Harley Webster (born circa 1982)—better known as Phrase—is an Australian hip hop MC, originating from Melbourne, Victoria.

History

Phrase began to piece together an album with producers Daniel Merriweather and J-Skub (Jan Skubiszewki), while working part-time for the Reach Youth foundation,[1] an organization that Phrase credits with helping him overcome behavioral problems he had in his mid-teens.[1] The album, Talk with Force was picked up for national release by Universal Music Australia in 2005. Three singles were released from this album, "Here Now" featuring Mystro, "Catch Phrase" featuring Daniel Merriweather, and "Hold On" featuring labelmate Max White.

In 2007 he founded the record label Crooked Eye with DJ Flagrant and J-Skub.[citation needed] The label's first release was a mixtape by Melbourne MC Illy (which Phrase also appears on).

Phrase is currently working on his next album, to be titled Burn It Down,[2] which will feature production from J-Skub, M-Phazes, and Jase, and guest appearances from Daniel Merriweather, Jackson Jackson, Bliss n Eso, Illy, Kram, Wendy Matthews and Max White.[3][4] The first single off the album, "Face It" features Ian Kenny from alternative rock band Karnivool and was used in the marketing campaign for the Australian release of Halo 3 [5]
