Wizdm is a married father of three, and is an amazing popper and emcee.  
Mistery is a great all round fella, and excells in graffiti (Bounty Hunterz Crew), bboying and emceeing.  Check out this interview done with Maya Jupiter, Wizdm, Mistery and Chez done on ABC’s Compass.  Also, if you live around Marrickville, Petersham or Newtown you’re sure to have seen Mistery’s murals on walls.  Here’s a few photos you might recognise.
Oh, and did I mention they’re committed Christians? Yes, these guys are great witnesses to Christ in the Australian hiphop scene.
Here’s the clip, Intercepta from their last album, Beyond Underground:

I love hiphop and love poetry generally… so this is brilliant. Lauryn Hill’s a queen, a poet, an inspiration – and this is a great piece of her poetry which I thought I might share!
