Aotearoa hip-hop artist Tipene has unveiled his first single We No Muck Around taken from his soon-to-be-released EP of the same name.

Listen here

The single sees Tipene represent his Aotearoa East Coast hip-hop roots with the track being sonically reminiscent of the early 2000’s nostalgic sound making We No Muck Around a track that is purpose built for the summer.

The upcoming five-track EP sees Tipene join forces on the beatmaking with multi-award winning producer 10A (Tenei Kesh), who has worked alongside the likes of Soulection, Scribe, Ladi6 and JessB.

Tipene and his music both fiercely embrace his Māori heritage, as he aims to uplift, empower and ‘re-indigenise’ Māori through the power of his music.

The new EP will arrive December 16, just in time for Aotearoa summer. This summer is set to be one of Tipene’s best one yet, with support slots on L.A.B’s upcoming regional tour and other major festival slots to be announced.
