Add to watch list

Held at the Auckland Town Hall in 2001, the Aotearoa Hip Hop Summit was the biggest hip hop event yet staged in New Zealand. This documentary showcases performances and interviews with the hottest names in the four elements of hip hop: MCs, DJs, break dancers and graffiti artists. There are international acts from Germany and Australia, with Ken Swift representing old skool break dancing from New York, and Tha Liks from Los Angeles. The local acts include Che Fu, Te Kupu, King Kapisi, P-Money and Sheelahroc. The special is presented by by Mai FM DJs Hayden Hare and Trent Helmbright.

We've all sort of been in the battles and seen each other over the last two years basically. It's kind of like a nice little crew that's getting together. It's like meeting old friends y'know. We get together, we talk about DJ-ing and stuff and just what's been happening in each other's little lives.
– P-Money describes the local DJ community
