What are your top three Aotearoa hiphop songs? @PuhaPrincess lays out her three. I don’t really remember when my love for hip hop started. I can’t recount some great ‘ta-da’ moment and unlike Dean Hapeta my “whakapapa hip hop” didn’t start as a means to provide relief from “the hoha-ness of the way it is.” It probably had something to [...]
