Cairns Murri Crew - 'Built to Last', Desert Pea Media (DPM) & UnLtd

‘Song Nation Vol. 1’ is a compilation of original Hip Hop music and online videos celebrating the very much alive and vibrant Indigenous contemporary culture across regional and remote areas of Australia and Torres Straits Islands. The first single (out now) is ‘Built To Last‘.

Completely independent and unlike anything in the industry, Desert Pea Media (DPM) known for their unique dialogue-driven song writing workshop process, have created one of the most exciting and culturally significant albums in recent times.

Written as part of a collaborative process with DPM facilitators and young people from Cairns High School in Cairns (QLD) a.k.a Cairns Murri Crew the track pays homage to Gimuy Walabura Yidinji people and the many elders and community leaders who fought for Indigenous rights for decades.

‘I can tell ya bro – If you don’t know where you been… I can tell ya sis – If you missed out on your dreams… I can tell you that the spirit is strong, and if you know the song – Then you can sing along with me.’ - Built to Last
