Stand Up

Scribe

Synopsis

‘Stand Up’, Christchurch rapper Scribe’s first single, comes bookended with excerpts from his soon-to-be signature tune — ‘Not Many’. But where ‘Not Many’ is a statement of personal intent, ‘Stand Up’ flies the flag for New Zealand hip-hop — and Chris Graham’s NZ Music Awards Tui winning video includes many of the fellow musicians name-checked in the song. Shot in a basement in black and white (except for the colour ‘Not Many’ coda at the end), it’s an energetic, confrontational performance from an artist who fully believes in himself and his scene.
