The music of Baro is turning heads. Not in a “racist going bat shit on a crowded bus” kind of way, but the 17-year-old has confident beats and a natural flow that is causing people to sit up and notice. An early mix, Word Smoother received some triple j love but it was his HowGoodisGood? mix-tape that really got people talking and resulted in a deal with New World Artists (Allday, Illy). His music has been described as 90s throwback and while the jazzy sounds of Mos Def and A Tribe Called Quest are noticeable, on tracks such as “Travellin’ Through Time” and “Cinema” there is also a lot of 2014 Melbourne represented.Baro has said that some of these observations have come from travelling on public transport so ahead of his appearance at our Noisey party at Melbourne’s Lounge next Thursday we got him to give us his top three YouTube clips of people losing their shit on Australian public transport.Black vs White Racial Fight On a TrainHaha. This is crazy. Australian trains are the place to be. I wish she was wearing a Go-Pro or something so we could see everything in action. I can't think of a day where I don't tell somebody to suck me off at the next station. The best thing about this is that I think that we can all relate to it. I just wonder how awkward I would feel if I was watching this happen. I’ve seen some weird shit on public transport. A creepy dude was drawing me last week and when I looked at him, he just gave me a creepy smile. Well back to the point, I don't know how I’d react if a big brown lady told someone to suck her dick so hard around me. YEY YEY, BITCH!Lady Hates Children and Other Races on Newcastle TrainThis is the worst type of person on public transport. You have crackheads/junkies, racists and stuck up old white people. This woman is worse than all three. It seems like she just found out how to video when she pulled out her phone. Old people’s sarcasm is always funny but this is pretty fucked up. A public service announcement to everyone; if you are 60 but perfectly healthy don't feel obliged to kick somebody off their seat. Finders keepers!Damo and Darren at the Train StationIf you're not from Australia and have seen this video, please don't get the wrong idea of us pocketing lighters. This may be animated, but to some of us, this is a reality TV show based on the junkies of Dandenong station. It’s always cool to see shit like this go down and makes the lonelyand long train rides that bit more exciting. Shout out to Damo’s generosity for being a big part of Australia this year and the rest to come. Damo for Prime Minister. Fuck Tony Abbott. We are all ciggie butt brains out here.I think I am on the train way too much. All these things are too familiar. Still 17, boarding trains, requesting blow jobs as soon as I hit the next station, pocketing lighters and verbally abusing children under 12. I have turned to a product of my environment. Thank you Australian public transport system.Baro plays our NOISEY party in Melbourne next Thursday.
