The pride of Palmerston North, PNC, has signaled his return with the exclusive streaming of his new track, Kobe and LeBron. The result has seen him finish at #1 on and secure NZ On Air Wildcard Making Tracks http://www.theaudience.co.nz/ funding.

One of the staples of the New Zealand hip-hop scene for years, the new track sees Samuel Hansen aka PNC once again collaborating with David Dallas, with what has again proved a winning duo.

"I'm proud to see that we finished number one," Hansen said. "There was a lot of other good tracks during the month, so it's nice to see our track connected with people."

As always the race was a close one, with PNC edging ahead of Diaz Grimm who finished second with his track, Kanye’s 1st Disciple.

"I'm currently an independent artist, so the funding means I can take the next step with the song and give it the push it deserves. We're really lucky in New Zealand to have institutions like The Audience & NZ On Air to help musicians achieve their goals."

This #1 placing sees PNC take home the NZ On Air Wildcard Making Tracks funding, which will go towards recording the single and producing a video (listen to his track here).

Announcing this month’s #1 kicks off the July round of voting. Who will be the next to be discovered? Head to and have your say.
