Hans. - EP Review: Kimyuntak
Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, Hans. is an exciting Korean artist that has been dubbed by VICE Magazine as "One of the rising stars of New Zealand Hip Hop." as well as being lauded by beats 1 DJ Zane Lowe as one of his favourite NZ rappers.
With his breakthrough single Froyo featuring Clairo amassing over 10 million streams, his consistency in releases has allowed him to become a staple in NZ Hip-Hop all the while supporting international acts such as Billie Eilish and Rejjie Snow and representing New Zealand at SXSW.
On the new EP Kimyuntak, Hans. finds himself exploring different sonic landscapes like on the opening track Nelele which has an almost euro techno vibe to it.
On the single Be Grateful, the rap almost feels like it is summoning a Beez In The Trap vibe from Nicki Minaj. The vocal delivery is deadpan, yet I know this was by way of creative choice as part of this image and the album.
The track Cappin was definitely the stand out for me. I felt that overall the sound did not resonate with me. However, this is just my opinion and I would encourage you to check it out for yourself as there is definitely an image and sound package here that will resonate with some.
With a couple of interludes thrown in, this is an EP that has a vision and follows through with it.

Dilz - Single/Video Review: I've Been 2
05 Dec 2022 // by Ben Ruegg
Dilz' new track I've Been 2 hits hard. With a huge bass sound that doesn't overwhelm as much as it just makes you aware of its power, paired with the chimes as a hook and a powerful trap beat, I would say that this Dilz track is a statement about where he has come from and where he is now.

14 Oct 2022 // by Ben Ruegg
The new single from Teazse, an independent rap artist from Auckland, brings a lot of what people like about modern hip hop and brings it into his own world, while still acknowledging the sound of those that came before. For example, the sampled pitched voice works well when used well, and it's done here well.
