NZ Hip Hop Stand Up (2021) Tha Feelstyle 'Su'Amalie'
Tha Feelstyle created an abstract way of rhyming and rapping in both English and Samoan. The music video of his award winning single Su-amalie/Ain’t Mad at You was filmed back in Samoa. Rapped nearly entirely in Samoan, Tha Feelstyle’s 2004 single ‘Su'Amalie’ was a tribute to the islands of the artist behind the track, Kas Futialo, and helped inspire Pacific artists in Aotearoa to incorporate their native tongue into their hip hop.
Unearthing the stories behind some of the most influential tracks in Aotearoa hip hop.
