Iconic Aotearoa hip-hop pioneers Dam Native have announced a long-long-long-awaited reissue of their 1997 album Kaupapa Driven Rhymes Uplifted. Unavailable for an eternity, we can finally spin tunes like Behold My Kool Style, The Son with Che Fu, and The Horified One featuring the boss Teremoana Rapley. Politically charged with rhymes that haven't aged a day, this is the stuff. Don't sleep on this!
To celebrate the re-release, we're hosting a launch event with the one-and-only Hypethenative making a rare appearance to sign some records. Kicks off, with MC Slave on the decks, from 4pm on Friday, September 20.
“Dam Native's Kaupapa Driven Rhymes Uplifted album has to be one of the most in-demand records for reissue. Every time we mention Dam Native (or Danny Haimona) it comes up. Unavailable for at least two decades, the Zane Lowe-produced album is one of Aotearoa's lost classics.” - Audioculture
