'Tracy Grimshaw' - Mulalo [Music Video]
Mulalo breaks out her menacing charm in slick single "Tracy Grimshaw"
“White Australia has a black history and a black future, me, Mulalo”
Following her 2021 single “M31 (Racing down the Hume)”, the naturally bold and unrelenting Mulalo has released latest single “Tracy Grimshaw”. In it she asserts herself once again as one of the most sumptuous wordsmiths in so-called Australia, gifting listeners with an infectious confidence as an inevitable symptom experienced from her bars.
Drenching her rhymes with wit and a slicing delivery, Mulalo embodies the beauty of powerful women in command of their message and their music. You’ll find her gliding over 18YOMAN’s punchy yet melodic 808’s, spitting out bars that are brimming with her authentic personality & style. Weaving in a plethora of references to Aus Pop Culture, Mulalo shouts out nostalgic icons in the most seamless manner:
“Like Lee Lin Chen, i’m a 10, Like Julia, I’ll make a fool of ya ,They can’t get me out of their head, Natalie Imbruglia, I vogue, I pose, Petite like Dani Minogue, I run the show like Rove, First Lady like Jackie O”.
Mulalo had me genuinely laughing out loud whilst completely on my own. Every word she says can really be heard, thanks to the fact that she does not care about what anyone has to say about her - Ultimately, creating her own music with the utmost authenticity. Mulalo’s naturally unapologetic-no-facade nature is an energy that penetrates through the entire music industry - you will not be able to forget her name.
Mulalo is one of a kind - and she’s been sure she’s that bitch.

Thank you for reading this article. Before you leave the page, we’d like you to take a moment to read this statement. We are asking our readers to take action and stand with the BIPOC community who fight and endure the oppression and injustice of racial inequality.
Here in ‘Australia’, Indigenous people are the most incarcerated population on Earth. Countless lives have been murdered by white police, white government policies and this country’s white history, institutionalised colonialism and ongoing racial oppression. Racial injustice continues today under the phoney, self-congratulatory politics of ‘Reconciliation’ and the notion that colonialism is something that must be denied and forgotten, an uncomfortable artefact of the past.
Feeling guilty is not enough. We must take action, pay the rent, educate ourselves and acknowledge that empathy and sorrow for past actions is insufficient if this does nothing to prevent our current reality from extending into the future.
Please consider making donations to the following organisations (the list is so small and the work to be done is so large, do your research to find more grassroots, Indigenous-lead community organisations):
Indigenous Social Justice Association - fighting to stop Indigenous deaths in custody
Firesticks Alliance - who campaign for Indigenous land management, cultural burning and looking after Country
