MOKOMOKAI
Mokomokai is one of Aotearoa’s most enigmatic underground hip hop acts to come out in recent years. 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 Walters, 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. Their latest album “PONO” drops on vinyl in October 2025, marking a new chapter in their evolution. Following the success of “Whakarehu”—which earned a 2025 Aotearoa Music Award nomination for standout single “Kupe”— “PONO” showcases a refined yet raw sonic palette that’s as fearless as it is original. “In a crowded landscape, Mokomokai proves that authenticity still resonates, and that growth doesn’t have to compromise edge.” — Music.Net
