Skryptcha Releases Comeback Single “What We Do It For”

Sydney MC Skryptcha was a hip-hop force for more than a decade before a plague of personal problems saw him taking a two-year hiatus. He thought he’d quit the business for good until the desire to make music overwhelmed him.

The result is “What We Do It For,” an ode the people who’ve supported him along the way and the diversity of the world at large. It also features smooth soulful vocals from Evan & The Brave’s Daniel Mifsud, who some of you may remember as an Australian Idol finalist way back when.

Only time will tell where Skryptcha goes from here, but it’s great to have him back.

Daniel Mifsud Faces Idol Axe

And then there were five. Last night we said goodbye to Australian Idol nice guy Daniel Mifsud.

“It’s been such an amazing time,” he said after the verdict. “I’ve learned so much.”

I don’t think anything last night came as a surprise to anyone. While Daniel started out as an early favourite, he’s been let down by some dodgy song choices. Not that making the top six is anything to sneeze at.

Natalie, Matt, and Carl all earned touchdowns for their awesome performances, so it makes sense that Marty and Tarisai joined Daniel in the bottom three.

I wonder whether the unique announcement technique, where all the Idols stood on the stage, was used to add some interest to the fairly predictable proceedings.

Next week the Idols will celebrate the ARIAs by singing homegrown hits. It’s a nice broad theme that should result in some fantastic performances. If Marty doesn’t break out some John Butler Trio I’ll be shocked and amazed.
