Mallesons goes gansta

A group of wannabe gangster rappers from Mallesons - otherwise known as the 2009/10 summer clerks - have burst onto the Youtube music scene with their own special version of Coolio's "Gangsters Paradise".
The cheeky video - in which "Nicky Z featuring M.C Drizzle" rap out "Clerkship Paradise" - features references to bludging and Tim tams, a fair amount of gold bling, and fairly ordinary (i.e. dismal) singing by the suited-up "Marginalised Mallies Males".
The clip - which is rapidly notching up clicks on Youtube (more than 600 at last count) - has the backing of the firm and is recognised as being a bit of fun, though they are certainly not fearful of losing potential graduates to a hot music deal any time soon.
"Some of our summer clerks put the clip together as a bit of fun and it's something of an annual tradition," said a firm spokesperson today.
"But based on the quality of the performances, I suspect their future in the law is more assured than any future they might have in the music business."
