Wordperfect
spellcheck
MC Battle exponent and founding father, cultural supporter, freestyle phenomenon, B-boy, artist and party rocker-everything you can fit under the Hip hop banner is embodied in this artist. Hailing from Christchurch and now residing in Auckland city Wordperfect is ready to explode on the national scene with his album ‘Spellcheck’.
The album is due out in August with the first video/single off the album ‘Why boys cry’ featuring Reotakiwa.
From his early days rocking Christchurch airwaves with the Beats n Pieces crew (Antsman from ‘Rhombus’, Hame from ‘Breaks Co-op’ and DJ Pause-1 from ‘What Now’ fame) this MC has battled to national finals, founded the Trans Tasman and soon Commonwealth MC battle scene, and placed third in New Yorks biggest MC battle ‘The Rock steady Crew Anniversary – MC battle’ in 2002.
He is part of King Kapisi’s Overstayer crew and recently returned from the Australasian tour of the Big Day Out with the king to huge support.
Now it is time for this artist to create a new sound for New Zealand Hip-hop. A Caucasian view of his environment, with a deep foundation in the elements of Hip-hop culture and black music.
Whilst the party will be apparent the message will be loud and clear of what Wordperfect stands for. Love, skills and depth.
