~TheJuiceMedia - Rap News

~TheJuiceMedia: Rap News the news source for the discerning viewer, delivering a bulletin to restore your faith in the fourth estate; and make you nod your head to the beat, even as you shake it in disbelief. An off-beat musical, current-affairs programme, 'Rap News' is responsible for turning bollocks-news into socio-poetic/comedic analyses which everyone can relate to and understand.

"If Noam Chomsky had better rhyme flow" ― John Safran

"What the world’s been waiting for: a brilliantly rapped spoof news report" 
― Leo Hickman, The Guardian

Juice Rap News - the online comedy rap current affairs philosophical phenomenon delivering a news bulletin that will have you nodding your head to the beat, even as you shake it in disbelief.

Transmitting from a suburban backyard in Melbourne, Australia, with a fusion of biting satire, rigorous academic research, anarchic home-made costuming, and deftly-performed rap rhyming, Juice Rap News is an extraordinary success story of the interwebs - a unique beast that quickly garnered a loyal following since its debut in 2010, racking up a tidy 7.5 million views over twenty episodes, and featuring cameos with world icons such as Julian Assange and Noam Chomsky.

The hard-hitting and hilarious news show broadcasts on YouTube
(www.youtube.com/thejuicemedia) and is hosted by charming, slightly naive, yet perspicacious anchor Robert Foster, who draws the viewer on through a cavalcade of opposing viewpoints as his guests fire rhyming broadsides at each other (and poor Robert) in an attempt to prove that their perspective should prevail.

Buoyed by their online success the two minds behind the project, Giordano Nanni and Hugo Farrant, have recently formed a team comprising some of the best rap rhymers in Australian history, in order to bring the show to life onstage. Having made a successful live debut at Australia's prestigious Woodford Folk Festival 2012, and established that the team works marvellously, they are now setting their sights on international stages.

The live show promises a raucous display of intellectual and thought provoking satire, peppered with a touch of slapstick, and some incisive philosophical messages, all woven over classic head-nod hip hop beats.
