It’s Time To Sing Happy Birthday to Baro

After months of waiting, the ‘yung’ Melbourne MC Baro, is finally turning 18 (on Monday). Now he doesn’t have to worry about getting kicked out of venues he’s playing in, can pick up cigs legally, but he will be tried as an adult if he gets involved in an altercation on public transport.

Whilst he’s probably celebrating in Adelaide in preparation for the first night of his national headline tour, we’ve made sure he still gets to feel at home with his friends. Turns out Baro has some talented and important people in his life.

Happy Birthday Baro!

THUNDAMENTALS

"S'up Baro?! Happy Badman day! May you spend it sipping fine liquor and chiefing on that good smoke with the homies. Being 18 is good because you no longer have to sneak into the back of the club or grow a shit moustache in order to fool bouncers. If I could give any advice to a young lord, I would say despite it feelin’ way worse, always slap on a franger 'cause chickens be scandalous. Keep killin’ 'em!"

- Jeswon, Thundamentals REMI

"Happy Birthday Little B(a)ro, You made it, you can finally do all the shit you were doing before, except without being thrown out of the Metro for being underage. I'mma give you the heads up, Clubs suck. But you're a rapper, which means you'll probably get Gold Bottles and Hot topless chicks. I didn't start rapping ‘til I was 19 so I may be wrong, but I have a good feeling for you. Also, be extra careful riding dirty ie. drink driving etc. Cause you're black so….well you know….yeah.

Anyway big love and I hope whatever strain of that good shit you get to bless this day, is some chronic 2001 Xxplosive." Remi + Sensible J JACKIE ONASSIS

"Dear Baro, Happy birthday my friend - wow, it seems like only yesterday you were under 18. You're now old enough to be considered a paedophile by some people. Now, take a deep breathe through your nose - you smell that? That's the smell of freedom. Smells confronting doesn't it. Now you have to vote. We vote for the HEMP party. Good Luck." Much love,
Jackie Onassis

"Happy 18th my dude. The bad news is you've already done most of the cool shit you're only legally allowed to do once you turn 18. The good news is it's still way better drinking at a bar than in a park. So yeah, do that. Cause you can now. Good luck with tour man, see you soon."

ALLDAY

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BARO!

'Yung Shut-The-Club-Down' can actually legally get into a club! You've done so much dope stuff for how old you are already. Let’s do lots more cool shit, have lots more parties, fuck shit up all over Australia and the world. I'm lucky to call you a friend, have the best Birthday brother
