When it comes to Australian rapper Kerser, there has never been any need for hyperbole. His rags-to-riches success story, and the stats around him speak for themselves.

True of many rappers, Kerser uses his art form as catharsis. Despite his ability to project a staunch, sometimes cocky persona, one can safely assume this is a case of necessity rather than preference. One of, if not the most humble artists in the game, Kerser continues to attract attention from media, industry peers and new fans alike.

2015 dawns a new era for the unlikely C-Town hero as his 5th LP (in as many years) ‘Next Step’ is released via the launching of Kerser’s very own label the much-anticipated ABK Records. The future for both artist and label is bright, and the buzz is loud. Next Step is out November 13.
