Hyjak and Torcha are two of Australia's most respected and innovative MC's. Accompanied by veteran DJ Bonez on the decks and production, 'Drastik Measures' is their long awaited debut full length album.

'Drastik Measures' is like a Creole ragu. It's a melting pot of unique flavours and local ingredients infused slowly by master chefs to an authentic recipe. The album offers some of the most unique styles of production and lyrics while keeping it true to the authentic recipe of straight original hip hop.

This feisty dish has been created with the help of up tempo beats, lots of strings and keys, funky breakdowns, raga influenced singing, funny skitz and intelligent lyrics keeping things interesting with every mouthful. Moving with ease from serious story telling to party themes about sneaking into clubs to the fast pace of Sydney life 'Drastik Measures contains 15 tracks and includes collaborations with Hilltop Hoods, Mass MC, Ends and Means, Vice Versa and MC Kye (singing vocals).

Drastik Measures is released 2nd March 2004 by Obese Records
