“I’ve seen people go from living on the street and being homeless to becoming youth workers because of hip-hop,” the Sydney rapper L-Fresh The Lion says. “It’s allowed them to see a future for themselves when they haven’t seen a future for themselves previously.”
Born in Liverpool in the city’s south-west, L-Fresh has been a stalwart of Australia’s hip-hop scene for more than a decade, producing three studio albums and performing throughout the country.
