Six years ago Team Dynamite imploded, the consequence of a long building 'lack of self-care'. In 2022 they rose from the ashes with the release of their album, Respect The Process, and a redemption tour.
They formed in the late 2000s after aspiring teenage MC's Lucky Lance and Tony Teez decided to take hip-hop beyond their weekend freestyle sessions at a local park. An introduction to producer Haz Beats provided the beats they were missing, and suddenly Team Dynamite was a legitimate group, building a reputation for dance-floor friendly hip-hop and becoming mainstays of the Young Gifted & Broke collective.
The group released The Demo Tape in 2010, Shepherds Delight in 2014 and
Never Again EP in 2015. They’ve collaborated with a who’s who of New Zealand music including Che Fu, @peace, Laughton Kora and Bailey Wiley. Their high energy live show saw the group play major festivals, the opening slot for international acts Methodman and Redman and support to local acts such as Fat Freddy’s Drop and Ladi6.
Team Dynamite has been quiet for the last few years, save for a few singles to keep fans intrigued. They’ve focused on other projects - music and otherwise. Tony is a youth worker, Lance has a clothing brand and Haz continues to make beats and produce music, notably for Avantdale Bowling Club and Miloux, as well as touring with the re-formed Home Brew.

New Video for Team Dynamite Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:29 pm Auckland hip-hop collective TEAM DYNAMITE shot their NZ On Air funded video for Coconut Lime feat. Che Fu over the weekend with film director Eddy Fifield. "The boys wanted a Kung Fu themed music video, and so I decided we might as well go all out and make a legit Kung Fu film with fights, costumes, sets, bad dubbing, and a narrative ripped straight from the classic Kung Fu films of the late 70's and early 80's. This turned out to be a pretty ambitious project, but with a great crew of hard working and talented people, and great energy and commitment from the band, we ended up with something pretty spectacular." - Eddy The video will be released late July, 2014 before heading out on a nationwide tour with Ladi6 in August.
