Land Down Under

There’s no kookaburra laughing in the old gum tree where Yung Milla’s coming from. His Land Down Under is less paradise, more gangsta: the urban landscape of Palmerston, south of Darwin, is a place where violence and temptation are real and ever present. It’s ripe territory for a hip-hop truthteller determined to right wrongs and rise. “Land Down Under is a song about my crew, and the town where I grew up,” says the 20-year-old Marranungu rapper. “Like a lot of places up here it’s got problems and we get through by sticking together and staying strong, trying to make it out, looking up rather than down.” “I really wanted the film clip to capture this aspect of us - “We have each other's backs, for all time.

He credits his brother, emerging superstar J-MILLA, for the change in direction that put him on his path of redemption. Today Yung Milla works as an Adventure Therapist and at Saltbush accommodation centre for young Aboriginal men on bail from detention, helping kids like him find their own paths through troubled times. “Like the song says, I know I’m not perfect. I’m a young man trying to right my wrongs. I’ve still got stuff to deal with, and it ain’t easy to live with that. Here in my land down under it makes me want to head for the top and take my boys with me. We will always look out for each other. We tight.”  Land Down Under follows a slow-burning trilogy of potent tracks from Yung Milla: Daily, Better Days and Used To Be. “Hot shit,” says Triple J’s Nick Findlay. His righteous path has just begun…
