Artist On Artist: SOLLYY + Dylan Atlantis Talk 'No Assumptions', What They'd Teach A Parrot + More

Sydney's music scene recently witnessed an exciting new collaboration as Western Sydney producer, DJ, and MC SOLLYY joined forces with the talented Dylan Atlantis for their double-sided single titled No Assumptions.

Released just last month, the project has already made waves among rap enthusiasts, garnering significant attention within the industry and from fans alike. On Monday, the track’s music video dropped, which was directed by Rejjie, who is known for his work with artists like One Four and Kwame.

Together, SOLLYY and Dylan Atlantis have delivered a unique and visually captivating experience that perfectly complements their musical artistry.

The video's concept, "Hear no evil, Speak no evil," aligns perfectly with the song's themes, as Rejjie brings his unique visual style and SOLLYY's distinctive sound to create a mesmerising sonic work of art.

With SOLLYY’s debut EP on the horizon for 2024 and an appearance at Bigsound 2023, this collab with Dylan Atlantis marks yet another major milestone in both artists’ careers.

In celebration of the release of SOLLYY and Dylan Atlantis’ collab track No Assumptions, we had the pair interview one another where they chat everything from their funniest experiences to what they’d teach a parrot if they had the chance.

DYLAN: What’s an outfit from a music video you wished you owned?

SOLLYY: I can’t think of an all-timer right now but recently I’d say A$AP Rocky’s ‘fit in the RIOT video, the belt goes so hard.

SOLLYY: What’s the funniest experience we’ve had together?

DYLAN: We've had so many, but I think it would be when we got so faded after a Breakfast Road show and freestyled for 2 hours straight with our friends at our friend Jacinthe’s apartment.

DYLAN: Grailed piece of music equipment you’d like to have in the studio?

SOLLYY: I’d love to have a real-life Fender Rhodes piano one day.

SOLLYY: What’s a song you wish you made?

DYLAN: Pyramids by Frank Ocean.

DYLAN: What’s your most embarrassing moment?

SOLLYY: In year 7 I put up a status on Facebook asking for songs to cover on the guitar, and this girl I had a crush on requested that I do One Thing by One Direction - so I got my sister to film it and I full sang it guitar in hand and everything.

I was just supposed to have her see the vid though, but I didn’t realise back then if you tag someone in your vid then all their friends see it. So the whole year eventually saw this video of me singing One Thing on Facebook. Took a while to live down that one.

SOLLYY: If you had a pet parrot, what would you teach it to say?

DYLAN: I’d probably try and make it swear heaps or teach it how to sing.

SOLLYY: What song?

DYLAN: Love Sosa by Chief Keef.
