Im a rapper, a fast one some times and love my RnB all the same. Been at it for a decade now and still goin hard. Reppin for Aotearoa over here in Sydney. been here 4 years now...aint bad...but it aint home.
Why this name?
Tuppz. An abbreviation of my first name...Tapahatangata
Do you play live?
Yeah...heaps...got a nomination at the UMA's for best unsigned artist.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Well you are reading this aren't you? I wouldnt have access to the maddest beats if it werent for the mp3 potential.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Mos Def, and I'd eventually start my own, go back to Aotearoa and sign up all those street emcees you aspire to make it. I wanna make sure whoever works with me and makes me who I am, gets theirs.
Band History:
Started off thinking I was an american rapper...now I rap with a full kiwi accent. Thanks to australia for pointing this out to me and helping to discover my true style. Thanks to New Zealand for raising me to see all points of view I needed for open minded music.
Your influences?
Anything that catches my ear
Favorite spot?
The heart of South Auckland, New Zealand...where it all started...

Anything else...?
I can rhyme, I can write. I just have a trouble making beats cause I never really have the time. I love to rhyme over beats that I find on the net, even just for fun. Look how many rappers have made it based on their "Beatmakers"...pretty sad huh...wish I could do both.
