Last week, Spotify debuted their first A1 Live event, showcasing some of the hottest names in hip-hop from Australia and New Zealand with performances from Sophiegrophy, Kwame, Hooligan Hefs, JessB, Manu Crooks, and Triple One. We headed down to the Metro Theatre in Sydney to check out the event and shoot some portraits of the acts.
