BELIEVE offers up the sounds of Drill, Rap, Duke and Cypher, brought together in this genre pushing international collab.
Having received a massive response from their debut single EXPRESS, multi platinum award winning Producer/Artist Taka Perry (500m+ streams) and champion Hip-Hop/Rap Artist Leon Fanourakis are following up with the release of their blistering track BELIEVE.
The ever-evolving track begins with Taka’s always-on-point selection of eerie synths and chaotic drum loops, providing the perfect entrance for Leon’s jagged, dark drill style vocals, delivered at breakneck speed.
With an upcoming full length record titled THE GRIFFIN TAPES, these musical pioneers have made sure that this new release continues to fuel their musical inferno, by gathering a trio of premium top tier feature artists from across Australasia .
Switching between rebellious Hip-Hop from Indonesia’s RAMENGVRL, up-tempo Duke rap from South Korea’s sokodomo, and fiery Cypher bars from Australia’s YNG Martyr, the track is delivered in 4 languages.
The idea to have a track with artists from Japan, Indonesia, Korea and Australia really excited me. Hitting the studio in each region to track these verses, I could tell each scene has its own unique footprint and I loved celebrating that on the one track. It’s something you don’t hear enough of in today’s hip hop scene.

Directed once again by Red Moon Studios, the accompanying music video is a visual, often tongue in cheek display of the track’s sonic adaptations; jumping from the production studios of Sydney, resorts in Jakarta, the alleyways of Tokyo, home vocal booths of Seoul and the Green Screens of Melbourne.
With their upcoming debut record THE GRIFFIN TAPES set for release this October, the creative duo are sure to have a few more surprises up their sleeve.
