Briggs, Nooky and Friends at The Lair

Overview

Hip-hop fans listen up, an intimate show from Briggs and his Bad Apple Music label is coming to The Lair inside the CBD's Metro Theatre on Thursday, April 7.

Billed as Briggs, Nooky and Friends as part of the Great Southern Nights program, expect memorable sets from the two trailblazing MCs as well as a bunch of surprise guests.

Through his career, Briggs has been a vocal voice in the fight of First Nations people in Australia through his music  — both solo and with A.B. Original — his writing and his comedy. He's toured with the likes of KRS-ONE and 50 Cent as well as written for programs like Black Comedy and Charlie Pickering's The Weekly.

A newer voice in the hip hop community, Nooky's list of achievements is already long and impressive. Alongside his hard-hitting EP Lyrebird Par released at the end of last year, he's also the host of Triple J's Blak Out and the founder of Indigenous social enterprise We Are Warriors.

Great Southern Nights is facilitating a heap of gigs across Sydney and regional NSW, ranging from icons like Jimmy Barnes in western Sydney or Archie Roach performing in Wagga Wagga, through to smaller acts like hyped young R&B singer Liyah Knight headlining a night of local music and DJs at Zetland's 107 Projects. You can find the full program at the Great Southern Nights website.
