The second edition of our new monthly party “GoodTymes” is taking place on Saturday the 31st of July at Hitch, 2 Fort Lane, Auckland City.
This month we’re happy to be representing the new school with Fire & Ice and one of my old school favourites, the legendary Bevan Keys, playing a selection of Hip-Hop, Funk, Soul, Boogie and generally great tunes. It’s a dope bar with good music, great people and GoodTymes for all. Make sure we see you there!

It’s great when you finish a video and it lives up to your vision for the song. This is instantly one of my favourite clips that I’ve done. The process was challenging and the end result is stunning. A very big thanks goes out to our director Greg Page (Greg also directed my previous videos for “Stop The Music”, “321/Get Back” and “Angels”).
Thanks to all the extras and a special thanks to Andrew Timms and the Fish Digital team for the post effects. You guys smashed it.
For those of us who live in New Zealand you can see the video for my newest single ‘Falling Down ft. Milan Borich’ on C4. The premier screening was last night (Somehow that vital information slipped past me, otherwise I would have given you all the heads up!). All good though, I’m glad its getting spins!
I will be uploading the video over the weekend, so check back here or subscribe to my youtube channel to check it online very very soon.

L to R: LV, DJ Scratch, P-Money and Sean C at Grind Music Radio
I had the pleasure of joining my friends Sean C and LV on their Grind Music Radio show last thursday. For those unfamiliar with the show it’s a live one hour weekly online Hip-Hop radio show and what makes it unique are the legendary guest producers whom they interview week after week. The list of guests so far includes luminaries such as DJ Premier, Alchemist, Just Blaze, Q-Tip and many more. The stories they uncover on this show are amazing, historic, hilarious and always insightful.
Last thursday’s special guest was DJ Scratch of EPMD. I was amazed and reminded of how influential this guy actually was to me as a young fan, not only for his beats but also for his scratching performances on record. I used to listen to the EPMD track “Funky Piano” over and over again to learn his cuts and then not too many years later it was his production on the first and subsequent Busta Rhymes solo albums that would inspire me to get creative on the beats. Scratch is one of Hip-Hops greatest producer’s, his catalogue is crazy. I’ll post that interview as soon as it’s available online.
Grind Music Radio is a must for any Hip-Hop fan and should be of particular interest to any aspiring (or established) producer/beatmaker.
You can see video of these interviews and podcasts of full shows at GrindMusicRadio.com

For the past few days I’ve been hitting the pavement in New York City with the specific intention of getting things crackin for P-Money stateside. Assisting me on this endeavour is my good man Mr Andy Murnane aka YDNA of Dawn Raid and riding shotgun is the homie Monsta G (a very talented artist in his own right). I don’t wanna divulge too much at this stage (I believe in the jinx!) but trust we are putting in some solid foundations.
I’m really enjoying working alongside Andy, a person whose ambition matches my own. We’ve watched each other grow, been competitors and co-conspirators pushing New Zealand artists forward. Our approaches, aesthetic, taste and style are often opposed but the end goal is always the same. We share a passion for music and this business, so it was only a matter of time until we could work together on something big.
As the pieces come together and shit gets locked down I will share more but for now I just felt it best to check in and keep the blog alive!
Shout out to Boss Lady, Sean C and LV, Boogie Blind, DJ Shiftee, Sha Money XL and whomever else I may cross paths with this week. Cheers!
P-Money, Sha Money XL and YDNA. Def Jam Offices, NYC.

Includes a snippet of their club joint with Dei Hamo at the start.
“Work Hard” is produced by P-Money and ATP.
This is the new video from Deceptikonz. Featuring yours truly on the cuts!
It was fun to link up with the guys and collaborate again. Their new album ‘Evolution’ drops real soon. Keep an eye on Dawnraid.co.nz for more info on that.
Track produced by Twice As Nice. Video directed by Askew One.
(To my turntablist buddies; If we had more time I would have put a solo on the end but we got this done at the eleventh hour. I’m just happy my parts made it on the album!)
While Im trying my hand at different genres and tempo’s on my latest album, it’s still safe to say that Hip-Hop is my musical backbone. I’ve been passing some of my hip-hop beats around on the low and the first example to come back is this track with JR and ATP of BeatKamp from the Gold Coast.
ATP (Aaron the Track Prez) is an old mate from out South Auckland and his new discovery is the kid JR. You might have spotted them on the BeatKamp Anthem video earlier this year.
So I left the boys with some of my beats on recent trip and they hit me back with this joint, and it’s dope!
(You might also recognize a snippet of this beat from the Ironlak video).
