Bliss N Eso

As the small Australian hip-hop scene grew, it developed an identity influenced by, but distinct from, that of American hip-hop. Straddling the line between the two is Bliss N Eso. Originally known as Bliss N Esoterikizm, a name that led to problems with pronunciation among their fans, the group consists of MCs Bliss (Johnathan Notley) and Eso (Max MacKinnon) as well as DJ Izm (Tarik Ejjamai). The two rappers are easily told apart on their records by the difference in accents between American-born Bliss and Australian Eso.
