008 and it's bigger, better and further reaching than ever before.

Now in its fifth instalment, Block Party is undoubtedly Australia's most significant Hip Hop event of the year, a nationwide showcase featuring the cream of the Obese Records roster.

Party to the next level, extending its reach to include stops in Perth, Canberra and Byron Bay.
