Tirren Staaf, otherwise known as Pegz (or MC Pegasus), is an Australian hip hop artist and producer hailing from Melbourne, Victoria. He is the CEO of Obese Records — the record label responsible for artists such as Hilltop Hoods, Downsyde, and Bias B. ==Biography== Tirren Staaf has said that he was named after Tiran Porter, former member of the Doobie Brothers.〔Interview with Hau Latukefu on Triple J Hip-Hop Show, 16 May 2011〕〔Lyrics of "Deities of Def", Pegz, ''Drama'' ("I was named after a motherfucking Doobie Brother")〕 Pegz has been a part of the Australian hip hop scene since 1992, and has released three full-length studio albums. As a teenager he was first a graffiti artist before becoming a rapper. In 2000, he scored a job at Obese Records, a specialist hip-hop music store in Prahran. He released his first, self-titled album on the Obese label in 2001, followed by ''Capricorn Cat'' in 2003 and ''Axis'' in 2005. In 2005, Pegz toured nationally with Australian Hip Hop Milk Bar Stars (Pegz, Muph, DJ Bonez and Plutonic Lab). Upon releasing his fourth solo album, ''Burn City'', in 2007, Pegz nominally retired as a solo artist to concentrate on managing Obese Records. 'This will be my last solo effort I think; I'm not in the mental space to be juggling everything right now, but we'll see what happens. I'm always writing. Always.' In 2009 Pegz, as part of Gully Platoon, together with Dialectrix (a.k.a. Ryan Leaf) and Joe New (Down Under Beats crew), released an album ''The Great Divide''. The album reached #5 on the AIR Top 20 Album charts〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=AIR Top 20 Albums )〕 and #18 on the ARIA Top 40 Urban Album charts. The group released their first video clip for the single "Nothing To Lose" on 15 September 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nothing To Lose Video Clip )〕 On 26 January 2011, Obese Records revealed that Pegz would be releasing another solo album entitled "Drama". It was released in April 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pegz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
