Introducing your Unearthed high winner for 2025: DRIZZZ!
It's the moment you have all been waiting for... DRIZZZ is the 2025 Unearthed High winner! He is a 16 year old from Elizabeth Macarthur High School who's taken out the title of the mammoth annual competition thanks to his hip-hop heater 'WHO'S DAT!' Let's run it back one more time, for the victory lap! DRIZZZ was born and raised in the UK until his family returned to Nigeria for two years, after which the whole family would once again move overseas, this time to Australia. Since then, he's only become more passionate and serious about being an artist. Four years on, DRIZZZ's music is a vivid map of all the places that have raised him. Taking inspiration from artists like Central Cee, Nemzz, and Skepta, his grime-sounding style pays homage to his London-born roots, while also making room for his Sydney-side upbringing to take influence too. It makes for a unique and loaded listening experience, one made especially prominent on the debut upload and Unearthed High entry from DRIZZZ, 'WHO'S DAT!'. Spinning the track on national radio for the first time, triple j's resident hip-hop head and host of The Hip-Hop Show made sure listeners knew about the latest in the hip-hop game. "This kid is fresh, and I say kid because he's sixteen! At sixteen I was doing music, yeah, but not nearly as polished as this." 'WHO'S DAT!' was the question on everyone's mind from the moment this explosive track hit the Unearthed High radar the following morning. DRIZZZ's fierce bars and heavy-hitting flow had the Unearthed team floored - scrambling to figure out just who this mystery MC was. Once they did, rave reviews for DRIZZZ started rolling in from all corners of the globe. And they're not the only ones! triple j Unearthed Music Director Claire Mooney is putting her support behind DRIZZZ too... ' It's impossible to ignore an Unearthed High entry that crashes through the noise with as much confidence, charisma, and energy as sixteen year-old DRIZZZ. 'Who's Dat' is a statement track, one so impressive we had to double-check his age! Razor-sharp bars, flow and presence that hits instantly boosted with the slickest UK Hip Hop production, DRIZZZ is already sounding ready for the big leagues. One of the most exciting voices we've heard all year and we're so proud to crown DRIZZZ as our new Unearthed High champion! ' This morning, triple j Breakfast hosts Concetta & Luka surprised DRIZZZ with the news at his school in South-West Sydney. As part of his win, DRIZZZ will get to work with acclaimed hip hop producer Nerve for a songwriting session, as well as receiving mentorship and support from industry experts and the triple j team. With two heat-fuelled singles and an equally impressive run of live shows, DRIZZZ is fast emerging as one of the most enticing new voices in Australian hip-hop. A MASSIVE congratulations also to 16-year-old Gomeroi songwriter Kyla Belle, who was recently announced as the winner of the 2025 Unearthed High Indigenous Initiative. Kyla will be teaming up with acclaimed Australian producer and engineer, Konstantin Kersting, to mix her next single, and will also receiving mentorship from triple j's own Nooky. The Unearthed team would also like to congratulate EVERYONE who entered this year's Unearthed High competition, as well as all the parents and teachers who have helped them express their creativity, and especially to our four other finalists! With more than 1,300 entries, the class of 2024 made this decision one of our hardest yet! The pool of talent we receive each year only seems to climb, and it only makes us more excited to see what's to come in 2026. But before we do, let's hear it for the sixteen year old getting behind the wheel of Aus Hip-Hop, and sending it - all gas, no brakes! Congratulations to DRIZZZ!

Sex, drugs, murder and injustice: Amanda Knox tells the real story behind THAT 2007 murder
We've sifted through the latest offerings from TV and streaming platforms to find the best shows you should be watching this week. THE TWISTED TALE OF AMANDA KNOX NEW EPISODES WEDNESDAYS, DISNEY+ It's understandable why Amanda Knox would want to make this eight-part retelling of her arrest, trial, conviction, demonisation and eventual exoneration for the 2007 murder of her British flatmate, Meredith Kercher, while studying in picturesque Perugia. The salacious story with sex, drugs and even Satanism that saw her dubbed Foxy Knoxy and spend four years in an Italian jail is absolutely hers to tell after all the indignities and injustices she suffered. Knox herself is on board as an executive producer for this well told dramatisation that draws from her books Waiting To Be Heard and Free and it's presented as her chance to correct her 'often mistold and madly twisted tale'. By the same token, the producers are at pains to point out that liberties have been taken with characters and timelines and that knowledge – after movies inspired by the case and a 2016 Netflix documentary – can make it sometimes uneasy viewing. Kercher's sister last year said it was 'difficult to understand' the purpose of series that puts the awfulness front and centre and again – and she has a point. JAMES WIGNEY Imagine coming home to find your apartment has been broken into and your housemate brutally slain. Now imagine your confusion and frustration as you are interrogated for hours – in a foreign language – by police who seem hell bent on proving you are a cold-blooded, sex-crazed killer. This new true crime drama offers almost visceral insights into the bewilderment of American student Amanda Knox as she finds herself wrongly accused of murdering her British friend Meredith Kercher in 2007. The trial, imprisonment and subsequent exoneration of Knox, which made headlines around the globe, are all detailed in this new series starring Grace Van Patten as Knox and Bad Sisters' creator Sharon Horgan as her devoted mum. Certainly, Knox is an imperfect victim. Her response to the tragedy – canoodling with her boyfriend at the crime scene, doing cartwheels in the police station and pointing the finger of blame at her boss during a 'confession' – is far from textbook. And that's partly what makes this series so compelling. SIOBHAN DUCK ADAM RICHMAN EATS FOOTBALL WEDNESDAY, 9PM, SBS FOOD It's not often you hear fine dining and football mentioned in the same sentence, but American celebrity chef and world game enthusiast Adam Richman is out to change that in this series that travels around the UK finding ways to combine the two. His first stop is East London, home to West Ham United, a traditionally working class area that's been gentrified and now has the culinary choices to prove it. From scoffing a pie and mash made from an 80-year-old recipe to sampling fancy wood pigeon on an up-market barge – and of course a match day curry – Richman looks like he's having an absolute ball. Coming episodes will take him to Nottingham, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester and Newcastle. TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR V MANCHESTER CITY SATURDAY, 9.30PM, CHANNEL 9, 9NOW What a joy to see the English Premier League back on free-to-air television with a game each week (the rest is on Stan, live or on demand). London club Tottenham Hotspur began its post Ange Postecoglou era in style last week with a convincing win over 3-0 win over Burnley, while the Manchester City machine also fired up early with 4-0 belting of Wolverhampton Wolves that sent them straight to the top of the table. Having won six of the last eight titles, City underperformed by their own lofty standards last season, so fans will be expecting a better showing to wrest the top dog status back from arch rivals Liverpool. ROME UNDERGROUND SUNDAY, 7.30PM, SBS If you think any of the recent underground rail projects in Australia have been complicated, try digging holes in a city where hidden, ancient treasures lurk underneath just about every street. That's the dilemma facing the engineers and archaeologists tasked with constructing a much needed extension to a rail line in the Eternal City, where nearly 3000 years of history are stacked on top of each other and only 10 per cent has been excavated. While trying to improve access to tourist hotspots such as the Colosseum and Piazza Venezia, they discover huge barracks with delicate mosaics and frescoes, and never-before-seen auditoriums and private houses, and have to figure out a way to balance the lessons of the past with progress. AMERICA'S TEAM: THE GAMBLER AND HIS COWBOYS NETFLIX With the new NFL season just over two weeks away, American football lovers can kick off a little early with this seven-part series on the rollercoaster ride that was Dallas Cowboys in the 1990s. Renegade owner Jerry Jones took over the popular Texas franchise known as 'America's Team' in 1989 and sacked its beloved two-time Super Bowl winning coach Tom Landry in favour of his firebrand friend Jimmy Johnson. Together they assembled a team of superstars that would dominate the decade with three championships – despite a string of scandals – and help turn it into a $9 billion juggernaut. Key players including Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith – aka the Triplets – are interviewed along with high-profile guests such as former President George W. Bush and Nike co-founder Phil Knight. I, JACK WRIGHT SUNDAY, 8.55PM, ABC There are mysteries and mayhem aplenty in this pulpy six-part UK drama about an already volatile family thrown into further turmoil after the apparent suicide of its patriarch. The title character is a thrice-married hard man, who has pulled himself up by the bootstraps to preside over a 100 million pound brick business. But when he's found dead on his country estate, seemingly with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, his wives, children, in-laws, colleagues and staff are all left wondering what will happen to his fortune. After gathering to see the old boy off at a boozy wake, the will reading that follows is nothing short of explosive, setting the stage for a family battle royal, while the cops investigate whether everything is as it seems. OUTBACK TRUCKERS TUESDAY, 8PM, 7MATE Driving an enormous beast of a vehicle through the parched Aussie interior sounds like my idea of a nightmare, but there's something strangely compelling about watching these resourceful and resilient pros performing an essential service in the toughest of conditions and weighing up the cost of time away from family. There's veteran Steve, who is dragging an excavator through 1000km of blistering heat and rutted roads to an amethyst mine. Mike is delivering much needed firefighting equipment to a remote community, and performing emergency surgery on his malfunctioning rig. And Sludge is on the comeback trail after an accident and feeling the pressure to turn up on time for a very short shutdown window of the only rail line between the east and west sides of the country. KILLER WHALE: AUSTRALIA'S MEGAPOD TUESDAY, 8.30PM, ABC Killer whales are all too often painted as the villains of nature docos – the bullies of the sea who bump adorable seals off slabs of ice or gang up to hunt down playful dolphins. And yes, they are absolutely partial to a sea lion snack or a cetacean canape, but they are also extraordinary and fascinating creatures with complex social structures and methods of communication. This outstanding documentary, narrated by Richard Roxburgh, follows a couple of orca experts operating out of Bremer Bay in Western Australia as they track, tag and study a community of the ocean's apex predators and make some extraordinary discoveries about an animal that developed a complex brain 30 million years before we did. TENDING – PRINCES OF THE PALACE Whether it's the revelation a jealous Prince Andrew made snarky comments about Kate Middleton or cringey home videos of Harry and Meghan Markle bumping and grinding in the delivery suite, the spare heirs keep making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Having weathered Andrew's car crash interview with Emily Maitlis and Harry's biography Spare, the Palace is now dealing with the fallout of Andrew Lownie's biography Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York which digs up more dirt on Randy Andy. Some of the lesser known the antics of Andrew, Harry and the House of Windsor's other menfolk are also detailed in this salacious 2016 documentary.

Alleged four-work remark at Meghan and Harry's wedding revealed
For decades and decades, a staple of royal news reporting rounds was the Prince Philip Gaffe. Once, twice a year, the indomitable Duke of Edinburgh would be shunted off to make small talk with Strathclyde youth workers or to barrack for Britain somewhere that didn't broadcast The Archers and of his trademark 'quips' would come. Blunt, rude, insensitive, cheeky or just a bit racist, he did all sorts. And so here we are today, more than four years after his death and the duke's very forthright way with words has put him back in the news, after a new book revealed the four words he said after Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's 2018 wedding. Not 'Where's the bloody bar?' or 'I want cake now' or 'What's a Suits star?' Rather the Duke of Edinburgh allegedly offered a brusque assessment of the nuptials that does not sound glowing. Grant Harrold worked as a butler for (then) Prince Charles for seven years, from 2004 to 2011, while his partner Jack Stooks was a gardener at Highgrove, Charles' country estate. In 2018, Stooks, still working at Highgrove, was invited to watch the Sussex wedding from the small lawn directly in front of St George's Chapel, taking Harrold with him. In Harrold's new memoir The Royal Butler, as per the Telegraph, he writes: 'We watched as the happy couple, and then the other members of the Royal family, filed out of the chapel. When Prince Philip came out he turned to the Queen and said, 'Thank f--- that's over.'' This line now joins the list of instances of Harry's grandparents not exactly brimming to the brim with familial glee over the union. Philip allegedly gave Meghan a cutting nickname, allegedly referring to her as 'D.o.W.' - The Duchess of Windsor aka Wallis Simpson - after 'he detected her apparent similarity to Wallis', according to veteran royal biographer Ingrid Seward. Ahead of their wedding, the Duke of Edinburgh was 'wary' of the former Suits star's 'charm offensive,' Seward in My Mother And I. 'While the Queen continued to champion Harry's new love, he warned his wife to be cautious. It was uncanny, he told her, how much Meghan reminded him of the Duchess of Windsor.' Harry's friends were also amongst the doubters. In Tom Bower's 2022 Revenge he recounts the shooting weekend where the duke introduced his then-girlfriend to his school friends. Afterwards the old Etonians allegedly messaged one another, 'OMG what about HER?' said 'Harry must be f***ing nuts.' By the time the Sussexes' wedding rolled around in May 2018, Queen Elizabeth had allegedly grown concerned about the match. In June this, conversations she had right before the Sussexes' big day with one of her closest confidants, her cousin Lady Elizabeth Anson, were revealed by biographer Sally Bedell Smith on her Substack. (Lady Elizabeth died in 2020.) Only two weeks before the wedding Lady Elizabeth said: 'The Number One Lady — I call her Jemima — says the jury is out on whether she likes Meghan. My Jemima is very worried. 'We hope but don't quite think she is in love. We think she engineered it all.' Even once Harry and Meghan were wed, the scepticism didn't stop. In 2019, writer Sophia Money-Coutts (daughter of the 9th Lord Latymer of the Coutts banking empire) revealed that 'a very senior member of the royal family' had been calling the Duchess of Sussex 'the degree wife, because she'll only last three years'. Clearly all the naysayers were wrong. This year Harry and Meghan marked their seventh wedding anniversary and the duchess' Instagram account regularly features lovey-dovey, oooey-gooey posts about 'Aitch' and their sunshine-and-roses life in California. However, what is clear is that after the great rupture of Megxit and the Sussexes' initial couple of years of professional twinning, doing a one-off Spotify special, launching their Archewell Foundation, and making the six-part Harry & Meghan attached at the proverbial hip, since 2023 their careers have split off from one another. Meghan has been setting herself up as a lifestyle entrepreneur, the doomed American Riviera Orchard morphing into the successful As Ever and with the second series of her Netflix show With Love Meghan set to debut later this month. She's been making wine and spreads and waves and doing podcasts and there is a Christmas special in the pipeline. However, Harry has cut something of a more lonely figure, having resigned (along with his co-founder and the board) from Sentebale, the charity he co-founded with Lesotho's Prince Seeiso, earlier this year over a falling out with the organisation's chairman. The recent announcement that the Sussexes have secured a new but reduced deal with Netflix largely seemed like primarily a win for the duchess, with her putting out the statement and the duke having no solo projects of his own. The mind positively boggles thinking about what Philip would make of Sussexes circa 2025 if he were still alive, let alone the very concept of flower sprinkles. I think we can definitively say he never once spent a single second thinking about how he could 'show up lovingly', as Meghan says in the new With Love trailer, nor did he ever consider the spiritual uplift of the decorative ice cube. Less than three years after the Sussexes' wedding, the royal family returned to St George's Chapel for his funeral, only weeks after the duke and duchess' paint-peeling Oprah Winfrey interview. Harry flew back to farewell his grandfather, while Meghan, seven months pregnant, was 8,500 km away at home at doctor's orders. According to Tom Bower's Revenge, Harry's remaining grandparent made her own blunt call, allegedly saying to aides, 'Thank goodness Meghan is not coming'. You have to wonder if, for the duchess having just laid out in painful detail her experiences of bias and of a callous disregard for her wellbeing, the feeling might just have been mutual.
