206collab - What You Waited Years For

206collab's debut album, What You Waited Years For, burst onto the scene in October 2006, released on the hatonrack label and distributed through Creative Vibes.

The album travels through a diversity of moods, from the funky, energetic vibes of Too Oh Six, A Flagrant Affair and You Don't Know, through the harder-hitting Deadly Concoction and Tough Justice, to the softer, reflective ambience of Below the Surface. The latter track was the project that first saw the soulful melodies of singer Tiff integrate with the musical talent of 206collab.

A glance at the 206collab scrapbook reveals the extent of press the debut release attracted in publications like 3D World, the Sydney Morning Herald, Drum Media, Beat Magazine, InPress, TNT magazine and a host of others.

Two 206collab tracks were selected by Triple J radio for a July session of their regular program, Hack, aired on ABC TV and ABC2. Three What You Waited Years For songs were selected for the soundtrack to High 5 Extreme Sports TV series 6 - check the videos for these out at the 206collab video gallery. The album enjoyed a place in JB Hi-Fi's Top Ten chart for six weeks running.

On radio, What You Waited Years For enjoyed airtime on Triple J and extensive play on community stations throughout Sydney, NSW and inter-state. A glance at the album’s credit list gives some clues as to the reasons for the hype.

What You Waited Years For was mixed and mastered by veteran MC/producer Weapon X, responsible for the acclaimed Nodfather compilation and the Sneakerpimpin Ain’t Easy LP with Ken Hell. The album features an impressive array of Australian talent on production, including Melbourne artists Weapon X and Aux One, Sydney’s Fame, Rookie Productions and Standard Issue, and 206collab's own JPlatnum.
