Brooklyn hip-hop duo THE UNDERACHIEVERS have announced they will be returning to Australia and New Zealand for headline shows this April.

Born in Brooklyn, raised in Flatbush - Issa Dash and AK met in 2007 and burst into the scene in 2012 with their debut mix tape Indigoism which was highly praised by major hip-hop critics.

As members of the Beast Coast movement (which includes Joey Bada$$ and his Pro Era crew), The Underachievers are part of the new wave of influential rappers coming out of New York.

Tickets go on sale at midday Monday, February 1.

Telstra Thanks is bringing an exciting 48-hour pre-sale just for Telstra customers from 12pm Thursday, January 28 until 12pm Saturday, January 30. For more information on how to purchase, visit: telstra.com/music. For complete tour and ticketing details, visit: livenation.com.au.

Revealing a raw energy that feels almost reminiscent of 90s hip hop, The Underachievers have shaken up the game with a refreshing new voice, bringing plenty of psychedelia and heightened lyricism into the mix. Their most recent sophomore album Evermore - The Art of Duality portrays a mature and auto-biographical manifesto of The Underachiever's lifestyle past and present.

Having toured with the likes of Joey Bada$$ and Kendrick Lamar, last year the duo embarked on a sold out headline tour across North America and Europe.

Following the recent announcement that their next anticipated mix tape project Lord of Flatbush 2 will be released in early 2016, the duo is now gearing up for the second leg of The Forevermore Express Tour throughout Europe, New Zealand and Australia.
