“Cloud 9” by Baker Boy featuring Kian
Released 2017 Featuring Kian
“Cloud 9” by Baker Boy featuring Kian appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2017. It was first released in 2017. Its best result is #76 on the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2017. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #312 alternative song of 2017.
"Cloud 9" was Baker Boy's first single, put out independently on 27 April 2017 with Australian musician Kian singing on the chorus, and it came with a landmark attached: it's credited as the first original rap ever recorded and put out in Yolŋu Matha. The Indigenous Australian rapper flips between that language and English, and the reviews were warm, with MTV Australia hearing something both catchy and groundbreaking and The Music calling it a banger outright.
It opened doors fast. Triple J named Baker Boy its Indigenous Unearthed winner, and that win put him on the bill at the 2017 National Indigenous Music Awards.
