Why cops want to silence Australia’s drill rap stars ONEFOUR

A shortage of opportunity and an excess of crime - artists ONEFOUR have risen from troubled beginnings to become Australia’s first drill rap stars, winning international success and recognition for their distinctive music. 

This is not, however, a simple rags-to-riches story. 

A new documentary ONEFOUR: Against All Odds follows the group as they try to capitalise on the viral success of their music, despite losing members to jail time and aggressive opposition from the police. 

In this extra episode of The Briefing, Sacha Barbour Gatt is joined by ONEFOUR's manager, Rick Simandjuntak, to speak about the group's music, and tell you why the police shouldn't be allowed to shut down artistic expression and that of drill rap music.
