In 2019, Mount Druitt-based artists OneFour became the focus of police ire. The announcement is the latest escalation in an ongoing battle between NSW police and rappers largely based in western Sydney. The parallels between what’s happening here and the skirmishes in the US in the ’90s are pretty clear – but the lack of freedom of speech protections in this country mean our equivalents of NWA and Tupac are on the back foot. More than 30 years after NWA burst out of Compton, Australia is living through its own war between police and sections of the hip-hop community. The battle between hip-hop and the police hasn’t let up in the US, and has even intensified in recent years, but America’s commitment to freedom of speech has helped to protect the rights of artists to tell their stories, regardless of how provocative. The family of the slain trooper claimed the lyrics had advocated violence but a landmark court decision found that, even if that was the case, the song was protected by the first amendment. In 1997, rapper Tupac Shakur’s label was sued after a Texas state trooper was shot by a man listening to Shakur’s music. It was dramatised in the 2015 film Straight Outta Compton, and it foreshadowed a long-term battle between the hip-hop community and those who claim a link between rap lyrics in violence.

Mellowing out a bit, the middle of the set turned towards the quieter and more introspective side. “To Be Alone” found Hozier-Byrne’s pipes pushed to the limit, but still shining. Strings, keys and drums all tightly wound into an explosively passionate mix. He wasted no time, kicking off his set with his most upbeat selection of tracks - “Angel of Small Death and the Codine Scene” into “From Eden” into “Jackie and Wilson” followed up with “Someone New.” The packed house seemed to know most of these, or at least were willing to jam out as the band demonstrated that they were as essential to the songs as Hozier himself.
