American born rapper wants to lead the way for the use Te Reo Maori in New Zealand music

This hip hop duo Rugged and Wyld are the epitome of no matter where you come from, if you stick to what you believe in you can achieve anything!

For Wairoa's cinema The Gaiety manager Zach Stark and Wairoa native Ratima Hauraki, their music is more than just sharing the beats, it's about inspiring the youth of their small town and spreading the use of te reo in New Zealand mainstream music. It helps that they happen to put out bangers like the above!

Wairoa is a small town on the East Coast in between Gisborne and Napier. With more artists we could see more te reo make it's entrance more regularly!
