November has been a huge month for underground Australian hip-hop and R&B artists, with new songs, music videos, albums being released as well as new festival announcements. If you’re not watching closely, you’ll miss some gems – so we’ve got you covered.
Tommy Tang levels up with Underdog Behaviour
First up is Tommy Tang, who’s spent 2025 quietly levelling up. He’s one of those modern R&B artists who can do both – sing and rap – and on his second full album, Underdog Behaviour, you can hear how much sharper everything's become.
‘Full Throttle’ is the lone 2025 single that made the album’s tracklist, sneaking in as track three. It's our personal favourite, up-tempo, very melodic, and criminally underrated. If this had been rolled out with a bit more fanfare, or by a US artist with a big machine behind them, it would've done serious numbers.
