Season 5, Ep 13: In 2015 Urthboy released a song commemorating Phillip Hughes, in an unlikely crossover between cricket and hip-hop. A founding member of record label Elefant Traks and band The Herd, Urthboy has become one of Australia's most respected songwriters. His wide-ranging Final Word conversation looks at the crossover between sport and art: as conduits for grief, stages for coming of age, means of representation, as well as sharing stories from the synthetic wickets and live gigs of the 1980s Blue Mountains.
