Yeah man!

Best known prolly Hilltop Hoods...

But as for like, Australasia....u best be going to New Zealand, they have a much more recognized and active hip hop scene, with rappers like Scribe, the Deceptikonz and Mareko.

Get tracks like:

Scribe - Not Many Remix

Mareko - Stop, Drop and Roll

they got some dope producers like, P-Money..
