Australian hip-hop icon Baker Boy has returned with a brand new single offering dubbed ‘PEACEKEEPER’, which marks his first musical offering of 2025.
The gritty, energetic and uplifting track was written in collaboration with the artist’s long-time writing buddies Rob Amoruso and Pip Norman, alongside Melbourne-based producer New-Haven (Imagine Dragons, Allday) and triple j Unearthed star, REDD.
Baker Boy – ‘PEACEKEEPER’
Tackling themes of prioritising your own self worth and personal peace, ‘PEACEKEEPER’ represents a powerful personal statement from the Yolngu rapper.
“The positive reputation is still there, but I guess I’m getting into the more real side of things; some darker, grittier feelings, I’m letting that come out in my music more,” Baker Boy explains.
“Over the last couple of years, I’ve stepped out of what people want my music to be, and I’m just writing what I want to write. ‘PEACEKEEPER’ is me standing up and taking ownership but keeping that party vibe.”
On the topic of the accompanying music video, Baker Boy adds: “This video is all about the new era and look of Baker Boy. I wanted to make a video that felt like it evolved with my music. There has been a real change in my direction, stepping into some grittier moments sonically so I wanted the visuals to show that too. It’s hitting on the things Baker Boy is known for through dance but pushing the boundaries of how that looks and really taking ownership of the spaces I step into.”
