B-Town Warriors Return with Hard-Hitting, Real-World Anthem - 'B-Town Biz'

After a six-year hiatus, B-Town Warriors return with a massive old-school jazz/funk/trap anthem 'B-Town Biz’.

Bourke, NSW: The collective compromises of mostly 20-year-old Indigenous people from Bourke in Western NSW, working with OG charity organisation Desert Pea Media. B-Town Warriors make their triumphant return with a hard-hitting real-world anthem called ‘B-Town Biz’.

The track pulls no punches, celebrating local cultural identity and bringing ‘truth telling’ direct to Australian airwaves. The tune features turntablism from Bliss & Eso producer ‘IZM’ and beats from Sydney-based underground legend ‘HAZY’. The tune also introduces 20yr old Barkindji/Wangkumara artist from Bourke - ‘LAWLESS’.

Since 2017, the B-Town Warriors (as 15-year-old high school students) in collaboration with DPM have been renowned for their socially conscious and politically impactful music that not only entertains but inspires change. Known for their high energy, razor-sharp hip hop bars and killer hooks, re-igniting their ongoing collaboration with the Desert Pea Media Creative Team is a significant moment for the crew and the community.

One of the B-Town members Lorraine Dutton aka LAWLESS said, “If you wanna be a role model. You’ve gotta stand up and speak for what you believe is right. No matter who or what you're up against – we’re all here for a reason.”

"This work is all about relationships, trust, friendship. All the good stuff." says Toby Finlayson, Creative Director of Desert Pea Media. “It’s such an honour to watch these amazing young people grow, not only as artists and creatives but as people. It’s a deep privilege to be invited on country, and to contribute to this movement for truth-telling and cultural change.”

"Our work in Bourke and Moree over the past couple of decades, and more recently through 'The Crossroads Project' has been an incredible journey of connection and transformation” says Toby Finlayson, Creative Director of Desert Pea Media. “It’s an honour to watch these amazing young people grow, not only as artists and creatives but as people. The power of music and media to bridge gaps and amplify unheard voices is immeasurable.”

In 2016, B-Town Warriors and DPM released their hit debut single ‘People of the Red Sunset’ which dropped onto spot rotation on Triple J, attracted international media attention on its way to becoming a summer anthem of 2017 (400,000+ views on Youtube). The crew went on to release four other songs including the 2018 banger ‘Thundercloud’ that went on to win a National Indigenous Music Award, earning a segment on Channel 10’s ‘The Project’.
