With this track also comes the announcement of Arno’s debut mixtape Return To Raji, slated for release on September 12, 2024.
‘Boss Energy’ balances golden-era hip-hop with gritty production to set a new cue for Arno Faraji, while maintaining his ability to deliver a consistently captivating flow. Arno describes the core of this track as "taking charge of yourself on your own journey, being honest about what you want, and going for it".
Since becoming the first hip-hop artist to win the triple j Unearthed High competition in 2017, Arno Faraji has become a mainstay of Perth’s bustling hip-hop scene, and is now at the forefront of a greater, nation-wide rap explosion.
