Raspberry Cordial were an Australian hip-hop group formed in 1991 by Chris Lumsden on keyboards and John Safran on lead vocals.
When the duo formed Safran was in Year 12 at Yeshivah College, an orthodox Jewish high school; while Lumsden was his friend.
[1][2] They received heavy rotation airplay on local community radio, and were second in the RMIT Battle of the Bands competition.
Raspberry Cordial's first release was 1991's Melbourne Tram, on cassette of which Safran apparently has four hundred unsold copies.
After winning a state government youth music initiative, Raspberry Cordial released Taste Test on CD in 1993.
