Homebrew Crew - 'Underneath the Shade' VIDEO

Homebrew Crew are pretty much funny guys.

I loved the way that this video manifested from a grass-roots campaign to get a music video done after NZ On Air turned the boys down once again for music video funding.

It is with great excitement that they have just released their debut video for their Kiwi-classic hip-hop track 'Underneath the Shade'.

Directed by G.C., Chris Graham, the release party was on Thursday night. Couldn't make it myself but was there in spirits.

Onya fellas!

PNC feat. Jordache & Tom from Homebrew - 'Slow Motion'

Here's a hot new track from NZ rapper PNC.

'Slow Motion' features two nice guest verses from Jordache and Tom Scotch of Homebrew.

Haz' Beats - 'The Good Country Beat Tape'

Here's some fresh-as beat material from our man Haz' of Home Brew Crew.

Man makes the beats for MC Tom Scott to spit over on the Home Brew material, some of the nicest hip-hop shit to come outta' New Zealand in a while.

One of the big reasons for their rapid come-up and super-solid fan-base is down to the fact their tunes are so easy to relate to; no bullshit.

Well, Haz' been takin' a bit of flack lately from toys that should prove themselves, pay dues, or really just shut the fuck up. Simple.

The classiest way to retaliate is just to do what you do best and better, tell them you're gonna do it.

Introducing 'The Good Country Beat Tape', inspired by Home Brew's recent NZ tour, and haterz.

Enjoy.

Haz'Beats: 30 Day Jammin'

Haz' from local crew Homebrew has finally completed his beat marathon. He undertook to create a beat a day for the month of June, creating on occasion two a day. Despite floating in the clouds most days and treating June like his own personal party, the man hit the finish line goin' hard. Fuckin' eh!

Many of them beat-maker gems, the final installment came today as a tribute to two of his biggest influences, two legendary cats in the hip-hop production world who both passed away well before their time was due; Japan's Nujabes and J-Dilla from Detroit, USA.

Check it below plus a favourite track of mine from both Dilla and Nujabes after the jump.

Enjoyous!
