Pott Street – High North

Pott Street has been pushing Hip Hop forward in the Northern Territory since the group came together in the mid 1990′s as the natural progression of a shared love of Hip Hop culture and music between close friends growing up on the same street in Darwin, Pott Street.

Comprising of 4 members with 4 distinct styles, Fliz, ‘O’ Zee, Gusto and Dizzle, create a sound that can simply be described as unique within the Australian Hip Hop community. Ever confident and curious in their recordings, Pott Street is not shy when it comes to utilizing all forms of instrumentation to create timeless sounds delivered with a laid back ease and fresh flow typical of the classic Darwin lifestyle.
