Influences
Stevie Wonder,Commodores, Earth Wind & Fire, Rakim (named my 1st son after him), Public Enemy, KRS-1, Run-Dmc, Big Daddy Kane, old skool cats like that. I studied piano when i was younger, so i dig classical music. Where i'm from there was only rock music around on the radio so i got into the early eighties rock bands. I love reggae and ragga music as well. I got mad respect for cats like Bounty Killa, Buju-banton and Barrington Levy. They are mad influences on me. Stevie's probably the biggest as he's in my I-pod on heavy rotate and my kids always request him. shot.kk
Sounds Like
i'm told i sound like an angry fulla, but that's just when i rap.haha.but I sound like Donny Hathaway when i sing.haha. I sound like me when i ragga. I'm the south pacific's answer to Tu-pac or Biggie, or maybe KRS-1?haha. I got political raps, i speak my mind about Religous issues in the World, and I got reggae and ragga tracks too. I make it my mission to make original and creative music...........I reckon more producers,rappers, recording artists should make the effort as well.
You see the Rule is!?(as if you don't know)......don't bite!!!! When i started out in hip-hop, that was like the number 1 Rule!! If you sound like some one else........then your a biter!!Which means your style is unoriginal and your jocking someone elses personality and soul!
I think a lot of Hip-hop artists here in N.Z and abroad should check themselves......Be true to yourself.make the world a better place and stop rapping using other artists flows and talking about champagne, and what type of ride you have while you still living at home with your parents...... be yourself............
Talofa, i've got a new site up with some of my beats i produce for use of other Rap/R&B/Ragga/whatever type artist thats looking for something fresh from this side of the world. Its in my top 8 friends and it's called "Plantation beats". Check it out. I hope you enjoy!!!!..............I, rap,d.j,beatbox,produce,direct my own music video's and am partner in a televison production company.I also have my own Clothing Label "Overstayer clothing".I am now an independant artist .I'm now onto my 4th album now . My 3rd album has been released here in n.z and in Australia Its Called "DOMINANT SPECIES". My two earlier albums are called "SAVAGE THOUGHTS" and "2ND ROUND TESTAMENT". I was the songwriter of the year in 1999 recieving the Silver Scroll Awards. 1st Hip-hop artist to receive and award of this kind in my country. I emcee, over hip-hop mostly but i also emcee over drum'n'bass, jungle, and ragga and toast over anything too. I sing also, I create most of my tracks choosing to compose tracks and not to sample. I play drums, keys, guitar, bass, and scratch .you can check me on my own website www.kingkapisi.net.
