MOKOMOKAI
Known for their unique blend of sounds drawing from 70s soul, gritty drum loops, and confident often playful lyricism. They are recognized for their raw, deliberate and authentic sound, which has been described as both a "masterclass in local hip-hop" and a "bold statement: raw, refined, and wholly original".
Produced by Dusty & Ghos with lyrics fronted by Manu, their featured tracks reach far & wide with guests including Mā, Troy Kingi ‘aka The Hongi Slicker’, Lukan Raisey, Melodownz & Brandn Shiraz. With three acclaimed releases under their belt, the trio have earned award nominations, international attention, and a dedicated fan base.
“In a crowded landscape, Mokomokai proves that authenticity still resonates, and that growth doesn’t have to compromise edge.” — Music.Net
