00:02 - I'm gonna use everything in my power

00:04 to make your life miserable

00:07 until you stop doing what you're doing.

00:09 - I've never seen this happen before in Australia.

00:11 - There has been ongoing conflict.

00:13 - They're a YouTube phenomenon.

00:15 - It was (beep) game over.

00:18 - This is the future of Australian hip hop, right here.

00:21 - Growing up, we've always had run-ins with police.

00:23 They just look at us as like criminals.

00:25 - Where we're trying to divert kids from violence,

00:28 this group was using lyrics of inciting the acts of violence.

00:32 - Ralliation is a must.

00:33 - This video is lit as (beep)

00:35 - Guess growing up around it, we got sucked into it.

00:38 - Violence becomes the means for you to achieve a status.

00:42 - There's nothing unique about art

00:45 that talks about violence.

00:46 But for some reason, when it comes to hip hop,

00:48 we're having that debate all over again.

00:50 And I think it's because of who's telling that story.

00:52 - If you're constantly being profiled by police

00:56 and you feel insecure and unsafe in your own community,

01:00 you're gonna get angry.

01:02 - The real controversial aspect of One Four

01:04 definitely became a double-edged sword.

01:06 - It's like this yin and yang.

01:07 You have the street and then you have the music.

01:11 - We started to see the violence escalate

01:13 with the street gangs.

01:15 - Lex, my little brother, and Selly got locked up.

01:18 Pete got four years.

01:20 Lex got four years and Selly got 10.

01:24 - I thought, like, how are we gonna be able

01:26 to hold up the crew while they're gone?

01:28 - They were just starting to turn their lives around.

01:32 And then they're back in trouble with the police again.

01:35 - One thing I want people to understand

01:37 is how important it is to find suddenly love

01:40 and then run with it.

01:42 That's the one thing that helped us

01:43 get out of a lot of the bull (beep)

01:45 we had to go through.

01:46 - We knew that the police were gonna try to do

01:50 whatever they could to disrupt.

01:52 We had no idea, like, to what lengths they would go to.

01:55 - The way that the police are being used

02:03 to target one thought is something

02:05 that has never been seen in Australia.

02:07 - Where we have a problem,

02:09 we are lawfully harassing that group

02:12 and we don't apologise for that.

02:14 - But is the New South Wales police

02:15 an adequate judge of what is acceptable and what's not?

02:18 - Hip hop is the biggest genre in the world

02:21 and yet we want to de-platform it and censor it.

02:23 - If the police are successful in destroying a group,

02:27 it's a dark day for Australia and freedom of expression.

02:31 - You know, there's a lot more to lose if you lose.

02:33 So we can't lose.

02:35 - If that's your thing,

02:40 it's gonna keep you out of trouble,

02:42 keep you busy so you're not on the streets,

02:43 I'm good with that.
