With 34 gigs lined up, 360 proves he's far from done. Australia's rap king continues to dominate stages nationwide with his raw energy and unfiltered truth.
When Matthew James Colwell stepped into the spotlight as 360, he didn't just enter the Australian hip-hop scene — he bloody well owned it. More than a decade later, with 34 upcoming shows locked and loaded on the touring circuit, this Melbourne-born wordsmith is proving that real talent doesn't fade, it evolves.
360's journey from the gritty streets of Frankston to chart-topping success reads like an Aussie hip-hop fairytale, but one drenched in sweat, struggle, and uncompromising honesty. His breakout album Falling & Flying didn't just climb the ARIA charts — it crash-landed at number four and announced to the world that Australian rap had found its voice.
Raw Truth, Real Impact
What sets 360 apart in a crowded field isn't just his rapid-fire delivery or infectious hooks — it's his willingness to lay his demons bare. Tracks like "Boys Like You" featuring Gossling showcase his vulnerability, while bangers like "Price of Fame" reveal the cost of success with brutal clarity.

His collaborations read like a who's who of Australian music royalty: Pez, Seth Sentry, and Gossling have all stepped into his world, creating genre-bending tracks that refuse to be pigeonholed. It's this fearless approach to music-making that keeps 360 relevant in an industry obsessed with the next big thing.
Live Energy That Hits Different
Anyone who's witnessed a 360 show knows that studio recordings only tell half the story. His live performances are sweat-soaked affairs where every word hits like a punch to the gut. The connection between artist and audience isn't just palpable — it's electric.
"360's shows aren't concerts, they're confessions set to a beat that'll rattle your ribcage."
With festival slots at Big Day Out and Falls Festival under his belt, 360 has mastered the art of commanding massive crowds while maintaining that intimate, almost conspiratorial energy that made him famous in smaller venues.
Why 360 Still Matters
In an era where Australian hip-hop has exploded into the mainstream, 360 represents something crucial: authenticity. While newer artists chase viral moments, he's built his reputation on substance — tackling mental health, addiction, and the price of fame with unflinching honesty.
His influence on the current generation of Australian rappers is undeniable. From his fearless lyricism to his DIY ethic, 360 helped pave the way for today's hip-hop explosion. He didn't just open doors — he kicked them clean off their hinges.
With 34 shows on the horizon, 360 is clearly nowhere near done. For punters who've never experienced his live show, consider this your warning: you're missing out on one of Australia's most compelling performers in full flight.
