Known for his crazy-ill [rapper tag video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJclW_sSbxw) and his first self titled mixtape. Grey Ghost set the tone of the night and proved any Ghost skeptic wrong. Having performed the crowd favourite *Space Ambassador* and even at one point giving out copies of his new EP like Santa during Christmas time, Ghost ensured a good night was to come. At this point the crowd was buzzing with every second person armed with a Sentry shirt, a girl in a R2D2 get up and even a couple lads gabbering in TN’s and Dry-fits. But one thing that everyone had in common was their love for the Aussie rapper. In particular his laid-back attitude, blue collar style and timeless lyrics. It’s no surprise why he was nominated for the Channel V Oz Artist of the Year. He performed crowd favourites like *My Scene*, *Room For Rent*, *Dear Science*and *Thanks For Your Hospitality.*At one point he grabbed an audience members’ phone and rapped a couple of bars of *My Scene* to a Melbourne based fan. It just shows how willing and laid-back he is as a performer and person whilst evoking an aura that is somewhat comparable to a drug induced night out. Women had their nipples out, they guys had their chests bare, people were sitting on their mates’ shoulders and there was even a mini-mosh pit going on in the first couple of rows. Shit was beyond cray and the vibe was very reminiscent of a backyard BBQ and Seth was the host. This craziness was followed by a freestyle session with opening act, Grey Ghost. Throwing a couple jabs at Ghost and vice versa. These two artists prove that they don’t need pre-written lyrics to string genius bars together. Seth Sentry came, saw and conquered Sydney with a mic in his hand and Nerf gun in the other. Seth has surely implanted himself within the Australian hip hop and Aussie music scene and is a successful artist in the making. Be sure to listen to Seth’s new album, *This Was Tomorrow* and see him live if you have a chance. Also, someone make this man a fuckin’ hoverboard already. **Photos**: Michael Perelini.
