This week, it’s Seth Sentry’s AWESOME oz hip-hop song, The Waitress Song that we are loving.  It has been added to Triple J’s high rotation list and has been getting numerous plays and LOADS of requests.

We love the laid-back vibe of the song and the tale of unrequited love for a waitress at a Cafe that serves sub-par food and past-their-read-by date newspapers.

From his MySpace page:

Introduced to the live circuit in 2003 through performances with local hip hop/drum and bass outfit D.S.O.L, Seth quickly became a fixture at Elf Tranzporter’s seminal ‘Phat Logic’ night from 2003-‘05, where he honed a freestyle technique that ultimately gained him local prominence through a third placing in the 2005 Revolver Battles competition.

By this time he also organized and kicked off the successful weekly ‘Sideshow Freaks’ night at The Old Colonial in Fitzroy. Featuring a weekly line up of emcees and acts from around Australia, it was here he met and began a working relationship with talented hip hop producer Matik and Melbourne emcee Pez, leading to an appearance on ‘Lazy’ from the Forthwrite Mixtape (2007) and a guest feature on Pez’s hit album A Mind Of My Own (2008).

Truly independent and self-funded, Seth scribbled down rhymes for many of the tracks comprising The Waiter Minute on docket pads and serviettes during breaks between food and beverage orders at his day job at local restaurants.

Seth Sentry creates energetic songs with complex, unpredictable and challenging lyrics, held together with a strong narrative flow; a clear but sophisticated story emerges from each song on The Waiter Minute, while Matik’s top-shelf production skills make each song coherent and accessible.

Seth’s stark, sophisticated narratives often confront controversial and deeply personal themes, yet the emcee’s mature but quirky sense of humour is always in evidence.

We love this track and we love Seth Sentry!! If you like this track, you can purchase it on or add him on MySpace or become a fan on Facebook!
