Don’t let the Mickey Mouse sweatshirt and completely non-threatening facial expression on his artist page fool you—360 is a stone-cold murderer… of beats. As for people, well, I’m pretty sure the emcee’s conscience is clear—though, hey, you never know! In any case, Killer finds the Melbourne, Australia representative departing from the lyrically-driven pop stylings of Booth debut Throw It Away to craft a more straightforward dancefloor scorcher. The ‘96 Bulls show surprising production chops for a bunch of retired B-ballers, layering glossy synths and driving guitar riffs over a four-on-the-floor beat as 360 gets his 007 on: “I’ve gotta get my license to kill, so I’m down here to tighten my skill / If I spend the right time in the field, then I know that I finally will.” Time to weigh in, Booth readers: if you were sitting in the examiner’s seat, would the mic-wrecking skills 360 showcases here earn him his killer’s license (you know, if such a thing existed)? Those who pass the up-and-comer should mark their calendars for the Sept. 30, release of his Falling & Flying LP, as well as picking up the Killer remix bundle (featuring contributions from 12th Planet, Redial, Dr. Don-Don and Los Maddens) when it hits the ‘net in the near future.

I always love hearing emcee's from down under. I think it's because the accent makes listening a unique experience. 360 does a solid job, but I feel like he is holding back. There just isn't enough energy in his vocals to match the up-tempo beat. If you like rap from down under, I encourage you to check out the group Hilltop Hoods. I recommend their track, "The Nosebleed Section".

This really dosnt sound like a Aussie Hip Hop track, mainly because the production sounds alot more mainstream/club ready then most other Aussie tracks. Overall solid, but not great. Ill give it 4

Everytime I listen to this song I just want to break out in dance, either it be when I'm at home with my headphones on or walking to work surrounded by thousands of people, I just love this track, lifts me up. Can't wait for the release.
