This week on Kickin’ It with Katija, we’re joined by one of the most successful names to ever come out of the Australian hip hop scene — Illy.

From his early days on the open mic circuit in Melbourne to chart-topping albums, label shifts, and platinum hits like Papercuts, Tightrope and Then What, Illy has carved out a career built on consistency, reinvention, and skill.

We catch up to talk about where it all began, his latest release The Good Life (Deluxe), and the massive Good-er Life Tour kicking off next week — including 27 stops around the country, from major cities to regional favourites.
