Brother

Chart-topper 'Brother' is about Smashproof's South Auckland neighbourhood, and how the hip hop trio want it to change — crime and violence are not the only options. It's an urgent message, delivered via a powerful, Tui award-winning drive-by video from director Chris Graham. The clip made it into the mainstream news media for a scene bluntly inspired by a high profile incident where a businessman stabbed a young tagger. Singer-songwriter Gin Wigmore features during the chorus. 'Brother' broke local chart records, and spent eleven weeks at number one.

Little needs to be said about this incredible song, other than it’s a slice of New Zealand musical history, and Chris Graham’s video is the perfect companion.
