\nOpening with a super hero vocoder reminiscent of Redman as the ‘Great Wiz’ in De La Soul’s ‘Oooh’ http:\/\/youtu.be\/avIqTrX2eac<\/a> video Average Rap Band, who are mixed Young Gifted & Broke members, Lui Tuiasau, Tom Scott and Dandruff Dicky, have rearranged themselves to pronounce the fact that lyricism is an instrument too.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Average Rap Band as a unit peels back all the complicated parts of being one of New Zealand’s most cherished rap bands and tells you to take it and go.<\/p>\n

They’ve also switched up their independent distribution methods by making it so you can only get the EP if you email them and ask for one to be sent to your home. They’ve been writing personal notes to their fans, in a fresh digital out the trunk type-way.<\/p>\n

Let’s break it down, even though that’s not what Tom and Lui want you to do to their self-titled debut. But, because they are the rap band who waved the middle finger at John Key the way they did, this country has chalked them up as social heroes. Fine. It is what it is, just don’t expect that here.<\/p>\n

This EP is not trying to be conscious or political and it’s not going to give you answers for your life, or maybe it will but don’t listen to it for that. Listen to it if you want to know about what makes your favourite local rap heroes happy, if you want to know what they get up to when they’re chilling and living as accountable citizens like everyone else. These are rap tracks that do what rap tracks are supposed to do – be insightful, flex with a flow on a fluid beat, be confrontational at times, express ones’ thoughts\/emotion without inhibition and make you wanna vibe out. This EP does that.<\/p>\n
