DLT and Che Fu reset the benchmark for Aotearoa hip-hop with ‘Chains’, The True School, and 2b S.Pacific. Otara godfather Phil Fuemana launches his legendary Urban Pasifika Records, bringing Lost Tribe, Dei Hamo and Moizna with him. After an appearance by New York’s Roc Raida (RIP) in Auckland, the national DJ scene levels up. Meanwhile, down in Christchurch, Scribe and Ladi6 are on the microphone, and the whole city is listening.

Aotearoa Hip-Hop: The Music, The People, The History is an award-winning rova original podcast.
