Melbourne hip hop duo Teether and Kuya Neil have shared the first taste of their upcoming mixtape Stressor. The track is called ‘RENO’ and it’ll be the closing track on the mixtape, which is due out Friday, 3rd February through Chapter Music.
According to the duo, the track is a celebration of their perseverance. “’RENO’ is both an acknowledgement of our achievements within this present context and also an attempt to manifest access to resources that have previously been out of reach,” they said in a statement.

The statement continued, “Those who always had access experience more tangible results to their work, but us and our peers have built spaces, scenes and sounds out of very limited means. This is a celebration of that perseverance.”
STRESSOR is the third collaborative release from the two underground artists, having released the Good Surprises EP through Teether’s label back in February 2021. They signed to Chapter Music not long after and released the GLYPH mixtape in November 2021. Four songs from the record were featured on the soundtrack for Netflix’s recent show Heartbreak High.
The duo made waves at BIGSOUND 2022 – Music Feeds labelled them one of the standout hip-hop acts for the event, with journalist David James Young writing that they’d delivered an “exceptional set”.
STRESSOR will feature nine tracks, including collaborations with rapper Realname, Sevy, and zk King. You can pre-order the mixtape here.
