Scribe is undoubtedly the shining star of New Zealand’s much celebrated young hip-hop scene.
Following his outstanding guest appearances on P-Money’s ‘Big Things’ album, Scribe has released his debut album ‘The Crusader’ in both New Zealand and Australia to much acclaim. Scribe is from Christchurch and is signed with Kog Transmissions.
“Scribe is arguably currently New Zealand’s best rapper but if he continues pumping out material like what’s contained on this, his debut album, he’s bound for world domination.”

Scribe’s first solo show held at Club 77 after the Big Day Out sold out within 5 minutes of the doors opening!
‘The Crusader’ debuted at #17 on the ARIA Urban Chart, and still remains in the top 20 after 20 weeks.
Scribe is the first Kiwi artist to ever simultaneously hold the number one spots on the album and singles chart.
For a Kiwi artist to sell gold within hours and platinum within days in their home country is phenomenal. The album is now Quadruple platinum in New Zealand having sold 65 000 albums to date in the three months since release!
“If Scribe hailed from Los Angeles or New York, you can bet he’d be hotter than hot right now. Whether a hip-hopper from New Zealand can take on big wigs has yet to be seen; but he’s certainly got the talent to do so.” electricnewspaper.com
“Scribe certainly has a stage presence and is one artist that is able to straddle the ground between the underground and the commercial ease.” City Rules tour review, 3D World
Scribe is also a member of Verse Two and has featured at the Aotearoa Hip-Hop Summit. He has been described to have ‘awesome vocal talents’ as featured on the 2001 Best Song ‘Sunshine’.
